    really good test <ok> I'm a football referee and I found some of these quite difficult.

    I hope you don't mind but I've copied this link onto our board as well. I like the fact that they gathering up all the results into football clubs fans so lets see if we can beat you at something!

    well, I got seven. It'd be nice if it told you which ones you got right and wrong, but then I suppose that would skew the results as you'd be able to do it again and just put all the right answers in

    Whats wrong with holding shares in the company you work for? I thought it was quite widespread.

    I only got 5 but was relatively sure about most of the answers...d'oh!

    Going to have to look up my answers to some of those for my own sanity!

    4 for me as well, but I would have sworn I'd got at least 8!!

    To be fair some of the scenarios that were given were very unusual and there are some that I have never come across in 10 years of refereeing. I bet even the great Eddie Ilderton would have been flumoxed by some of those questions! <laugh>

    I got 4; must say I was relatively pleased as I've never kicked a ball or blown a whistle in anger.

    I got 3! <yikes> I therefore think the quiz is stupid! <grr>

    I went for different answers where it wasn't clear but I went for the less than obvious one!

    bloody hell. i was embarrassed to only get 9! looks like i've done rather well on reflection. i guessed at four of the answers, so must have struck lucky on one, but most of those scenarios are common sense. there are a few however which may never crop up. just shows though how hard it is to referee - they have a split second to make their calls

    5 for me, although I'm really interested to see the answers, I didn't think I did that badly!

    Just been told the answer to one of the questions and it is not logical at all.

    Don't want to say what question it is or the answer as it will ruin it for other people taking the quiz but whoever came up with the rule doesn't understand football.

    7 but I thought I'd got more, so now no idea which ones were right and wrong.
