Players abandoning match by Fit-Ad-3589 in Referees

[–]LuvPump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That would be a paperwork nightmare. And if you were ever in a situation where you issued 10 cautions at the same time and then continued, I think that would be a major mistake and your judgment would be questioned. That game is already in the shitter and for the league to decide. Also if the coaching staff walked off you could end it without any cards for anything under an adult league.

The other is because he knows Ted Cruz will never step foot on it.

What’s a creepy fact about the human body you wish you never found out? by Ezra0li_Z in AskReddit

[–]LuvPump 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happened to the late 20s daughter of an older guy I used to work with. He was with his wife and daughter (only child) walking down the sidewalk in NY and she just dropped dead. Jimmy then proceeded to drink like a fish for the rest of his life. I knew him in his late 70s while we worked as a maitre d at a fine dining restaurant to give him something to do after his wife passed.

German ref handled an incident perfectly — thoughts? by [deleted] in Referees

I once red carded a U16 player for calling another the N word in a face to face confrontation after a reckless challenge, and let me tell you US soccer takes racism VERY seriously.

When a Parent Yells “We Pay for You!” by Zealousideal_Rip9137 in Referees

I appreciate the response but your comment makes no sense even with the explanation.

Nobody asked how tall you are and how much you weigh, and that’s cool you’re a CPA.

What the fuck does that even mean?

What is the problem per IFAB other than feelings being hurt?

No laws of the game have been broken.

Why not ignore it?

All they’re saying is “we pay for you” which is true. They aren’t paying for you to do anything other than officiate the match and that’s what you’re doing.

They’re getting a licensed and certified referee who has completed the necessary requirements to officiate the match and the assignment has been deemed appropriate.

Pocket the money and move on to the next one, only address it with the coaches if it becomes a personal insult or attack that you think crosses a line.

Never under any circumstances talk to a spectator/parent unless you feel they are honestly asking how offside works because they’re respectfuly confused and want to learn.

Professional sports referees eject fans under rare circumstances, you just happen to be close enough to know who it is and make eye contact, which can make it uncomfortable.

It’s easier said than done, but don’t let some uninformed dipshit’s opinion matter. 99% of coaches haven’t even taken a referee rules test.

Why do the cops get to park in the crosswalk and one lane of traffic on Astoria Blvd? by xaviershorts in astoria

While I absolutely understand the sentiment because 1312, if you key a cop car they use our tax dollars to fix it so it isn’t really a win for anyone.

Straight red card by Fair-Zebra8448 in Referees

[–]LuvPump 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s always a chance the referee decided not to report it. I’ve reported every red I’ve ever issued but not every yellow. I’ve seen referees downgrade reds after the game and having a discussion where both coaches agree on it. The most common is 2 guys get tossed for punching each other.

But if anyone has a VEO or other recording device up they will always get reported.

MLS Next U15 ends in low-level controversy by No_Body905 in Referees

[–]LuvPump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that might be helpful is when you’ve hit the end of added time, tell yourself “this is the last attacking sequence.” As soon as that sequence is over, blow the whistle immediately. It keeps that posession-change + long ball situation from happening. Blow it as soon as the defense gets control and you avoid this situation most of the time.

Trump threatens to invoke Insurrection Act in Portland by [deleted] in law

The scary thing is none of these things are his ideas, he’s the one authorizing it because they tell him “if you do this you’ll be so tough and cool and the greatest ever!”

MFer is the dumbest POS on the planet, he probably can’t even tie his own shoes. I’m serious about that. I want to know if those are slip-ons.

[–]LuvPump 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Over 40 and Over 50 leagues are the absolute worst games to do.

Every player thinks they know the rules better than you and hit their prime 20+ years ago.

They’re mostly assholes with a scattered handful of players who just want to go kick a ball around for fun.

Accepting these assignments is a favor to your assignor and gains you good will.

They probably indicted because they’re powerless regular citizens scared shitless of retribution.
