Off for my first training session...

... with BAFRA (British American Football Referees Association) this Sunday!

Wish me luck!

 

I've played one proper game and I already hate referees, so it won't be long until I hate you too.

 

I have mentally prepared myself for exactly that sort of attitude mate.

 

I was only joking (kind of), best of luck man. But yeah, be prepared for shouty players and coaches.

 

Ta mate. I imagine it'll be a relatively steep learning curve.

 

Enjoy mate. Im tempted to get some money together and give it a go myself. It looks very rewarding and a good way to get involved with the game. Good luck with it.

 

Ta mate. Yeah, I'd been toying with the idea for a while. Moved to London and thought I'd take the plunge.

 

Where abouts is it? Im in Watford as you can see so if its local thats a huge benefit.

 

I could say 'break a leg mate', but then I'd prolly jinx it and you brake your leg literally. So... good luck on Sunday mate.

 

Good luck and have fun!

I'm thinking of getting into American Football myself but as a player but unfortunately I'm not tall, I'm not (that) broad, I'm not fast.... but I'm fairly agile and light on my feet, dunno what (if anything) that could make me.

 

Bulk up a bit and play linebacker or DE (depending on fitness - linebacker has a lot more running involved).

 

I'd say go short stop between third and second base

 

We had some shocking referees at our Uni games last year. Please tell me your knowledge of the rules of football is solid

Hope you enjoy it, and let us know how it goes. I'm sure a couple of us would love to get into it more.

 

Ta for all the luck. The one I'm attending is at East London Rugby Club (West Ham).

I'm very keen on making a proper go of it but I'm sort of trying to figure out whether I'm able to completely commit to it. We'll see I guess.

 

I just had to post this! It is no reflection on you of course mate. But after the double catch fiasco I have to laugh or I will break down.
