League/Club Rules and Exceptions

 

 

4 D's
Obvious goalscoring opportunity

          1) Number of Defenders
          2) Distance to goal
          3) Distance to ball
          4) Direction of play
There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts:

                       what we do,
                       how we look,
                       what we say, and
                       how we say it.

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
