Referee Exam

[Andeeh]

Hey Liam.

The beginning like 15-20 questions are very easy. They are all videos of offsides etc - easiest 20 marks on the test.

After this on the video it gets slightly harder.

Oh and here is a tip: If a player hand balls the ball in the penalty/goal area it is a caution (even though it looks like Maradona!) On the course EVERYONE got that wrngo - so remember caution not sending off lol

Then you get onto the question paper. This again starts off very easy, but be warned that some of the questions are worded 'cleverly' (or damn right stupidly) so make sure you read and reread the question!

Hope that helped

haha isnt the handball so ironic after what Henry did yesterday

also if they handballed it twice like Henry did yesterday does he get sent off?

Technically yes. But then it depends what context it was in as I didn't see the game.

As say a foul was comitted, but the referee played advantage (intending to book the offending player), and then the offending player took another players legs out, the ref could send him off in two bookble offences.

The question you set itself is hard, however I would be temped to disallow the goal (well I would, and question about whether to send off or caution the offending player. If Iwas in the posistion I would send Henry off, disallow the goal and give a direct free kick.

Yeh as I said. Most the questions are pretty simple, but some of the odd ones twist your mind lool.

What did you get?

They didnt tell us our score they just took about 5-7 people out of the room who failed and sed the people in this room now have passed, he sed he wont tell us because a pass is a pass wether we got 76 or 99 lol. so i dont no what i got. With the referee kit i found a ref starting pack on umbro-referees.com only 60 quid for a good set of kit. Dunno if that is cheaper than the assosiaction though?
