hi, i really enjoy refereeing , and i want to do a ref course but with he covid 19 looks like i have to wait, when a ref is not available i always try and stand in to help the games go ahead , i watch a lot of games and watch the positioning off refs etc.,
done about 20 games so far, but today i had an under 11s game which i had the linesman’s , but the away linesman was trying to tell me what to do etc., making bad decisions as he favoured his team , but there was this situation where the home team kicked the ball and the ball hit the away team player on the shoulder so it should be a throw for the home team , but this lineman said it’s still away team throw as coming of the shoulder doesn’t matter , i have not heard of this before and i wasn’t sure what to do ..So just gave the benefit of doubt,
second time , was one home team player was offside , even before the home team kicked the ball this linesman was ready to hold his flag up , so as the boy done a long ball , the home team player just stood still as not participating in the game , and the home team chased the ball and scored , this lineman’s said the boy was offside, , i said he was but the ball was not played for him and didn’t intervene with play , so i think i made the correct call , this linesman was shouting ref ref are you blind im waving the flag , do you need glasses , , to be honest i could of smacked him , lol but i was calm and said the boy wasn’t offside, , he was really ruining my game , what am i supposed to do ,
