Hi , pretty much new on here and I have had a look through a mixture of threads and would someone kindly translate the abbreviations I am coming across from time to time please ?. It must be referee talk / slang but I am not sure what some mean lol.

well what I can think of:

DOGSO - Denial of Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity
OFFINABUS - Offensive, Insulting or Abusive language or behaviour
Walking a player - sending them off
IMO - In My Opinion
 
CFA - County Football Association
CAR/NAR - Club/Neutral Assistant Referee
USB - Unsporting Behaviour
FOP - Field of Play

OP - Opening Post

To name a few...
 
Can we keep the posts on topic and refrain from school boy name calling.

Thanks.
