Shirt tucked in

[Sheffields Finest]

Thanks for all your opinions, all noted and accepted

Peoples first impressions are based on how you appear. So if you turn up looking like worzel gummidge then people may (even at grass roots) form a negative opinion of you as a referee

Or you can tuck your shirt in for a good impression

What a pillock! Not you....the observer....where do they dig them up form?

I've been picked up on this too as AR on combined....

Quite right. Not everyone can BE the part, but everbody can least LOOK the part

I always referee with my shirt tucked in. I think I look slovenly if I leave it out and I think that other referees (projecting abdomens or not! ) look slovenly with it tucked out too. I'm with Zara, Myrus and the Capn on this one.

Sort yourselves out you scruffy Yorkshire gits.

I refereed on Sunday and at half time of my match, I went to my bag which was between my pitch and another.

The referee was doing a youth match, at a guess U14, with his shirt untucked, and wearing a cap.

I get it was hot, and sunny, but he looked so "unprofessional". It was bad actually. Looked like he did not want to be there either.

I think your appearance gives good impression to others and projects confidence in you by those watching, players and spectating alike.

I used to wear a cap, but if I'm there for 6-8 hours then I'm going to do everything I can to minimise the effects of the sun. I'd wear if the field has me looking into a low sun in the afternoon too.....or if it looks like rain (I wear glasses). Caps don't look the best but I'd never criticise anybody for wearing one. The benefits they bring outweigh any potential reduced respect.

I'd hate to see how some people wear a suit judging by the hatred of having shirts tucked in on this thread!!
Even Wurzel Gummidge tucked his shirt in!
And I wonder why you never see any professional referees with an untucked shirt......

It matters not one jot whether the shirt is in or out, it does not affect your performance......I promise you, so try it one day.........I dare you!

I untucked it, and had more drag when running, so it does affect my performance.

I'm strictly an ironed shirt tucked in ref. Polished all black boots, ALL black socks, none of that white stuff at the top. Appearance is communication. As soon as any of my kit is tatty, it's in the bin and i'm buying the latest model

No ok! You need to be little slower, your rep for being too close to play goes ahead of you!

Must be you Robbadda, a straight shirt down by your hips allowing free movement of air is more aerodynamically shaped than a ruffled tuck into your shorts!!
Try it, and pick your knuckles up too !!
