I'll be reffing my young bloke's home games this year again. Last time I refereed the team they're playing against today, one of the opposition players left the field in tears at my response to his mouthing off at me.

I did some reffing as a teenager (13-14), worst experience. Only did u6s and 7s on the tiny fields. The kids didn't care, they were having a blast running around chasing a ball, the parents were savage though. Expletives galore over throw in calls in front of six year olds.
Absolutely no idea why anyone would want to be a ref, particularly in soccer where there is a culture of crowding and pressuring him. ****ty thankless job.

Was listening to a couple of former league internationals on the radio last night who've covered all kinds of events in Australia and around the world. They said the atmosphere at Parramatta Stadium in the semi was like nothing they'd ever seen or felt in Australia. Just a real intensity apparently. It's good to see some crowds in this country get full on into a sporting contest and happily express it. I always think we're a bit too reserved the way we specatate in Australia, even at massive grand final-type events.
Providing they leave out the flares etc, it should be a cracking atmosphere. And again, what a story the Wanderers are. Five weeks befor ethe season the club had a coach and six players. It's an extraordinary effort, irrespetive of what happens on the weekend.

They were abject. Fairtale season but a very poor performance made the night a bit of a fizzer. They were never in it.

Nice to see Kennedy back.
If only James Troisi played more games for Altanta. Still would have picked him personally. Even with just one game is six months he is still a better option then Vidosic, Brosque and Thompson against Japan.
Would be nice if Herd was fit. We would have at least one good centre half option that could keep up with the Japanese forwards.
Pretty shows the state of Australian football. Older players on their last legs, struggling for game time. And young guns struggling to establish themselves in first teams and decent leagues.
Decent squad considering the limited options.

Australia are pretty poor in comparison to last to WCs and will be lucky to qualify in front of some very average opposition
