The worst soccer referee ever?

So here is the thing. I kindly decided to do a favor over the weekend for James Morris (who is apparently the best at everything) and Lee Pollard (the excessive joker). They needed someone to referee a game between their teams at the Morristown Beard School. Now, and I am not being arrogant here, but I probably know more about the game than Sir Alex Ferguson. I am amazing when it comes to soccer trivia. I am the man. Naturally then, I should be a superb referee. However, the general consensus is, I am the worst referee ever. Crazy, no?

Throughout the whole match, I only had one hiccup and that was an offside decision. With there being no linesmen, calling offsides for any referee is a tough task. Nevertheless, I stuck at it and let the game flow. I blew my whistle for a couple of clear cut fouls but that was it. I felt my positioning on the field was excellent as well. Please - anyone who was at that match and reads this blog, please comment on my refereeing - and don't say it was useless!

As well as putting in the refereeing performance of my life, I also attended Sean Davies' surprise birthday party. His birthday is actually in early July but this was the best time to really surprise him - and it worked. I don't know why I went because, as I have said in previous entries, he is a very annoying person. However, if I had not attended, I probably would have got the sack or Sean would be putting mountains of work on me to do. In all honesty though, it was very nice - particularly the food. There were these meatballs, which were out of this world. Very yummy indeed.

Just got back from doing my last Center of Excellence coaching session. I'll miss it as I really had a good bunch of kids - very talented. We'll be doing it again during the summer so hopefully the same (and more) kids come along. We (some of the Jersey United staff) are just having a nice little grill - gonna tuck into some burgers. So I am going to stop writing. Bye bye.
