I'm a referee.

[shass]

Finished a four week course, and passed an exam.

It's a doddle really. I have concerns that there is a 100% pass rate, what a joke. But the IFA arent the slickest organisation!

There was a wee lad and an older man, and they weren't the brightest, and thats being kind. The instructor had to go through the exam with them and explain a lot of the questions. I mean, i understand why they want everyone to pass, as referees are in short supply, but it's a piece of piss, and the pass rate is a low 75%. If you cant get that then holy shit, you should be failed!

Anyway, I have 6 games of my footballing career left, then i'm hanging up the boots, and getting the whistle out....

[shass]

just out of curiousity, do you all automatically hate me now, and think i'm useless bastard?

[Negative]

Yes.

I want to come to one of your games that you ref just so I can heckle you and call you a useless bastard.

I'm doing my ref badges this summer as well. Decided that they would be easier than getting my coaching badges

In all seriousness, this does alter the status of our relationship somewhat.

Shass is blind, he is a wanker and he gets paid by Man U.

Straight red son.

You need to explain a few rules to some people. Number one Drogba, who has stated:

"It is difficult to take because, yes I stepped on his calf, but I don't think I deserved this red card," said Drogba.

If its any consolation - we thought that before you became a referee.
