| Quote: Mass Effect "See, with Leaguefan, when someone posts a thread about the referee having a nightmare, he's in his element. He does truly believe that officials don't have to answer to anyone when they make a mistake. He then proceeds to use that immortal line, "well, if you think that you can do better, why don't you take it up?" ![]()
Oh please do clarify!!!
Perhaps I'm the only one but I can't work out what you are saying?
The line about kleenex for example, what on earth are you on about?
Anyway if my postings cheer you up then fine and dandy.
Anything that saves you being a miserable............................

I don't actually drive at the minute, never needed to with warringtons transport being pretty good, especially trains but im starting this year.
It's decent money really for 2 hours work and the standard at amateur level is poor, you need to drive though really.

No you don't, we have lots of young refs who don't drive and use public transport to get to matches. Not driving is no excuse. |

| Touchjudges do more than call touch or do conversions, it doesnt seem like it because everything else is done via radio communication now.
Offside is a team call, the touchjudge will tell the referee via the radio that player x is offside, it is then the referees decison whether to penalise or have a word on the run, its the same with forward passes and knock ons, the tj will call it to the ref through the radio but the referee might think from his angle that the play was ok and over rule him. Done that myself as an official and was proved right on tape.
On National League games and below (if radios aren't available / working), the TJ only signals an infringment (forward pass, knock on) if the referee gives him eye contact. The only time the flag is used nowadays is for touch / goal and foul play calls (and part of the signal for forward pass)
99 times out of a hundred when a fan calls "gerremonside" its about a player who isnt involved with play so therefore isnt offside, they are only offside if they interfere. It annoys me when I / or any other official try to get a player back and all we hear is "PUT YOUR FLAG UP THEN" I know where I'd like to shove it one day, but the feelings more than mutual  |

Really? I got the impression you had to cover quite an area, with the divisions often being across a region? My mates a soccer ref and he has to go all over the place at amateur level.
If you're allowed to stay in your own town I'd find that a lot easier, i'll drop you a PM |

Thaler talks like one of the chuckle brothers and refs like a chuckle brother.
