    Being a linesman at youth level

    Sucks!

    This week I was spat at constantly and abused by our opponents. If their poxy forwards had stayed onside, I wouldn't have flagged. Then their coach has the audacity to critisize our players for swearing during the game. He obviously didn't hear his players calling me a '****ing joke' throughout

    The icing on the cake was being told I didn't know the rules by some bloke too fat to stand up during the game. The incident in question was when they had a throw in which was then flicked on to a forward who was at least a yard off. Fat bloke didn't apologise when his own coach told him that 'yes, throw-ins can't be off, but the subsequent touch was clearly off' so I gave him the bird. Cue mass calling towards the ref to have me removed

    FFS, they should try doing it before behaving so rudely!

    It's a thankless task. Unless you favour your son's (or daughter's) team.
    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

      In Germany, unless you are a qualified ref, the linesman can only assist on throw ins. The decision on offside can only be called by the ref.
      Those that hid Anne Frank were breaking the law.
      Those that killed her, were following the law.

          That's crazy. How on earth can they see unless they're in line with the defence? The refs in our league (a pretty big league of 600+ teams) only have to be qualified and registered from U16 upwards. We're U17s, so have a 'proper' ref, but I can't say the quality is any better than one of our dads who used to do it regularily.

            My lad's just moved up from U16's to U18's, i.e as far as the FA is concerned, from the top rung of youth football to the bottom rung of adult football.

            As a result, they used to be given the best refs in youth football but now they get allocated the worst ones in adult football.

              You deserved that after that, you were a disgrace you cost us the game
              I think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty. Robbie Savage 8/11/06

              Are you watching Manchester United? Are you watching Chelsea? This is Liverpool F.C taking over the bloody world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                Were you the fat fella in the chair?

                They still ****ing won 6-2 which just makes matters worse. One utterly untterly UTTERLY annoying cow kept saying 'that's my boy that is' in a gushy/proud voice to her mates every time he scored. I wanted to urinate on her and say 'that's my piss that is'

                Anyone read 'You'll win nothing with kids' by Jim White? If you have anything to do with youth football it's a real laugh. The only downside is the author wanking lyrical to Man U all the time.
