Things I didn't expect from the course

• An attacker can be offside whilst off the pitch beyond the goal line
• Whistles have different tones, which is why a ref should have two as a ref on neighbouring pitch may have the same tone
• We don't talk about "pitches" any more, it's the "field of play"
• That so many kids of school age would want to qualify as referees... then I found out it counts toward Duke Of Edinburgh award and some other award too
