We have four match officials who cannot make up their mind or decide what the correct decision is when a beachball (thrown on the pitch by a Liverpool lad) gets in the way of a shot by Darren Bent, which ends up with the correct ball ending up in the net and the beachball ending up in the other direc- tion. I really felt for Reina in the Liverpool goal who never really had a chance ei- ther way of stopping the goal. I am so surprised that not many players reacted to the fact that the beachball was an outside agent and that the correct decision should have been a DROPPED BALL (Mr Referee) and not a goal. Please note. Even Rafa Benitez was amazingly calm considering the outcome. Once again, it is regrettable that I have some very sad news to inform you all. Whilst it will not mean much for members this side of the water, but for mem- bers and colleagues who travelled on a regular basis to and from Belgium, we have been advised of the death of Mia Van Peborgh (the good lady wife of Walter - Presi- dent of Soleo Referees Society). Mia was always a welcoming person whenever we visited Belgium and was on the dance floor whilst our dear friend Walter was busy socialising at the bar. We first met Mia and Walter in May 1983 when Manchester United played Brighton at the Old Wembley Stadium and after Alan Watson had ar- ranged the first trip with twelve of us in a mini-bus bound for Lier on the old Town- send Thoresen boats from Dover to Zeebrugge. Mia was an excellent helper when- ever we visited, and it is very sad that we will no longer see her on our future trips to Belgium. We have sent a condolence card to Walter from all of us at Woking and we also have extended our sympathies to Mia‘s daughter Agnes, her husband Willy and and Agnes‘s daughter Kelly. May Mia rest in peace. On a more cheerful note, I thought the talk by Gavin Ward on Serious Foul Play was excellent in early October, and I hope that everybody who attended en- joyed the evening as much as I did. Thank you once again Gavin for an excellent presentation. On November 2nd, our Guest Speakers will be Martin Bodenham and Gary Willard who are coming up from East Sussex (a double act) whose topic for the evening will be Assessing and Coaching at Football League, Panel and Con- tributory League level. For those who remember last season when these two gen- tlemen visited Woking, they both gave us a great evening with their respective pres- entations. Martin himself has made history, being the only ex-Premier League Refe- ree to become a First Class Cricket Umpire and being the first person to officiate at the top domestic levels of both football and cricket. I am convinced that we will all be enthralled by their visit to Woking. Just going back to Peter Adams‘ funeral last month, it is the first time that I have seen so many old faces throughout the County attending for a long time. It was like a who‘s who and proves how much the Man was respected. The Cremato- rium was absolutely packed to the hilt, and there were a lot of attendees standing to get everybody in. 2 The Warbler The Magazine of the Woking Referees‘ Society Dave and I attended on behalf of the Society as well as Mick Lawrence who attended on behalf of Westfield F.C. Well done Alan Watson on attaining your 30 year award and richly deserved it is. Alan, over the years has served the Society well, as well as running the Chairman‘s Cup and trips to Belgium. In this issue, will be an advert from our Editor, Mac, with regard to the Annual Christmas Dinner which this year is on Saturday, 9th January 2010 at The Worplesdon Place Hotel (opposite Worplesdon Phoenix F.C. ground). This Dinner (now in its fourth year), has become more and more popular yearly, and Mac and his good lady wife, Sue, do a sterling job in or- ganising this event. Please kindly contact them to secure your places accord- ingly. We even have our own function room for the evening which keeps it more exclusive for Woking Referees Society. On December 7th, we will be having our Christmas Meeting and as well as our Guest Speaker, Steve Tomlinson, our Patron will be arranging, as per normal, for nibbles and sandwiches, etc, to be available on the evening as well as our array of Christmas Raffle Prizes. If you wish to donate anything towards the raffle at all, please contact either Bryan or myself. We hope that the season is going well for you, and as far as I am concerned, it is nice to be back again on the field of play at last. I do hope to see you all at our next Society Meeting on 2nd Novem- ber and in the meantime keep up the good whistling !!! With my best wishes to you all. Roy Woking Referees Society Academy A meeting of the Woking Referee‘s Society Academy will take place on Monday 2nd November 2009 commencing at 7.15 at Meadow Sports Football Club Loop Road Playing Fields, Loop Road, Kingfield, Woking, Surrey, GU22 9BQ Ricky Green – Youth Development Officer 39 Mowbray Avenue, Byfleet, Surrey, KT14 7PF Mob – 07793 205023 3 The Warbler The Magazine of the Woking Referees‘ Society Well, here we are 6 games into the season and already I‘ve shown more red cards than I did for the whole of last season. These have included 2 for offensive lan- guage (at me) and one for a head butt (not at me—but a young lad who now needs a new tooth) . I‘ve also had to issue 4 yellows for descent including to a so called ―coach‖ .( No I didn‘t show him a card– just reported him). Add to this a word to the managers about the conduct of the spectators in 2 games (sarcastic rather than of- fensive language) And this is the U17s and 18s. So much for the Respect cam- paign. I‘m not sure how the other refs are getting on in a certain Surrey League but at this rate they are going to either run out of players through suspension or run out of referees who are no longer prepared to put up with rude, mouthy, totally disre- spectful, yobs, whose parents stand on the sideline saying ―hush dear‖ when they spout forth a string of obscenities. - One does have certain amount of sympathy for Mr Bussaca (see page 27) Right—that‘s got that off my chest. The news this month has all been around Fergie‘s ridiculous comments regarding the fitness of Alan Wiley, his half hearted apology and then storming out of a press conference when a reporter had the gall to question his disgraceful treatment of one of our best referees. ―I don‘t take criticism personally‖ he stated later. Is that why he refuses to speak to the BBC? Strange bloke. The other news of course was the debate over the ―outside interference ― AKA a red beach ball in the Liverpool v Sunderland match. Both Jeff Winter and Dermot Galla- gher admitted that the goal should have been disallowed and a drop ball awarded. What I found rather illuminating though was the comments by both managers as quoted in the Times— It's a very technical question, but it could be because it could have been a goal any- way," Benitez said. "In this case, I think it should be a goal." "I thought it was a deflection off a player," Bruce said.

  • In the Eye of the Storm: the Referees' Perspective
    In the eye of the storm: the referees' perspective Howard Webb Who would want to swap places with referee Howard Webb in a potential Premier League title-decider between Manchester United and Chelsea? After the championship race was blown open amid a spate of officiating errors in games involving the title contenders, Webb faces an unenviable task at Old Trafford, with players, managers, fans and pundits ready to pounce on any perceived mistake. The last Premier League meeting between the two sides led to United manager Sir Alex Ferguson incurring a five-match touchline ban for his criticism of referee Martin Atkinson's performance in Chelsea's 2-1 victory. And Ferguson has already ramped up the pressure on Webb by claiming Chelsea benefited from "great decisions" in their 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. So how do referees prepare for such monumental encounters? How do they keep their heads while all around them are losing theirs? And how do they deal with the inevitable criticism which follows? We asked former Premier League referees Alan Wiley, Jeff Winter and David Elleray, who took charge of many crunch matches during their long careers in the top flight, to provide a window on to the world of an official on the day of a big game, and assess the challenges facing Webb and his assistants on Sunday. PRE-MATCH PREPARATION Winter: "In the week before a game, referees would talk to each other. I would look at which ref did the reverse fixture earlier in the season and ask them: 'Were there any problems?' "A ref does have it in back of his mind how important the game is and he will, just like the teams, have a game plan.

Furthermore, several East European national associations have declared their intention to bid to host EURO 2012. And as the UEFA Cup moves into its final stages, Romanian, Russian and Ukrainian clubs are still in the running in the round of 16. On the field and behind the scenes, football-related activities are booming in Eastern Europe, and at the same time, huge efforts are being made to improve football infrastructure, including in terms of stadium renovation and construction. This vigour is unquestionably a happy phenomenon for European football as a whole. The fact that these associations are keen to and in a position to successfully organise UEFA events, be they tournaments or congresses, shows the soundness and effectiveness of the policy introduced by UEFA in the early 1990s, following the political upheaval in Eastern Europe, when UEFA decided to initiate assistance programmes to help the new football associations born out of that upheaval to fit into and achieve Western standards.

Tottenham had been one of the main beneficiaries of Leeds United‟s financial collapse of the previous decade, signing a number of former Elland Roaders during the fire sales that had been necessary to ensure the club‟s survival: Paul Robinson, Robbie Keane, Aaron Lennon and teenage starlet Danny Rose. Jonathan Woodgate had also arrived in North London after stays in Newcastle, Madrid and Middlesbrough. The pairing of the two clubs brought memories and inevitable thoughts of „what might have been‟ for United fans, and Leeds manager Simon Grayson acknowledged as much in the days leading up to the clash. “I think, regardless of what‟s in the opposition squad, there‟s a sadness of what‟s happened to the club and the decline...

Treaty United Sunday, 28 March 2021 Carlisle Grounds Kick off 3.00pm CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME Welcome to the 2021 season! If ever we have started football in a season where life as we knew it seems a distant memory, it is this year! There is no doubt missing sport and in our case football, has highlighted the many things society has taken for granted. The sense of community, being part of community and all the benefits, it makes to all of us personally have indeed affected us all. We must acknowledge the people and families who have suffered greatly, both nationally and locally as a result of the pandemic we are currently battling. I would appeal to all and everyone to play your part to continue doing what is necessary to protect the more vulnerable in our community, after all it is someone’s mother, father, son, daughter we are helping. I also think it is appropriate to acknowledge all the front-line workers of all Industries, Trades and Professions in putting us ahead of themselves at this time at considerable risk to them and their families for the greater cause. We are delighted to be allowed resume activity at this time and provide some normality and indeed hope in the weeks and months ahead. We must thank all our volunteers, sponsors, supporters etc. for all support and work to enable us to get through 2020 and able to compete again this coming season. Well done to Gary Cronin and his team in continually improving the squad this season and hope they can achieve their goals in what is the most competitive league for many years.

  • UEFA"Direct #181 (31.10.2018)
    No. 181 No.181 • November/December • 2018 No.181 ANYONE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Grassroots football celebrated throughout Europe EDITORIAL Theodore Theodoridis UEFA General Secretary INNOVATION THROUGH CONSULTATION he first few months of the 2018/19 season have brought excitement and innovation for UEFA and European football: a new competition, new technology, and new T tournament hosts. The UEFA Nations League has got off to a thrilling start; the Executive Committee has decided to introduce video assistant referees (VAR) in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League; and Germany has been selected to host the UEFA EURO 2024. UEFA is not in the business of making changes without good reason or by diktat. All these initiatives are the result of dialogue and consultation, and all have the same end goal: the continued success and further development of European football. UEFA, its member associations, and key stakeholders in the European Club Association and the European Leagues are working together for the good of the game. Football is a team game and UEFA is a team player. Consultation underpinned the creation of the UEFA Nations League, which kicked off in September. Turkey’s ecstatic celebrations after Emre Akbaba’s late double saw them come back from 2-0 down to win against Sweden; Kosovo’s joy at their first competitive match win, against the Faroe Islands; and Spain’s victories over England and Croatia after a disappointing World Cup showed how much this competition already means to players. Just as the UEFA Nations League was only introduced after extensive research and debate, UEFA has been careful not to rush the introduction of video assistant referees.

With football getting ever faster and the players ever fitter, it sometimes seems the men in black face a mission impossible. For some players it has become almost second nature to use hands and arms to pull their opponent’s shirt, push them or hold them back, to the point where the culprits seem genuinely surprised when they are penalised and simulation has become an everyday part of the game. But while there is consensus on the need to assist the referees, opinions differ on how: for many video evidence is the solution, as it is considered perfectly suited to our modern world and used successfully in other sports. For others – and it is no secret that I am one of them – video refereeing would only spoil football, as it means the game would have to be stopped, however briefly (or not), to review the scene, ideally in slow-motion and if necessary comparing the footage with that of another camera because, as everyone knows, a different angle can invite a different interpretation. Of course, the human eye is not foolproof either. But thanks to the radio system in place, additional pairs of eyes on the penalty area can be of valuable IN THIS ISSUE assistance to the main referee.

  • Developing a Career Promotion Model for Romanian Football Referees
    Sorin-Andrei Antonie Developing a career promotion model for Romanian football referees University of Jyväskylä Department of Sport Sciences Master‟s Thesis Social Sciences of Sport Spring 2010 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was done in memory of my last cousin, Cristi who was also a football referee, and who encouraged and assisted me during the early stages on my refereeing career. Without him, I would have not started refereeing and I would have not been what I am today. Secondly, I would like to thank Anna-Katriina Salmikangas for having the time, patience and energy in helping me through this thesis, bringing ideas which allowed greatly me to complete this work. Moreover, I owe particular gratitude to Jari Lämsä for his continued support, in order to develop my academic skills, not only being my second thesis supervisor but also during my internship at KIHU. I would like to express my gratitude to the five Romanian elite referees for giving me their time to discuss and share our refereeing experiences. Moreover, this thesis is dedicated to all honest Romanian referees who still trust that Romanian refereeing will gain back its credibility one day. Finally, but most importantly, I would like to thank my parents, Adriana and Gigi, for their absolute support, both moral and financial, during my studies in Finland and Gaby, my soon to be wife, for having the patience and supporting me through my studies.
