Can't believe my first game to ref- Sheffield Wdnesday Academy V Liverpool Academy, under 14s, and i've got to be fair!!!!!!!!!
LOL No you havent - it doesnt seem to bother half the refs in the Championship In any case you dont want to risk upsetting them scousers do you
Enjoy it matey my eldest son is a qualified Referee and he enjoys it. He gets some abuse , but he has learned to take it. If you get too much hassle then just stop the game and talk to both managers , telling them that you will abandon the match and report them both to the FA.
Congrats and a question... If a defender takes a throw in back to the goalkeeper and it goes into the net without touching anybody, what do you give? Is it a corner? And if the attacker did the same, is it a goal kick? Been bugging me!
easy...peasy corner, in the case of the defender, and a goal kick if it is a player from the same team. Only the the goalkeeper can score direct from a a throw. Trust me I used to be a ref.
