Environment Things that make you nervous

Thought this might be an interesting one.

I'm returning to soccer refereeing this year after a three year absence. Sitting through the seminar today, it hit home. Getting a walk through on our new comms equipment, talked through the latest FIFA interpretations by one of our branch's international referees - I felt totally out of my depth. Everyone there had a better handle on it than me.

Matches start in two weeks and I can't remember the last time I was feeling this sense of dread about something.

Anyone else?

Everyone there was most likely thinking and feeling the same way you were.

Stop offering to suck people's toes upon meeting them. It's less awkward that way.

Extra time in a NRL competition GF that your side is participating in.

Thank Christ for that afrohead that came out of retirement in the end

State League and Premier League. Semi-professional players.

I will be in the lower divisions to start with though. I'll need to requalify for my Class 1 certificate, and I won't pass the fitness test for first grade until I lose about 7kg.

Hat trick balls.

You sound like a prime candidate to ref an Asian Cup final.

Absolutely, and I'm getting worse. But that's for the depression and anxiety threads.

Richmond in a final.

 

[Freofalcon]

Padded up, waiting to bat.

I'd rather open and face the first ball of the innings.

When I was playing, I'd be the designated opening bat for my team. And I ******* hate the tension leading up to the start of an innings. Despite it being my strength in the game, I hate batting.

I love batting. It's the chasing a little red ball in the field on a 38+ degree day I find not so appealing.
