ADVERSE WEATHER

30/30 RULE

When you see lightning, count the time until you hear thunder. If this time is thirty (30) seconds or less, seek proper shelter. Wait thirty (30) minutes or more after hearing the last thunder before leaving the shelter. If you can not see the lightning, just hearing the thunder is a good back up rule. .......................read complete article

How to Annoy a Referee

 

 


 


20 things you didn't know about the beautiful game

 

 

fitba'

       (fit-baw)  Dialect, chiefly Scot.  ~n.  1. (m) the
       beautiful game.  2. (f) stupid game involving 22
       grown men (and 3 officials of dubious parentage
       and eyesight) kicking a lump of leather around a
       field, often sparking irrational behaviour, bad
       language and blind devotion to a team or player,
       to the detriment of normal marital relations.
       (see fitba' widow
)
 

 

Simulation

This type of play is coming more and more into the modern game. It is up to us as referees to deal with it. The clips will let you see how very important positioning is and how, if you are out of position, you can get it all wrong.

Click HERE, look at the clips and see for yourself
 

 

Does anyone know a referee like this??????
You will need Windows Media Player or Winamp

 

You never know who's watching you!!!!!
