Officiating the Game
Officiating the Game
Introduction
Hello, my name is Andrew Milewski and im a Teacher. I enjoy writing blogs about random things and decided that this would be a perfect website to move my current work too!
As humans are social animals it
is almost impossible to avoid violence or breaking of rules and laws. That is
why some people are chosen as rule enforcers like the police, that is why law
enforcers are needed in all daily activities. In sports, these law enforcers
are the referees and his assisting officials etc. In essence, there is a main
referee and two other assistants that are present and active during the game;
these are the linesmen. The last official also called the fourth official helps
to control other things that can act as a means of disturbance to the players
on the field, for example the spectators, or an angry coaches. The fourth
official is also responsible for regulation addition time, substitution. The
following are some duties of a referee;
- ü He or she enforces match rules
- ü The referee controls the game of football with the help of the assistant referees and the fourth official
- ü He inspects the field and the technologies put in place to aid the judgment and officiating of the game for instance is a necessity that the referee inspects the ball to be used for the planed match.
- ü A referee is required to be the time keeper and record keeper of the match, it is within the duties of a referee to suspend or stop the match if anything goes out of ordinary. For example, the referee can stop the match if any player is critically injured, he or she should ensure that any player bleeding from an injury or any player who cannot continue the game due to one form of injury or the other is taking out of the field.
The referee has been given the
power to make some decisions asides his normal duties on the field, such
decisions include; the referee is expected to decide whether the field of play
or the weather for conducive for the match, the referee also makes decisions
such as whether to stop the match due to interference from the spectators or if
the match should be stopped to allow an injured player to exit the field. The
referee can also decide whether to allow or not to allow a player to wear
certain gear during the match. The referee’s decision is often final and
binding during and after the match, for instance, if a referee calls a goal it
remains a goal even if replays show that it was not actually a goal.
