I know... Wrong category and maybe wrong forum.... who knows but what a tragedy. My last USSF post apparently got too personal so maybe I will leave my name out. But for real, 120 dollars with no gear included being paid less than last season..... Oh well.... guess we will continue to be...

Aloha everyone and I hope everyone is well. It's been a long time, I needed to take a very long break after this past season and really hope everyone has had some great matches. The USSF referee department here is a mess and its troubling. I dropped out because I could not get any help at my...

Aloha my fellow referees from The Garden Isle. I just wanted to say Mahalo to everyone here that posts. There have been times when I need some support. I am the assignor, admin, and referee on my tiny rock and sometimes I just need to log in and check out what everyone has to offer. It really...

Sometimes there is a team coached by a coach that really just loves to whine about everything which in turn teaches his players the same behavior. I went into my match today, knowing this was a banger of a game between the said team and another U14 team that has also shown me lots of dissents...

Incident a few weeks back where I made a fairly serious mistake, luckily it did not matter in the end but I knew it and need to learn from it. Attacker one on one with the keeper, he beats the keeper inside the 6, keeper wraps him up a bit, not a full on tackle but enough to throw him of a bit...

Aloha everyone, I know its been a while for me on here. Been busy with the Spring season and none the less there have been no issues. I am the assignor, admin and first and foremost a referee. I have been thinking about the SOTG a lot lately and wanted to post up for some comments. We are a very...

Aloha guys, funny but yet the same old ****. Ran a JV boys game in the middle. This is U16 High School ball. Good game until late. A penalty in the box on Blue, very obvious and unfortunate. The player is insured. This is a blow out game for attacking team and I would not have given PK even...

Aloha to all my fellow referees and happy new year. Its been a bit since I posted, but what a mess I had on my hands this evening. Varsity boys match. I knew it was going to be a banger. As far as island soccer goes, it was Westside versus Eastside. Needless to say, it was going to be a fast...

My three today went like this.....first week of full-on HS soccer. Great referee crew for the 3 matches. One from off island. First game I was center was a beauty, younger lads seem to respect the referee a bit more than them older turds. Seconds game, first game for older boys this season. This...

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...

Preseason U18 game today. New coaches all around for the home team. Apparently, the head coach was a professional baller somewhere like I really care about any of that. Take note, I have two brand new assistant. One is solid, the other needs some work. Tough close no call on a thru ball near top...

My dream came true today, well at least in my mind. About halfway through the first half of my game today, a parent was berating my brand new junior referee over an offsides call in a blow out game. Low and behold, I look over, and am joyed to see who it is. This parent, and both of his kids...

Aloha everyone from across the pond. Great site and mahalo for letting me partake. Da Screamers are the parents, and or coaches, and or previous coaches, and or previous players and or auntie who just like to yell very loudly to kick the ball, push her back, shoot, move, pass, what are you...

Aloha everyone. I am referee admin, assignor, and instructor on a very small island in the state of Hawaii. I am Grade 7 USSF referee and have loved this job since I put the shirt on 5 years ago. I know this may not be the right forum for this but ATM I have issues for Sundays games. I will...
