AITARACHEO KATKUTLEO This week's popular Konkani weekly column "Aitaracheo Katkutleo" ....... in English 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. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. A tepid translation of a superior Lino B.
