I would like the head chief admins CEOs of US Soccer to get their **** together and actually support the referee more! There I said it......and this goes true worldwide I am sure. Id like these guys and gals to lose their titles, work their jobs, don't include all their credentials in their...

I think it has been lost and this caution can and will come into play more often than not.

Agreed Sheff

I once was offered some gift cards for our volunteer league here which I took part in for 6 years. Never saw one. I spent over 300 of my own earnings as a referee and assignor here to buy the new recruits some nice yellow shirts this year. In the states we spend money to become certified as well...

Great advice everyone. And James spot on words of wisdom and I agree the best experience we could ever get it is a game experience. The more games the newer referees run the more confident they will become. The laws of the game allow for many judgement calls of what should actually happen during...

When are the tickets up for sale because my daughter and I are going! Viva la France!.....well i dont really care for the french but will make the most of it.......

I have a referee that does HS and youth rec league games here, he just started out two years ago and has slowly eased himself into things here. BTW great advice on taking things slow. He is 5 foot 5 and probably around 140 pounds and he does very well. Every referee has a different makeup...

HAHA Sheffields. I am agreeing with your observation. If he had not botched the penalty, which if he was in the position he should have seen the defender touch the ball or at the very least had a talking over with his AR, the game may have been different. And to award a corner kick when a goal...

Wow! Great dialogue and thanks for posting the full video, What a referee! And what a goalkeeper! I like the fact that he stepped in so quickly, the red was shownd no more than 5 plus seconds after dumb challenge, and he shielded the player that was going to take the heat for this and then...

These 4 fouls were for pushing within a 15 minute time period and the third one was in the box and I awarded a penalty kick which was scored. This player is notorious for being very aggressive and pushing. They either need to stop pushing constantly or they will receive the cards. I think the...

I would have carded that little **** and sent him packing, wrote my game report and hopefully moved on. This is the stuff that gets me boiling and the NUMBER 1 reason why the world loses referees. I do not tolerate any sort of referee abuse and if anyone told me that, it would be a straight red...

Soon as the F bomb was dropped would have been instant send off for me.

I can supply a substandard tent and a beach to sleep on

Shef Id personally work overtime to fly his okole out here to run some lines, drink some cold coconuts, frolick on the beaches and wear out your cards.....lol. And yes it is! And i also may be able to supply some fresh poke but let me warn you, some of these Hawaiian fans are quite large and...

Red for a push in the box? Whether on the attacker or his own teammate, that sounds quite extreme to me!

This is such a great post and thanks so much for sharing it. I have forwarded this post to my fellow referees overseas here. And I know I will not shock any of you at all that but the same thing is happening here, minus the most serious assaults that you have mentioned but the dissent and...

Hats off my friend and JOB well done! And great advice from everyone above. You handled yourself brilliantly and I would hire you in a hot minute but we pay in poke and poi if that is ok with you? Cheers, well done.

Aloha guys. I have not checked in a bit but am going to go through some threads now. This is the topic that has been up for me. I ran a preseason game I gave a yellow for this. The next regular season game I did, the same thing happened but on a different player, but on the same team. Now just...

I would fire the red off immediately if I heard that on the pitch directed towards me. Aloha also means goodbye........

Yes...there is a good chance I posted this a few hours after match having had a couple of Kona wheat ales.....and great advice Myrus on the compliment if they start behaving.
