Hi all,
So recently I have decided to pick up the whistle again after around five years out - I quit after receiving a death threat from a charming individual but reached multiple dead ends.
Having played in the last five years and seeing matches getting postponed or continued with an "unofficial" ref, I decided to take it up again.
I have officiated on a couple of games and on the line. While I've enjoyed it, I have found it challenging.
Out of curiosity, any tips to get back into the swing of things and deal with the "rustiness"? Communication seems to be a big one - especially trying to explain decisions and have the one-to-one chats?
Cheers in advance.
