is there a chance for a person that didn't go to clinic to be a ref?

you need to be certified to ref highschool, college games, etc.. if you have any Municipal leagues you can ref.. call your local Recreation office and see what they have....by Municipal I mean like Adult social baseball, basketball, volleyball, football leagues....

in some countries they are ,but in others they have to take a  second job,fifa in order to be democratic select the candidates from all the federations they have around the world ,the fifa take in consideration a referee ranking they have, and to be selected ,you have to be a fifa referee,that is a selected group ,who have the experience,the knowledge,finally they take a cooper test to see if they fit physically for the wc games.\nbut after all they are humans a basic condition to make mistakes

Henry is entitled to his opinion of the referee's decisions whether he had a bad game or not. If he had a good game does that mean he is allowed to critise the ref more? I don't think so. Incidentally, I don't agree with his comments but he is entitled to his express his opinion whether or not he had a bad game.

Short answer....referee for a looooooooong time.\n\nLonger answer.  You have to work your way up.  If you are really serious, look around for your local youth football program and get on as a ref.  Most of them are hurting for them and many offer pay (however, in most cases you will need to insure yourself so this may offset your pay).  Do this long enough and you can perhaps get on as a high school ref.  Work your way up from there.  Remember, however, refs don't make a whole lot of money.  Many of the NFL refs have professions outside of the NFL.  There are many lawyers and there is one PGA golf pro as well.

Hey its not like that you have to contact ranji and than you go upward. No body can get direct entry in International Team so work hard you surely got chance in future. \n\nAll the best from my side. My best wishes are with you.

not to my knowledge but a ref was on a scottish football programme and said that if the ball was deflected of the ref and into the net the goal would be allowed. i guess thats why you dont see refs going into the box for corners.lol

Start with kids and HS.  It will take a long time especially if you have no experience as a player at the higher levels.  If you are interested in sport why not become a referee.

If you aren't REQUIRED to get one, then don't. If they insist, have them pick the "independent" doctor. If not, get a refferal from yours.\n\nIn the even this does happen, get a third opinion.

Maybe you meant the player's being disqualified?  If so, that would mean that a player either accumulated 6 personal fouls and has "fouled out" (This means that they are no long eligible to re-enter the game) or they have been given two technicals by the officials and have been tossed from the game. \n\nHope this helps.

A bad referee decision

I think an african or asian referee would be fair

you aren't supposed to get a red card for slikde tackling someone. Maybe a yellow card if it appeared to be on purpose, but not a red card. The ref. gave 2 red cards to the US for slide tackles. The ref was also given probation because he was involved in a scam a few years back.

I guess all the referees communication device, but if the play was missed by a ref, one that makes the call is the person who sees the infraction then ref in field makes the final judgement on what the call should be.  Ref in field has more power than the sidelines at all time.

Even though a great deal of time has transpired since the original charge, there is a great probability that a warrant has been issued for failing to appear on the original charge. A person charged with a crime has an obligation to appear before a judge to have the matter resolved. A warrant can be issued at any tiume during that process if a person does not show up to court, even if they have shown up already. I would suggest that you contact the court of origin for your friend and see if there is a warrant. If there isn't one, then he/she is home free.

Brian, are you looking for anything in particular? I am adult male in Ontario Canada.  Have been a hockey fan (GO BRUINS) since I was a kid.  I have been a minor hockey ref for more than 20 years.
