Good for you Spike. Is that your job or are you doing it for some youth league. I always wondered why so many players are on the field but you can go a whole 90 minutes and not get a score. Also why after the 90 minutes is up the always have like and extra 2 to 5 minutes of playing time what is up with that?
First of all, yes it is my job. I usually ref about two or three games a weekend. People cant score, well because soccer is harder then it looks. People dont give soccer player enough credit, soccer is a really tough sport. The extra time at the end is sometimes because of an injury or something like that. If the ref left his watch going then he remembers to add however long it took to get the game going again.
