Character, Attitude and Control 2/28/2022Jeremy of Sacramento, California USA asks...I was watching some rugby referee clips and the level of respect they get from players is so great compared to soccer. If any of you are aware of this difference, do you think there's anything that a soccer referee could utilize from rugby referees? ...
Read The Full Q & A Character, Attitude and Control 1/26/2022Mark of Eugene, Oregon US asks...I have a style of refereeing very different from almost everyone I see and work with. I talk a lot during the match. Like, any contentious challenge where I don't call a foul, I immediately call out why I'm not calling a foul. If a ball hits an arm a...
Read The Full Q & A Character, Attitude and Control 12/11/2021Tony of Whitehorse, Yukon Canada asks...In the MLS Cup Final, in the last seconds when Portland scored there was a foul.

Read The Full Q & A Character, Attitude and Control 11/1/2021Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...Not so much a question, as a bit of fun.
I was reffing the local 30+ women's rec league on Sunday and the Neon team's keeper was yelling at her team before a corner kick.

Read The Full Q & A Character, Attitude and Control 3/25/2021gary of portland, Oregon Unites States asks...Question regarding game management: Why should you ever "let the players play" if it's not really possible to lose control of a match by calling it too tightly, only if you call it too loosely?
In my years as a referee, the matches I have ...
Read The Full Q & A Character, Attitude and Control 11/5/2020Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...Grabbing and holding - as Divyesh of Downside (I grew up not too far from there) mentions happens a lot at set pieces.
And Ref MCHUGH mentioned that they are called as fouls elsewhere (i.e. in general play) on the pitch - and I think why t...
Read The Full Q & A Other 10/17/2019Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...Ref McHugh says: 'If the explanation was not acceptable I would request not to work with the CR ever again. A referee would soon run out of assistants based on this approach.'
I have seen very close to the referee described by the original p...
Read The Full Q & A Mechanics 2/16/2019Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...I agree the wait and see approach is very important, however, I worry that Football is going down the path of our local Rugby League, where rarely a 'try' is awarded without going to check with their equiv of VAR.
While more correct outcomes...
Read The Full Q & A Character, Attitude and Control 2/13/2019jake of las vegas, nv usa asks...what is the best way to help a referee who just... isn't very good? there is a referee in a local league who does a lot of AR matches and doesn't really do CR, i guess due to nerves. the league wants to get her experience so the past few weekends the...
