Sorry, its just the fact that no one ever, at least in my part of the world from any soccer federation ever come to assess our referees here and help us out on a more personal level is all. And I love the fact that it seems that you all get a lot of help in this are from your leagues and...

God no. I sent this ***** a straight red and was off the field in a few minutes. No time wasting for any racial slurs what so ever.

I would back you up 100 percent if I was your AR. The dissent has gotten out of control, even here, and it needs to be curbed in the butt starting at the earliest youth levels.

I was called a Nazi once in mens league game. Douche already had a yellow. Easy call.

Aloha everyone from across the pond. Great site and mahalo for letting me partake. Da Screamers are the parents, and or coaches, and or previous coaches, and or previous players and or auntie who just like to yell very loudly to kick the ball, push her back, shoot, move, pass, what are you...

I surely wish the US Soccer Federation, which is a joke in my mind would figure it out. We do not have very many resources available, the website sucks and when I email them I get their response in about 3 to 4 months. Which is why I am reaching out globally and I love this site. Small region...

This reminds of a 10-year-olds game I did a few weeks ago... but no, not really. This is a complete idiot having no idea what the laws of the game are and also disrespecting the game itself. I see these guys, they are one and the same and I have a few here in my region. He is acting like a 9...

In my mind, coming from way across the pond, first and foremost the referee was in a bad position in my mind on that corner kick. I would like to have in the box on that one and at the very least 4 yards to the left. Second, the player did duck his head down and received a boot to the face. I...

Great point Ben.

Spuddy, you read my mind! Yesterday I just informed my local commissioner that I was going to print out the cautionable and sending off offenses to every coach that I see. Im admin, assignor, and ref in Hawaii. His answer was that he would handle them. I will still print them out. My experience...

I was shocked that not even one card was issued for the first act of VC. The first foul was red all the way in my mind. The second VC was all on the referee in my mind. I didn't look too close on the offsides call but I would trust the AR.

and the I traveled off island recently to a tourney and ran some shifts in the middle. I personally curb the swearing in the butt immediately by exactly what has been said. Running along I make sure everyone hears, to watch their mouths. I also give a fair warning during my pregame speech...

Well, my day went very well I must say, the coaches agreed to meet including the most offending two players and it went well. I think they had a change of heart overnight and that I was very serious about my point in all of this which is to clean up the game. A HS referee stepped up and we got...

No we dont even have technical areas painted out. We will see how this plays out today. Three days ago I was commended for trying to set up a meeting prior to their game today to no avail so now I am the bad guy and a jerk! Who knows how this day will play. After my third game, I may just go...

We allowed, starting last fall. The state allows it. The league allows it. Thanks for making sure I checked before I started using it. And please take note that on my tiny rock, which there are only 3 adult certified referees, also take note that I took this admin job after refereeing for years...

It truly is appalling.

Nah just a bit nervous about my decision tomorrow is all. I know it is the right one and I have been researching it.

Im in Hawaii haha its early yet

Aloha back at you. I will keep you all updated as of now but I am going to actually sit at the sideline with my admin shirt on, after refereeing four games and tell them they can not hold their game. I am going to make a stand and I have read so many encouraging threads here that have helped...

I AM NOW TAKING A STAND FOR EACH AND EVERY REFEREE IN THE WORLD TOMORROW. I will sit at midfield prior to their game with my two excellent AR's that I assigned to that game and will watch and see what unfolds. Without a certified referee, a soccer match cannot take place, right? My commissioner...
