How many of you gather each team in prior to kick-off?
I stopped it for a while, but then found that with a firm understanding of what's expected before the game, match control is MUCH easier!
I don't babble on, but a few simple points that cancel out any later arguments...
- Jewellery - take it off please.
- Negatives out the way first lads, I don't swear at you, so don't swear at me. Every referee's tolerance is different and mine is ZERO tolerance - swear at me and you're off. Similar thing with dissent, I'm on my own today so my view of what's happened isn't going to change, therefore my decision isn't likely to change so let's get on with it.
- If a free-kick goes against you, please don't stop it being taken quickly or ya likely gonna be picking up a daft booking.
- Other than that, talk to me whenever ya like, just don't scream at me. I ain't here against you all, just to make sure it all runs smoothly.
- Enjoy the game!
(After re-reading it, it sounds a bit more brutal than it actually is lol - but you catch my drift!)
