a ref I was watching the other week had a smart reply ...
'ref, how much you getting paid for this?!'
'Enough to run my car for a fortnight, thanks'
nice little retort for a Sunday morning I thought
in the first scenario you explained - I wouldn't be too fussed on what happened, but if it was a contested drop then I don't think he can?
in the second scenario - I wouldn't be giving the keeper the time of day personally, I simple 'no it wasn't keeper' would do - depending if he came over to...
I ran the line once for my mates team (was over there watching, he asked me too lol) - didn't tell anyone I was a referee etc ...
at the end of the game the ref came over and said thank you and 'joked' I should take up the whistle ... when I told him I had and i was he said it made sense! lol...
If they don't want top pay the costs for extra shirts then they can stay at Sunday league level and wear their black kit .. no problem?
and to be fair - the leagues that will start requiring coloured shirts also have referees that want to go further in the career - so its a win double.
just to settle your worries ... I have the adidas boots for my Sundays and some lines - and I am going to be purchasing the Nike's in SG for those muddy days.
good luck
Oldest Professional Sports Stadium?
maybe football ol' chum ... maybe football ... I believe a certain Australian ground slightly pips your beloved to the crown though
Hmmm ... famous people you say ...
I refereed Tommy Walsh's son (Ground Force) - my Dad also threatened to knock him out after he was a little unkind towards me (was only 14 at the time)
Refereed Jimmy Bullard in a charity game - quality bloke
Met Bill Nighy crossing the road in London, same...
Best Ground - Victoria Road (Dagenham & Redbridge FC)
Best Team - Arsenal U14's (was in a Premier League Youth Tournament) the skill those young lads have, second to none! (and Ljunberg and Henry were there)
Played at Upton Park too ... great experience
