I decided a while back to become a football referee. I stopped platying active football two years ago when I had a back op. I have a 7-year-old son who plays mini-soccer.
I mentioned to a few friends that I was thinking of becoming a referee and they all said "you'd be good at that"... is that a good thing? I'm not sure.
After some prevarication I signed up for a course run by a county FA. I finished it last Monday and the exam is tomorrow night. If I pass I will be a Level 9 referee, qualified to refereee "parks football".
So why do it? I want to see if I am any good at it...

You are SO brave to do this, I commend you!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your pasty white legs running the line in the championship.
ReplyDeleteI assume you see yourself as the opposite to Stuart Atwell? Start them early Vs start you late. Let's hope you get off to a more impressive start than Mr A.
