As I am into my exams I had very little time to write on my blog. Since my last post, 1 may, I managed to squeeze in 4 games as linesman. The four games were very easy and controversy free, except a strange incident during the fourth game. I was on the opposite side to the dugouts, so in front of the spectators. There was one person following me up and down and everytime I waved my flag for a decision, threw me a volley of abuse. It was strange because no-one ever complained about one of my decisions so it was relatively quiet, except for the guy who passed the whole game abusing and criticising my decisions. Strange...yes but not surprising.
Also during my third game I was on the spectators side and heared a very amusing comment by one of the parents. They spoke in french but I'll translate it. (The names are fictive as I don't know the people.) The critics were directed to the central referee.
Mike : Ref come on, wake up, you've missed yet another straightforward call.
Paul : (To Mike) Ok , calm down, it's only a game.
Mike : Yeah but I hate these refs from here, when we're at home, they call them against us and when we're away, the refs are against us again.
Paul: Well, if there's no refs than there's nothing to rant about, so don't get these refs fed up otherwise you'll have to find something else to rant about every Sunday morning.
Well said ;) !

I like the comment from the two spectators. Some of the things you hear people say are plain stupid at times but very funny.
Also good luck for the exams.
Thanks alot John, they're almost over, I can't wait for it to be over.
