5. The Referee:
Well the man in black (or more recently phosphorus green) is probably the biggest "invention" that came with the initial soccer rules constitution and his role is to enforce these official rules of soccer "in connection to the match he has been appointed to".
The center referee is accompanied and helped by two assistant referees (one on each side of the pitch) and a fourth one that handles small issues like showing injury time duration, checking a substitute player's equipment and replacing one of the three main referees if they can't continue the game.
6. The Assistant Referees:
As I explained above, the assistant referees are placed on the sides of the pitch (one each) and their main role is to help the main referee with some decisions. Actually, the assistant referee has no decision power, he can only signal a game issue (an offside, a foul, handball and so forth) but it's up to the central ref if he's or she is going to take up the assistant's advice.

Hey Thamer,
ReplyDeleteDo you play soccer in Boise or do you just play whenerver you can at BSU?
Have you ever thought about being an assistant coach?
I know that Travis has coaching experience, maybe he can help give you pointers on what it takes or who you need to talk to. That is if you wanted to coach it. You seem to have enough passion for it.
