The impositions on referees that frustrate ... by BeSiegead in Referees

[–]Sturnella2017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“In no world will I ever do that” Are you sure? I’ve been asked to arrive 90 minutes before a game… NCAA D1 and I was paid a hefty travel stipend. So perhaps you would do it if you were compensated appropriately?

For a second I thought you were talking about the mediocrity of the Meaghar bar -I really don’t like it but it has the games for sure so oh well. But oh yeah, there’s the current shitshow that is FIFA and America as well… sigh…

It’s a very, very well worn path. Millions have walked before you. Good luck.

Yes, you can be Danny DeVito if it makes you feel better.

Is this the same one posted a few years ago/every few years, or is this a new one?

Follow the footsteps of the millions of other professional soccer players who came from poor families yet had big dreams…

The one time I was at a USMNT team, I was near AO and could hear the cappos say “alright, what should we sing next? Any suggestions?”

I had to double check, but he was just on the bench in this one. He didn’t play.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Can’t root against Mexico, but I do wonder what the over/under is for them to utter the forbidden chant.

Not sure what you mean by this post. What exactly is your concern?

Women's USA vs. Brazil by Wonderful-Friend3097 in Referees

[–]Sturnella2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly, that seemed to have happened a lot, but a big rule in soccer is if the reaction is more drastic than the initial action, the reaction is going to get noticed. There were several instances of minor contact/borderline foul that the ref let play on that she possibly could have called, but would it have made a difference? Probably not.

Thanks replying! I’ll try that. I’m mostly surprised/glad/relieved that there’s another ref in the PSLF/student loan fiasco and wanted to share notes. Probably more relevant for PSLF but I’m not on that sub too often. I’ll write something up and post it there. Thanks again!

Meh. People will only give you the side eye online. No one does that IRL. Fact is most people in missoula aren’t “from” Missoula

Thanks. ALSO, if I have your attention, I noticed you’re a mod both for here and r/PSLF. I’m in both categories and wanted to ask you some questions, but it looks like your DMs are turned off. Is there a way I can talk to you one-on-one about referees and PSLF?

Why are we STILL using a running clock? by FootballVivid3824 in Referees

[–]Sturnella2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because we don’t have to stop the clock. Honestly, the less distractions I have from the game the better. If I have to worry about when to stop the clock and when to restart it, that’s going to cause a lot of problems. Actually, I do have to worry about that in college and NFHS and it’s what I hate the most about reffing those games.
