I'm considering going into reffing. Has anyone here done it. Putting yer self in the firing line but it's a form of participation, great exercise and a few quid tax free in the pocket. I like the way they do it in the Midlands League. The same ref could ref 3 or 4 ga.es in a row in same location. |

You might end up in the boot of a Renault Megane or tied to a tree in Sixmilebridge ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

| Make sure you have a thick skin would be my advice. Unbelievable some of the abuse I've seen fired at refs down the years in games that are, ultimately, meaningless. I often think they must be hard up to take that sh*te for the sake of a few quid. Maybe they just don't care and can brush it right off, but it wouldn't be for me. |

Well done and best of luck chief. Tough gig but lots of positives Best refs I have ever dealt with are straight talking, non confrontational. Always explain your decision and that you can only give what you see. Takes the wind out of any arguing! ------------- They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car... |

Did schoolboy reffing for a bit while I was in college. Most of the players and managers were grand but you get the odd dope. Senior reffing would be a tough one though. Be approachable and willing to explain decisions to players. The worst refs you meet as a player are ones who won’t talk to you. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |
