We all think we have the right to criticise a referee or assistant for their decisions on a matchday.
here's your chance to see if you really do know best

6 out of 12 League 1 Ref
-
That's really good, which is more than can be said about my score.
-
8 out of 12
-
I got 8/12
-
8 for me as well.
-
And if I got 1 right, I'd still claim the right to call the parentage of the referee into question.
-
and I thought I knew it all.....4/12

The Doc

Shame their are no answers. Wasn't sure about the penalty ones. I always thought a player couldn't hit a rebound from the post or cross bar if he was the initial taker.
-
4
-
Oh dear i got 4.
-
7, where are the answers?!?
-
8/12.
-
Embarrassed I only got 5 :-[
-
8/12. However, I reffed an under 10s game of the team i used to coach and can quite easily say it was the worst refereeing performance ever . At one point I forgot I had the whistle. After awarding my team a free kick for a blatant foul I was called a cheat (despite it being in the last five minutes, being 7-1 down and the fact i'd awarded them a penalty earlier on) by one of the dad's. Instead of turning the other cheek I left the field of play to remonstrate with the fat fecker. Never again would I do that job. Playing the game is a damn sight easier than reffing and respect to anyone who refs at amateur level as I can't for the life of me see how any enjoyment can be gained. I was one of the very few coaches at youth level who had a policy of subbing any of the kids who showed dissent to refs, but some of the abuse I witnessed from opposition players and parents was a disgrace.

He can't but a team mate can. The answer to that one was not allowed to head it.

It's all so easy to blame the referee and its an easy get out for most premiership managers.
It has become one of my pet hates. for example The now infamous match between Chelsea and Man ure with Mark Clattenberg as ref. RDM spent his entire interview criticising the ref about decision he has a split second to make. He does this after watching half a dozen slow mentions from about half a dozen different angles.
At no stage did he blame Gary Cahill for making the split second decision to mark the space and try to cut out the cross instead of RVP a decision that cost them a goal. At no stage did he blame Ivanevic for deliberate fouling Young knowing that there would be only one outcome.
Its getting beyond a joke time to stop blaming the ref and get on with the game
-
got 7 league 1 ref, would like to know the answers though
-
7
proves nothing though - very unlikely scenarios.
-
5/12.
Premier League referees get top wages. We should therefore get top performances from them.
We don't, usually.
-
9/12 Championship ref
-
6 for me
-
6 out of 12. Wish I knew what the correct answers are.

Agree. Why admit that you have made mistakes or maybe are not good enough, when you take the easy way out and blame someone else. I must admit that it is a side of the game that I don't like and I much prefer the way officials are treated in sports such as rugby and cricket. I don't think the situation in football is helped by the witch hunts that often take place after games in the Sky studio where every decision is pored over and criticised by people who have the advantage of seeing the incident from a number of camera angles and in slow motion.
-
11. See you in the Premier League soon gentlemen.
-
6/10
I ran the line at my sons game yesterday first time I've don't it for a few years and it real makes you appreciate the difficulty that officials face when making decisions. These lads are only 12/13 so I can't begin to imagine having to keep up with 22 premier lge players.
I flagged for offside when the opposition scored what would've made it 6-3 and got a lot of stick of their manager, the ref didn't give him a talking too and added that he thought it to be offside and my flag confirmed it. I hope my next turn with the flag is a good way off
-
9/12 gutted
Used to be a ref a few years back Midland Combination League, don't think i could or would do it now though.
Ran the line for the lads team a few times ........"You should F***ing keep up with play linesman" etc etc and that was just the mom's........
-
Nine.
-
10/12 and I'm fecked if I can find out which two I got wrong.
-
8 as well
-
You scored 11 out of 12

Itching to know what I got wrong!

Whyever can't you head a penalty, if you really want to?
-
Because the referee awards a Penalty Kick i presume

a) it is not playing within the spirit of the laws of the game.
b) it may be construed as dangerous play (to the taker)
c) its called a penalty kick
-
Yes especially if it is Phil Dowd
-
d) You'd have no chance of scoring, even with me in goal.
-
Beat me to it mr-villa
-
Ah, so it's just a question of terminology, is it?
I don't see why it could be considered foul play.
And it would be a hell of a goal if it went in.

the attempt alone would be hilarious, I'm imagining a run up and then a klinsman-esque dive at the ball...

Well as you have virtually got them all, post your answers and we can all compare.
-
I got 4 then 7. Totally ashamed, although second time round I read the questions and answers far more carefully than first time.
-
Jesus I'm too embarrassed to say
-
7
-
5, thats me taking Phil Dowds job then.
-
5/12 for me
-
According to twitter the offside one is catching people out.
-
5/12. And I only got two questions wrong on my referee's exam 15 years ago!!!
-
5/12 ouch.
-
3 out of 12. :-[
League 2 referee - rather generous IMO.
-
I'm amazed there isn't a man u version...when a man united player gets touched on the halfway line, do you a give a pen, send two players off from the other team one for touching the player and one for saying that's not a foul. Send the manager to the stand or abandon the game giving the other team a fifteen goal win, or all of the above
-
Sorry still a bit bitter
-
According to twitter the offside one is catching people out.
Which one, the first?
-
1. Offside as the attacker has gained an advantage by standing in an offside position
2. The referee chooses the end
3. Ask the team with 11 players to nominate two players who will not take part in the penalty shootout
4. The referee, assistant referees and players
5. Dismiss the player, allowing him to be replaced by a substitute in the starting line-up
6. None of the above
7. Substitution
8. Dismiss the offending player and award a penalty kick as the incident took place in the penalty area
9. Retake the free kick
10. Offside in the centre of the pitch
11. Head the ball
12. 6 players
Not sure which one of those is wrong, think it maybe the retake the free kick one (9) because the ball has to leave the area, but it might be awarded as a corner kick. Going to fumble through again and see which one it is..

If it is the 1st one, then the rule is that when the striker played the ball he was offside, however I'm sure Davevillain or any other referee's will tell me thats wrong

I got 8/12, yet had different answers to 2, 5, 9, only so I think it might be one of the others we both got "right"

See question 8 confuses me, I thought spitting was indirect free kick? Its definitely a red card offence..

My son (15) just got 12/12.
He did become a qualified ref 2 weeks ago.

Doesn't say.

Nine.

That's what I thought, but as you say - the question wasn't worded very well. I was going to go retake, but then remember reading somewhere back in the day that it counts as a corner.
I differ from you in 2, 10 and 12. And following 60 seconds of research, you have those correct.
So it's definitely number nine that is wrong.

League 2 referee - rather generous IMO.
Same here.
-
5. And I've just gone blind and taken a call off my mother to give me some alarming news about my conception.
-
2 out of 12. I'd like to know which ones I've got right.
-
I've just gone back a page or 2 and discovered some answers. All I can say is, gosh, I never knew home or away was so important. Now I do - I change my answers to opposite the ones I got wrong.
But I still think the others were well offside.

The correct answer to 9 is corner kick..Tho number 2 is a bit confusing, the answer they are looking for is the ref chooses ends, which at local level he would do, but at pro level, they toss to choose ends and then toss again to see who goes first..Thats why in the Euros, there were 2 coin tosses prior to any penalty shoot outs.

The offside one is easy :-)

Gained an advantage by being in an offside position. Had the initial shot gone in, its a goal, but once it came back of the goalkeeper, or last defender he is penalised for gaining an advantage.. The same as if the ball had rebounded from the goal.

Disappointing 6/12.
