Strange how things turn out.

13 years ago today my heart was touched by another human being and 4 of my arteries were bypassed as I was in sleepy bliss. Spent today being told I was rubbish at being a referee and I was a disgrace. Now I am editing pictures from my photography gig at my fave team who won 7-0 in the Scottish Cup... Strange how things turn out eh?

4th game down...

Still no idea what I am doing -or if I want to continue to do it!

Cracking mate, you do you and shut the haters/footballers out

I'm 12+ years in and not a clue

Wait a minute... We're supposed to know what we're doing?

I had no idea! Just turn up with a whistle/flag and blow/wave it when it feels right

You can if you want. The team today just felt it was "all about me" and I ruined a game.

Well... I am fabulous, so I won't lose any sleep over it!

"****ing ****. All referees are ****ing ****". I did it to protect your honour guys... I won't have them talking about you like that.

Oh I got that today... we should have bingo cards with all the usual comments!

I got the classic "this game's too big for you ref" on a Sunday morning game. Unfortunately for the player saying it, I'd refereed a live televised FA Cup game the day before, so he was put firmly back in his box. Granted, I wasn't suppose to referee the FA Cup game and was 4th official but the referee went down injured, the player didn't need to know that though

Imagine the player bringing all of us into it.

I'm just sat in my house somewhere minding my own business and still catching dissent.

Cheers for sending him off.

All of your reputations are known far and wide. Good effort lads!

I was Shrödinger’s Ref today by simultaneously being the worst match official in the world, and also the best. This may or may not have been in an Under 13 six a side tournament final, decided by a penalty after a defender punched the ball away at a corner.

(something witty about being in the box)

 

[OnlyUseMeWhistle]

I was blamed by a manager today running the line in tier 3 because I didn’t overrule the referee on a supposed foul in the penalty box 40 yards away

You can never win!
