Referee Wears GoPro In A Game! | Referee POV 

Shoulda blew a more aggressive whistle too.

pretty sure his AR flagged

@@snowsnoot it is important to "sell" each call. When you are 30 yards away you cannot sell a call. "hey guys I am right here and i saw white put his foot through the back of reds leg".

I was thinking the same thing on the first penalty call - because I couldn't see what happened on the video so I don't know how he did.

I think it’s the camera that makes it look like he is far away

Agreed!! I'm starting my first job reffing and I'm 11 :)

Thats because its illegal under IFAB Laws.

Unfortunately, under IFABs Laws of the Game, it is illegal to be wearing any sort of electronic equipment, including cameras, in sanctioned matches. As much as I would love to see more of these kinds of channels, because it allows non-referee participants in soccer to see and hear what we do.

Don’t be nervous, you’ll be fine!

I'm starting refereeing as my first job! Getting payed 13 and hour at 11! I'm Soo nervous 🤣

To be nervous is ok. We all get nervous before games. You'll smash it

Reffing a match tomorrow morning lol. Haven't reffed since march so I'm also a bit nervous, guess I'll just have to keep focused and hope it'll be alright and all goes to plan

I do think he could still be closer But the camera probably makes it look further away

And was 5th game of the day😂

Finally a realistic comment

Guilty essayist here 🤣

Also, I feel IFAB oversteps their jurisdiction here. There is no risk to players or coaches involved by the ref wearing a camera for training material. And the moment a big organization, like a corporation or government says you little individual cannot film your own work environment... it's time to fight back. Right now I am wishing I had a goPro... I want to share with our adult league players as well as refs... we all need a lot of education and enlightenment here. Our local league may not have a fall season for lack of refs and here, in this Adult league it's a.matter of players dissenting and borderline/full on abuse issues. Yall want a real video? Send me a GoPro! I'll take it to the Latino League! They are unsanctioned so forget IFAB. We do what we want! Lol

A bit of a counter point from me, although I do agree on the goalie wasn't challenged at the end there and also regarding the 2 feet on the line comment. Three other things I do disagree with: 1) The positioning follows the recommended training to travel on a diagonal opposite of the AR. When the penalty was called he was in a good spot to see the infraction that occurred between him and the AR. I'm sure they made eye contact and confirmed this was a penalty. Remember there are a ton of edits in this video to boil it down to 16 minutes also... 2) As for the handball later... it's easy to arm chair ref this situation w/ a bunch of replays in 0.25x speed... but truth is, in that moment right there, the AR's view was obstructed and we don't exactly know what the center ref was really thinking. I could understand his hesitation, since even after watching it a couple of times, I'm not 100% sure the ball bounced off his arm low enough (remember, shoulder is not hand), his arm was not extended and he might've even tried to pull away his arm but didn't have time to react. So the ref had to judge based on a lot of variables. What he then SAID to the red player might've been just something to appease him - not the objective truth you make it out to be. 3) Lastly, the dissent... you say it's a harsh yellow... but actually I think you just confused who he's carding. It's not the player raising his arms in disbelief. It's the player w/o a number on his back, and he's not seen in the video when he makes the call. So we don't really know what he did or what he said (maybe foul language also). The fact that the player accepted his yellow w/o much push back tells me he knows what he did and fully deserved a caution.

Yes but this was a friendly and both teams were okay with it 👍🤣

For educational training use only . Both teams complied. People video games all the time

@@RefereePOV I am a Referee too. I would like to know why we aren’t allowed to Wear Cameras?

@@matteocarlini27 according to the LOTG, you aren’t allowed to wear any electronic devices, including cameras. (stopwatches are an exception)

@Grant Kirtz I did wear a camera this past season. My uncle is the head referee so he gives me permission to wear cameras.

Thanks for the support 🙏

Guilty as charged! 😅

please continue these vids its amazing

Was his 5th game so maybe little tired😂

Wow… I wanna be a referee so waiting till I turn 14

The kids cussed at the ref

Unsporting behavior

when a player or coach violates one of the laws of the game that requires a caution.

Standard sharpie

Dude said it was his fifth game of the day so I will allow it.

@@patricksudol5617 this is the reason you are required to turn down excessive games. You do a disservice to the players and the game if you are not up to doing the job properly.

@@EvilEye1986 I wouldn’t blame a shortage of referees on referees willing to do more games. Yes in an ideal world you limit your games but it’s a systemic problem that is beyond those willing to take the whistle.

@@patricksudol5617 not sure you’re replying to the right person. I never even mentioned the ref shortage.

@@EvilEye1986 You didn’t but that’s a huge reason why referees are doing 5+ games in a day.

The law says referees aren’t allowed to wear cameras. I did a few games last year where I had to wear a camera because we used the videos for training purposes.

He’s the ref

He is a trained referee therefore he knows when a foul is played

@@AKblox_7 yeah, I am as well. Guess why we can't just stay in the midcircle 🤣

If the keeper of S down play must be stopped

Explain without card. Don’t think cards get introduced until around U14s

Depends on rules of competition. As a referee myself, I tend to evaluate the level of play before I start handing out cards at a young age. Even if I didn't issue a card, I would still mention it in my report.

@@redacted790 depends really in UK when you get a red card you also get a £50 fine which is around $70 which is a little harsh on a young kid

@@ajaxhd6664 if the young kid tells you to f*%k off, are you going to dismiss them?

Know I’m late but have you officiated any matches yet? I’m think about becoming certified

@@pr1m3r42 just reffed my first game as an assistant ref

That’s his game sheet! He writes the number of the scorer, the time of the goal scored, and if there is any cautions or reds givin that too. All refs walk around with something like this, his is just on his card!

The individual official determines what kind of sheet he/she keeps. Some use the wallet, the one which comes with the starter kit, and paper. Others use write on cards with sharpie. Others still use other forms, such as tape on the back of non-write on cards. There's no "official" requirement on it, so it's whatever the referee is comfortable with using.

No it has to be both feet

@@Soccerooedits01 no. 1 foot on or above the line.

@@Soccerooedits01 until about... I believe 2 years ago it was both feet on the line on PKs. Since I believe 2019-20 Laws, only one foot is required to be on the line when the kick is taken.
