SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Any good refs out there?

I know that we all can have problems with referees from time to time. We need to remember that these guys get paid a small amount of money and rarely have any fun due to the verbal abuse they recieve. I will admit that this is my second year of coaching and I have fallen into the trap of yelling and carrying on. It does not good and shows the ugly side of soccer, lack of sportsmanship. I would like to thank that referee at the Gaffneya nd Clover game on Wednesday. This young man is a previous player and down to earth. He let the game be played and was fair. Thank you for all your work. I certainly would not want the job!!!

OFFICIAL-Scroll up just a little ways to what KRMURR says according to FIFA Law 8 page 2......

I see there is difference between FIFA rules and NFHS rules. High Schools in SC play by NFHS rules. I was quoting from NFHS.

Thats kewl, i wasnt really thinkin we played by FIFA rules.

We dont play by FIFA rules, we play by NFHS rules.

In response to the topic question - Yes, there are at least two excellent refs out there.

Edisto varsity boys played soccer at Hanahan on Tuesday, March 12. I am not sure of the spelling, but I think the two referees were Jeff Broeken and Robert Carrera. These two referees did an excellent job. They were very professional and neutral. They let the teams play but kept the game well-controlled. All of their calls were made with authority, and there was no question as to what their calls were.

I take it you guys must have won the game, so I would probably say the same.

I wanna say good game to both of the refs at the Lr vs. SV tonight(monday). They called a game to where it stayed clean but in the same fact didn't get card happy which I've seen before, where a ref before the game even gets rough are already throwing cards and I'm not dissing any refs cuz I respect that sometimes a card is needed to clear up any speculation that they are going to let this game get out of hand but I want to tip my hat to the refs of tonights game and also to both teams for playing a clean game good job SV and good luck to you
