sneddon 6 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 test Q #1 a player hits their own Goal Kick into their own net. Goal, retake or what? havent started studying it yet, but my believe is that the ball has to leave the 18 yard box from a goal kick in short, feck knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby 41 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 i remember a ref my pub side got once - a tough crowd from Belfast . he must have been just off one of them courses. had the full kit, and then a refs kitbag with pockets labelled 'red card', 'yellow card', 'whistle' etc was about 18 and his dad drove him and watched from the sidelines - which was a good idea as he almost got lynched a few times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneddon 6 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 If you complete your referee course, are you capable of going all the way and ref in the SPL? yea basically you go to the origonal intro classes for 12 weeks and get an exam then you can start at a younger level, then i think its all about ability and how much time you spend on it, natural progression up the age ranks then eventually amateur and juniors. thin you work towards grades, then when your grade 1 tou can do professional as far as i know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy2212 151 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Id rather be a traffic warden Referees are hated men, in some junior matches they need a police escort of the pitch Good luck, if you make it to the spl give us loads of penalties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando 249 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 A possible question for Sneddon on his future ref test: Do you have a very thick skull to withstand catcalls, boos, cussing, etc?

papaguy51 912 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 A mate of mine (John McCrossan) is quite far up in the refereeing structure just now.
