So, with Euro 2016 well under way right now, people all over seem to forget and unconsciously lack the knowledge of knowing there are actually 3 teams on the field of play at all times, you got it yet? yes, it's the Home team, away team and... the Referees! The match officials are always such a vital part of the game, after all there would be no game without a referee. The problem is, the ratio of footballers/football fans to referee's is quite frankly shocking, there is a severe lack of referee's but of course most believe they could do a better job than the referee's anyway, coincidentally when there team is losing.
With football of course being such an global sport and money being thrown at the game left, right and center, the referee's decision can be worth a heck of a lot, this can be just in a normal league game, or the FA cup final. However, it seems to me that a lot of fans of the beautiful game are quite clueless of the referee signals and decisions that are given, which could always cause unnecessary heat towards the referee and a bit of controversy between either players, managers or the crowd. Therefore I've decided to put together a little presentation, which will give you all a clear description of all the signals used within the 90 minutes, surprisingly there aren't really that many, so grin and bear it as within a few minutes you'll be fully topped up on the knowledge with referee decision making and the signals which go with it. Here goes;
Above is all the signals of which a referee with use during a game, so at least before you start shouting at the referee or getting confused as to what's happening, once looking at this and drilling it into you, you'll at least know what's going on and well if in your own opinion you don't agree with it, well like the good ol' British saying you're going to have to 'Keep calm and carry on'.
