Does he think he's the dogs gonads at refereeing as well as radio presenting ? . In truth is he as entirely annoying and constantly lacking in any quality input as he is at radio presenting? . I actually have run into Ed Dawes, just the once, and quite recently. Not reffing though. I played football with him, I think it was 7 or 9 aside. On his team. I don't remember much about him, except he missed an absolute sitter quite far into the game. It made me feel much better about my shooting, that's for sure!

What gives you the greatest pleasure - is it awarding a penalty or sending someone off? Q. how long into the game is it before you decide who is going to win? Q. Do you agree that referees should be armed with tasers? Apologies, I missed this post. If it's not a joke question, I would say a deserved red card, or a great spot on a tackle for a penalty are the greatest pleasures, I couldn't pick one. Those aside, an advantage for a foul, that leads to a goal trumps both of them. I do think we should be armed with tasers, it would be a hell of a lot easier.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Understand the level you are officiating is not affected, but out of interest, what do you think of VAR ? Just in case you 've the chance to discuss with other refs, what do they think ? Refs are an integral part of the game, they make mistakes just like players, managers, owners. It's ruining the game, no need for it. That's what i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 35 minutes ago, Wazztie16 said: Personally, and based on what you've written, it was very harsh imo. That sort of thing would've been covered in my very brief pre match to the assistants (offsides, ball in and out of play, don't worry about fouls - too many issues there, and I may overrule you, its not personal, I just might feel I've got a better angle). That's all at the age I am anyway, no idea as a teenager as I started reffing in my late 20's. In your situation, the referee would've been better asking for a change of assistant, and asking you to go away from the game to avoid any more conflict. I presume you don't know how experienced this referee was? If only about 15, not likely to be very experienced as you can't start until you're 14. I don't know his exact age, but he was young. He seemed to be their ref for every home game from what we'd heard. Not unusual at that level, every home game we had the same ref Andrew, who was possibly the most unfit man I've ever seen, so frequently got pelters from the opposition.

It's ruining the game, no need for it. That's what i think. VAR should never have been implemented in my opinion, but I can see why it has been. Too many managers and fans moaning about referees making mistakes. It's here to stay, with the cost involved in setting it up in each stadium, so we need to get used to it. I've not really discussed it much with other refs to be brutally honest, from what I have discussed, the majority aren't keen on it either, with the odd exception. For me, football needs the luck of the referee on field decision, if a decision takes 3 goes and 4 minutes to work out through VAR then VAR isn't doing the job it should be. I think there should be a 30 second time limit for VAR decisions, and if it can't be cleared up in that time, the original on field decision stands. I can't see that happening though.

Some teams do have the same ref for their home games, they put them through the course on the basis they'll have a ref every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrator : Over the years, a huge number of theological man-hours have been spent debating the question: "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" To answer it, we need information. Firstly, angels don't dance. It's one of the distinguishing characteristics that marks an angel. So, none. [the scene shows Aziraphale dancing the gavotte with a group of men, wearing the goofiest smile possible to man or humanoid] Narrator : At least, nearly none. Aziraphale had learned a dance called the "gavotte" in a discreet gentlemen's club in Portland Place in the late 1880s. After a while, he had become fairly good at it, and was quite put out when, some decades later, the gavotte went out of style for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 What level do you have to referee at to get the top secret masonic indoctrination? Is it true the "officiating breifing on clubs to be dicked over this round of matches" always has a Nottingham post mark? Is the power a thirll? Do you particually enjoy sending certain bamford players off when they ligit deserve it? How often do linsemen bung up the offside flag because they think they messed up? Do refereees ever change their minds when players go "oh but ref...!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Sadly - this is what I thought would happen to this thread, i think most just don’t want to understand and leave the rose tinted glasses on...... fair play to the OP - I’m not bothering anymore with any reffing stuff on here.
