I'd offer myself but I'm fat, old, almost blind, deaf and going to Bristol tomorrow. Good luck!

You sound a bit overqualified judging by some of the sunday league refs i've encountered in the past, apart from the legend that is dusty miller
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 12 December, 2009 Author Posted 12 December, 2009 the league took ours away as they say cup games take preference. to be honest we could get a sub to ref but it would be a sham and would rather pay a neutral ref to do it. Any takers?

The same goes for the players http://thefa.com/aspxutility/getintorefereeing/

Whitey Grandad Posted 12 December, 2009 Posted 12 December, 2009 Seriously though, if you do find some mug, sorry ref, to do it, just let the appointments secretary know and he will then be covered.
suewhistle Posted 12 December, 2009 Posted 12 December, 2009 A quick aside on this whole subject. Anybody who has played at _any_ level (men or women's football) will know it is always better to have a qualified, neutral referee than no-one, or some reluctant sub. Some old friends of mine have a son who is not a footballer, but did a course of refereeing when he was at school. Now he's a student at uni the money he gets at weekends for refereeing and being lino up to semi-pro standard beats the money he'd get for a shop or bar job. Worth passing that on to prospective students... exercise, burn the booze off and decent money!

Worth passing that on to prospective students... exercise, burn the booze off and decent money! good luck to him! i quilified when i was 16 but have never reffed a game! it was purely to help me a better player, now after 18 years of playing saturdays and sundays i am 34 and it gets harder against little wipper snappers so i just play on sundays with my mates for the crack and a few beers after, however having played a good standard for years it is essential in all standards there is someone in the middle who can control the game, even more so on a sunday as if there isnt it generaly turns into a boxing match.
suewhistle Posted 12 December, 2009 Posted 12 December, 2009 34? whippersnapper! I'm 20 years older. Mind you, I really only train twice a week here in Italy to avoid the family osteoporosis and keep myself fit as the minutes I get off the bench aren't really worth the effort! Beats the gym though (and it's free!), and pinging a ball about in a training game or leathering it at the end of session shooting practice is still better than the exercise bike..

Good old dusty, apalling ref but you couldn't help but like him he still cycles all the way to bournemouth from lymington to ref on a sunday.
