The "your rotten so I gave you the freekick" theory is ludicrous and goes against the spirt of the game, and indeed the LOTG.
Course I don't have exact figures, but, in your grass the roots, or under 12 game, do you see many Ronaldo free kicks hammered in from 40 yards? Very much doubt it. and, most free kicks scored at grass roots will be down to a poorer goalkeeper, not the accuracy of the free kick taker.
Players generally want, to, well, erm, play? Yes, to play the ultimate advantage feels great, both for them and you, but overall, the chance to allow the game to flow, give them a moving ball at their feet with yards of space to run into, as long as you are consistent in what you allow.
Refereeing is not about seeing a foul and penalising it. My gran can watch tv and know when someone has been fouled, and she was cremated in 1998. Seeing a foul and blowing the whistle is not refereeing. Its about awareness, personality, appreciation for your surroundings, temperament and yes, 1% of it is luck. You can stand in adopt text book position, be the fittest person on earth and be wearing shiny new kit, however, if an opponent runs across your line of sight at the last minute, well, your f*cked.
Big difference between taking a chance, and taking a risk.
When you distinguish between the two, then you have your advantage.
