oh welll

hmm so its been a while, but its not like anyone reads this other than the people i talk to every day anyways...
aight so before i talk about the blues... figurative and literal... i will discuss some refereeing things that have happened over the past weeks

1st off - in more ways than one - my only red card of the season so far
Violent conduct, the girl elbowed another girl in the stomach away from play while the ball was dead. It was a stupid thing to do i was only about 10 feet away. She went off with no objections. What makes that game more memorable is that the parents were far worse than the players or coaches. It seems like the further away from the field the better angle of viewing the parents have, this field being very far away from the stands - which were built up and into a hill.
2nd off - coaches have been far better this season although there are still some of them that think coaching means talking more to or about the referee than the game. oh well, some things never change. Although in my last game the coach was upset about this girl getting tripped after the final whistle. you know how there are 3 tweets for the final whistle and the girl was getting clipped on the first. nothing bad and she was fine. coach wanted me to card the offending girl and all i probably would have given was a direct free kick, it wasnt a harsh tackle at all.
3rd off - tomorrow is a big day.. I am refereeing Boys Varsity, Forest Park HS vs Gar-Field HS... which the washington post has them ranked 7th and 10th respectively in the area. their first meeting ended up 2 to 1 in favor of Forest Park. From what I can tell about their previous game was that more than one card was handed out along with a penalty kick. This will probably be the highest level game I have centered yet. ill be giving a detailed report I am sure

Now to the professionals
Its Liverpool v AC Milan in a showdown once again. Of course for the next 23 days all we will hear about is Istanbul and the comeback. so be it.. I just hope the red haired kid remembers that he was too chicken to watch the whole game and is able to watch this one (he couldnt reason with his teacher about all school cleanup, even after i had settled it for him that he could watch, he was afraid of someones wrath)... haha, i am just messin with you man, although your beloved Arse doesnt have any silverware this season and could be american by this time next year.

Man U and Chelsea - now 5 points up in the prem with 3 games to go, one against Chelsea. It should be interesting after this weekend. The Man. Derby and Chelsea at Arse. A great weekend for football now that I think about it, hmmm. There are too many outcomes to think about but if it ends up being 5 points with two games left it would be interesting if Chelsea rest their players against Man U to focus on just the Cup. Yet if things change this weekend ( a win for the blues a loss for the devils) it could become very interesting what the special one decides. I have come to this conclusion that no matter what no one is winning the double, its going to be one or the other. Especially after the poor performance by ManU in the game today it should be interesting with all the injuries...

so many different possibilites
