Want to Referee?...But ! 
by Lino B. Dourado 

 
Nothing withstanding. To be a good referee first of all one much have a great 
love of the game, having studied it well--knowing the rules, most importantly 
its goals. To become an accomplished referee means devoting your precious time 
and intelligence as well as physical energy and displaying an affection towards 
the game--more importantly that blood flows strongly and surely in your veins. 
Upon your having a solid comprehension of the rules of the games--you are able 
to collectively satisfy all comers. But on hindsight, this is not what our eyes 
have seen. To believe that a referee's decision will appease all--is well, not 
something encountered recently by spectators. And for that reason a well 
arranged tournament whether it be soccer, basketball. volleyball, and so on and 
so forth; an entire tournament on account of poor refereeing decisions gets 
badly polluted (turn problematic) or gets out of hand (uncontrollable). 
 
What is of significance is indeed the essence of the game, and only upon having 
a thorough knowledge of the rules--does that allow you to interact and 
communicate with the players in the field and deliver good decisions. When FIFA 
changes and introduces new soccer rules, then professional referees take 
classes to learn those new rules. Then you may officiate a game well and render 
conclusive decisions. Sometimes when on account of faulty refereeing decisions, 
a good team is knocked out of a tournament--it causes anguish to many resulting 
in the referee being hurled curses and abuses; unsecured grounds being charged 
by spectators who mob the referee--furthermore, even resulting in the referee 
receiving a thrashing. 
 
Currently in Kuwait, to referee the ongoing KIFF- the football (soccer) 
league--the remainder of the more significant games of the J.P. D'Mello 
Memorial Rolling Trophy, is FIFA (certified) Referee Franky Fernandes. 
According to what we have learnt from reliable sources, a misunderstanding 
between the Kuwait India Football Federation (KIFF) and Indian Football 
Referees Association (IFRA)--in that there being no professional referee to 
boost the KIFF league, a request to the All India Football Federation to 
conduct the current league and to bring it to its rightful potential level has 
resulted in choosing (nominating)  Franky as the referee. 
 
For the past many years in Kuwait, soccer tournaments have been conducted under 
the sponsorship of the KIFF, and the refereeing done by very experienced IFRA 
referees. The world body FIFA is responsible in maintaining the mission and 
rules of the game, including during the World Cup, and to ensure that the game 
is played robustly; and so that the players on the field do not face any 
hindrances--through continually improving the rules. Among other sports, ever 
since soccer has risen to be a world sport, it is necessary that its standards 
bemaintained by a special body. Hence the game today is one that continues to 
raise ones pleasure. But there are some referees, ignorant of newer rules or 
unaware of the changes taking place or even those which have already taken 
place. When a weak referee referees a game, then often a faulty decision 
results in a good team possibly losing. Accordingly, considering what has been 
noted above, the refereeing today is
 predicated upon physical energy, health and a comprehensive understanding of 
the game. 
 
FIFA certified refree Franky Fernandes, will officiate the remainder of the 
games of the KIFF soccer  league. FIFA certified referee Franky will work 
towards helping implement KIFFs authoritative injunction towards path breaking 
refereeing. Those wishing to become good referees, must take advantage of this 
opportunity (to observe and understand) according to information released by 
KIFF. This sound advice is towards creating referees for the future strong in 
body, mind (focused) and similarly in health. As wishes go out to KIFF I wish 
to put out a thought. Having spend a great amount of money to bring a FIFA 
referee to prepare a new crop of referees--will KIFF manage future tournaments 
without any further vexation. This anxiety has beset every soccer spectator.
