We're supposed to know about football? Damn!

Ooops...re: my earlier post about the Gkick - as an AR of course you have to go with the ball. I posted as a referee!

Only just managed to finish watching the CCM game, so they were, in my world, 1-0 down for 24 hours! Once Cunningham equalised I could only see one winner, and Hernadez ?!?!?!?!? WOW! (The wife promised me a trip down for a play off game - although now she has shifted to a 'semi-final'...

Ummmm where to start? Very difficult to answer for you as everyone has their own preferences. For me, yes, I can get too close to the action. I don't get too hung up on the ball position as that's not necessarily where the 'action' (foul) is. I try and keep about 10-15 yards from the action...

Does it really matter what colour we wear? As long as it is easily distinguishable from both teams and their GKs? 'I'm wearing black, the other 22 people on the FOP have to change to suit' doesn't wash with me sorry. I am there to facilitate a game of football, we are there for the players...

OK, I follow as has been said earlier - USB. Now, this is where I feel we need more clarification. To 'circumvent' means to 'go around' or 'get around' the laws of the game, which to my mind means, doing something outside the LOTG in order to avoid penalty or gain advantage. A defender, who...

Oh, was I showing my age there? Damn :rolleyes: Taking the mick like that I can't disgaree would be USB.

LMAO!!!!!!! Up and down

Usually grab them during the warm up - check shin pads jewellery etc, "Just make sure you have them/remove it or you don;t start the game fella!" cos they are never ready by then!

I have a problem with this as well...... is he 'circumventing' the Laws, or using them to his advantage? Sure, a keeper who has held the ball in his hands for 6secs, tosses it to a teammates head, and catches the rebound, holds it for 6secs again, and bounces it off his mates head again is...

Still got mine, bit tight round the middle but goes in the bag on occasion. We have a team who play in yellow/blue stripes, and a team in red/black stripes! Damn, green it is then! (Sorry, we should call it Jade)

Hey there! Yep, WaiBOP run the finances a bit differently ot moist NZ Federations - in that we get a smaller match fee, but equipment provided - the Yellow, Black, and Red shirts are provided, as are shorts, socks, training tops, bench jackets at half price, and Federation shirts for...

Only jewellery we are allowed is a watch (or two watches). Mine comes off before I leave home.

....or perhaps a 45 year old referee who has pre-hydrated too much????

lol...have a yellow for the pun!

Blimey - I go fishing for a couple of hours and come back to this! Frank, apologies if I upset or offended, I was talking about holding in the specific Reading incident and similar attacking movement situations when attacker has passed defender and defender grabs. In this case, the attacker is...

If you pop down to a scuba diving or swimming store, there are ankle weights available. I have a couple of pairs for when I'm on scuba, one set wraps 1kg round each ankle, and one 750gm.

Unfortunately, it's not unusual to hear that about Refsworld - you have to keep badgering him I'm afraid.

Depends how obvious and visible he is I guess. Done it myself when miles from the changing rooms but usually find a tree to hide behind.

I was under the impression that Holding an Opponent is a foul, if I see someone holding a shirt, an arm or whatever of an opponent I look for an advantage, if none, then it's a foul. A slight tug, and I might not even call advantage but the offender would know I saw it. If holding an opponents...
