The football referees thread

[Balida]

OOC: Balida and Novikov, I hope you do realise that it would be nigh-on impossible any match involving your international teams would have a referee from your own country.

haha, my bad. I meant to say Balida's international tournaments instead of matches.

[Cosumar]

Cosumar's Referees

John Cantwell-John Cantwell is a small 42 year old man with short gray hair. He used to be one of Cosumar's best oympic swimmers and played football as a hobby on the side. When he retired from swimming he revealed how much he knew about football and became a commentator at a TV station. This didn't work out and he was later offered a refereeing contract, which he accepted at age 37. He has risen thorugh the ranks, and 5 years later is one of Cosumar's premiere referees. He is not as strict as most refs. He is considered lax but will pull a card if neccessary.

Calvin Keppeleire-Kalvin Keppeleire is from Vesria, a small rural town in west Cosumar. He grew up going to public school, where he excelled and outshined his peers, finishing as valedictorian of his high school class of 42. His parents wanted him to go to pre-med at the prestigious Slivelle Academy, but instead he threw away his academic career and went after his dream of being a football player. His parents, who disapproved of sports, were furious and he was practically disowned. Calvin was actually a gifted player and eventually made the roster of Morponte Fief FC as a midfielder at age 27. During his career he went to the world cup twice as a reserve. When he retired at age 33 he immediately became a referee - he was unwilling to part with the game he loved. He is now 39 and is one of Cosumar's most strict and by-the-book referees, he is fast to pull a yellow card. This contrasts with Cantwell's reluctance to do so.

Derris Na'Fen- Derris Na'Fen is not human. He is of the Vloo species which is native to the Na'Ailee islands of the Cosumarite west coast. The Vloo are humanoid in shape with blue tinted skin, thick, pitch black hair and two small, dull horns topping their head. They are just as intelligent and athletic as humans. Approximately 9% of Cosumar is Vloo, with the rest being human. Derris grew up on Na'Frusk island and maintained a simple and average life. When his parents died at age 11, he became an angry-spirited person. He found an outlet for his anger and aggresion. Football. He played football non-stop and he was dazzling as a striker. He won 2 high school championships and got a full scholarship to Na'Ailee Fief University for football. In college he won 1 championship and was the third over-all pick in the Fiefdom Soccer Federation (Cosumarite domestic league) draft. He was drafted to Ramusok United, one of the best clubs in Cosumar. He played 3 seasons there and quickly gained fame and became a star; he was one of the first Vloo to be a well-known superstar in Cosumarite sports. After his third season he became one of the primary strikers for the Cosumar World Cup team. In the 2nd minute of his first WC qualifying match he was injured...horribly. He was flung up in the air and came down on his neck and back. He was paralyzed from the waist-down permanently. He lived in the hospital for a whole year. 15 years later, at age 40, he woke up one morning with his paralysis gone. It was a miracle; the doctors couldn't explain it. He was too old to play football anymoer, but launched a refereeing career instead. He is now 55 and has been refereeing for 15 years. He is widely considered the best ref in Cosumar. He is even-headed and neither rash nor reluctant. He is willing to listen to players and coaches but makes his decisions firmly and has a keen eye that rarely misses anything on the field.

[Aguazul]

I've RPed these guys several times, might as well place 'em up here. Ricardo Ordoñez is a decent enough referee and father of five, but he tries to steer away from big games because he doesn't think his linesmen are very competent. They are Miguel Armas (overexcitable, deals with an on-again, off-again girlfriend), and José Preciado, about the only linesman in Aguazul who finds nailbiters easier to work than blowouts (it's a long story). Preciado (and probably Armas as well, like most people from Aguazul), are not particularly literate ("offsides, the blue team, number straight line up and down next to a circle...")

There's also Yolande Melgarejo, who's on the older side, but she's a much better assistant referee.

These people have retired. Stay tuned for more Aguazuleño refs.

[Mapletish]

The officials from most likely to work internationally are :

Felicjan Zbigniew,38 Zbigniew might have a Polish-liked name which is hard to pronounce and also hard to remember but the reason why he is remembered by
many Maplish footballers is because of his tendency of looking into pretty small details,despite his age,he have refereed in 4 Cup-Finals a feat that he is proud of and
giving out a total of 18 yellow cards and 3 red,showing his strictness level at a glance.Nothing goes unnoticed from his pair of sharp eyes,his trustworthy earpieces and
the 4th official during matches are one of his "Double-Checking" devices to prevent unfair refereeing decisions.

Jan Gebhard,54.Gebhard might be a veteran referee from his age but his zero-tolerance for unsporting behaviour makes many players feel as if he is only
in his twenties.He might be linnet on some occasions but he never fails to point out a foul if there is really a need to and he has given more penalties during a cup
round than any other referee,giving a total of 15 penalties,8 for Home United and 7 for Golden Phoniex during a bad tempered cup final between the two biggest sides
in Mapletish.Match control will go on smoothly under him if the play isn't too violent and an injury prone aggressiveness play.

[West Zirconia]

The three international-standard officials in West Zirconia are (in order of seniority):

Paul Wakelin (Rothwell) - On the strict side of fair. Wave imaginary cards at him and you'll get a real one back. Any attempt at diving will end in the same. And don't even think of using that local profanity against him, because chances are he'll know it and send you off for it. However, he'll allow over-exuberant goal celebrations as long as they're not in front of opposing fans. Generally likes the game to flow and to keep well in the background. Speaks fluent English and French, and passable Spanish.

In the case that all three West Zirconian officials run a single match, Paul Wakelin will be the referee.

David Copeland (St. Martin) - Some would say that he is so lenient that you would have to pull out a machete and hack your opponent to death in order to concede a foul, but that reputation rests on one nightmare of a West Zirconian Cup Final when he let Bradley Hornets get away with murder against Mort Park. Still, he is more lenient than most, and in one season managed to issue just eighteen yellow cards (and no reds) in a 38-match season. And that included two in each of the Bradley derbies. Only fluent in English, though speaks basic German and Danish.

Peter McPherson (Markham) - A bit of a showman, to be honest. Every football association has one. Everything done with a flourish, especially the handing out of cards. Needs to be told that he isn't the centrepiece of every match in which he's involved. Still, he's competent enough to be considered for international duties, even if Paul Wakelin makes sure it's merely waving a flag around. Speaks English, Russian and Czech fluently, German less so.

[Nakatumo Isle]

Name: Ole Avei
Country: Nakatumo Isle
Age: 32
Style: plays advantage,lets game flow and is easy on cards when offence is not serious
Speaks: English, manduki (native language) and spanish

Only referee from the nation qualified to oversee games at world cup level.

[Polar Islandstates]

Time to create some referees I think...
In the even of an all-PIS team of officials being required, the following four were the refereeing team for the CoH TPPO when it was hosted in the nation, though all are established Federation League referees in their own right.

Johannes Rudkilde
The most respected referee in the nation. Has refereed countless Elfsteijn derbies, as well as the Cuppet final, and the CoH TPPO. Fair and even-handed, with a 'death-stare' that players know means they're in trouble. Takes a dim view of diving and time-wasting, but is willing to let more physical challenges go with punishment so much as the players remain safe. Punishes off the ball incidents severely.

Jakkob Rautiainen
Linesman at the CoH TPPO, as a referee he is one of the more outspoken professionals when it comes to the issue of player/manager influence on the officials, and tends to book players who wave imaginary cards more readily that other referees might, and has also sent more managers to the stands than any other referee last season. He is a hard-ass in every sense of the word, and his games are frequently card-filled.

Sander Stoa
He was the other linesman at the CoH TPPO, and has a host of Latitude Cup Finals as referee to his name as well. Can be more easily led on that Rautiainen for sure, and has a tendency to favour the home side in decisions if the home support are particularly loud.

Dima Koolhaas
Older than the other three, he was the fourth official at the CoH TPPO, and was the leading campaigner for goalline technology. Widely tipped for a position at the FPIFA when he retires from refereeing, and is a referee who favours allowing the game to flow, more like to stop play to book players for accumulation of fouls, rather than any one in particular.

[Eastfield Lodge]

OK, might get some referees on the list:

Jonathan Oakdoore
One of the most famous referees in Eastfield Lodge, he has spent most of refereeing life in the top flight of EL football and has some experience in making game-changing decisions. He takes a rather strict view when it comes to diving, and will send off a player for clearly and intentionally diving in their opponent's 18-yard box for a second time. As for tackles, he will tend to take the harsher line, more often than not penalising ambiguous tackles. Quite tall, he can intimidate the smaller players into backing down in an argument. Being a former footballer, he is still very fit, and when the play is slow, can predict, about 65% correctly, the next move, and will move to make a better view of the ball for when an incident occurs because of it.

Will add more as time goes on.

RP Permissions: May not be blamed for a bad result, at all.

[Kagdazka and Pazhujebu]

Name: Denis Evdikimov
Nationality: Kagdaz
Age: 30
Speaks: English, Russian, Pazhujebi, Pacitalian, Portuguese, German
Hometown: Dyurtyuli

Despite his unbelievably young age, Evdikimov is considered to be the cream of the crop with respect to refereeing in Kagdazka and Pazhujebu. He only received his badge two years ago, but rapidly rose to fame after handling some extremely contentious fixtures (most notably, Iguani Yayal's Matchday 29 victory over Zhevassi ZL in the 5251 season and the tense second leg of the Vulkan-FKM tie in the Fourth Round of the 5252 Šenapatiam'ajat Vahavi). He combines a healthy mixture of lenience and strictness with regard to fouls, though he issues less that one yellow card per game, being highly predisposed to talking with players rather than booking them immediately. The only flaw in his style is infamous: he is easily fooled by dives and will often call for a foul on a defender even if replays later prove there was no contact.

Name: Majmuthuš Rušinaqh
Nationality: Pazhujebi
Age: 78
Speaks: English, Russian, Pazhujebi, French
Hometown: Mahathu

A 78-year-old Pazhujebi man with grayish white hair, whose posture is quite poor, Rušinaqh is generally considered to be the second-best referee in Federation football (though at one time he was the best) behind Evdikimov. He is now considered to be simply too old, but he refuses to retire, resolutely describing himself as '18 on the inside!' Despite his youthful self-image, he still is forced to carry a cane with him around the football pitch. (Sometimes he waves the cane at players threateningly, but there are no known incidents of him hitting players with it.) Generally speaking, he allows play to flow and is conservative with both his whistle and his cards. He will only blow for a penalty if a very gross obstruction of play has occurred and is clearly inside the box, otherwise strikers shouldn't expect to get much out of him.

Name: Aipajawa Pana
Nationality: Kagdaz
Age: 35
Speaks: English, Russian, Carib
Hometown: Gelendzhik

Though he is only five years older than Evdikimov, Pana has been around the First Division for quite a while now. The first person of Carib ethnicity to receive refereeing badges from the KPFA, the short, smoky-red-skinned man is well known for his eclectic dress. Though he usually dresses in perfectly normal refereeing garb, he occasionally decides to don the traditional dress of his fellow Carib people during matches, meaning he wears nothing but a penis sheath. Usually one only sees Pana getting up to this when the weather in warm. In terms of refereeing style, he is very strict. Even the slightest contact is, in Pana's book, a foul. Luckily, he is really not card-happy, averaging just under two bookings per match.

Ages accurate as of 5253 (Pazhujebi calendar)

[New Montreal States]

Name: Sébastien Ducharme
Age: 53
Languages (in order of acquisition): French, English, Portuguese, Spanish, Basque
Hometown: Valdemont

Tall, thin-faced, with mousy-blond hair and a nose slightly too big for his face, Ducharme utterly fails at living up to his last name. Blunt, hard-spoken, and more than willing to publicly defend calls if his governing body allows it, Ducharme frequently gets called upon to referee home-and-homes after overly physical first matches. Majored in Lusitanian Studies at Leduc University in the Valdemont suburbs while paying his way refereeing beer-league and fifth-tier matches on weekends; decided to try climbing the refereeing ranks before settling down. Twenty years later, he's now widely acknowledged to be, as one anonymous coach put it, "a dick, albeit one who is very good at his job." Recently refereed the CoH 54 final.

Name: Barry Saunders-Lalime
Age: 44
Languages (in order of acquisition): English, French, Audioslavian, Vilitan
Hometown: New Antioch (immediately outside New Montreal)

Football has always been famous for raising an impossibly tiny number of supremely talented poor kids and giving them exactly everything they and millions of their peers dreamed of when they were little. Saunders-Lalime is, if not more glamorous, then perhaps more remarkable, having refereed his way out of the ghetto. Living in New Antioch, a poor and grimy industrial city of 500,000 immediately south of the New Montreal lights, Saunders-Lalime climbed his way out of poverty as he rose through the refereeing ranks. Considered to be one of the best in the NMSFL, Saunders-Lalime is particularly adept at talking players down after confrontations. After traveling widely during his WC62 match assignments, Saunders-Lalime has signed up for language courses at his local university extension, hoping to broaden his mind and his international refereeing prospects.

Name: Jean-Marcel Cordray-Marois
Age: 40
Languages (in order of acquisition): French, English
Hometown: Bétionville

Coming from a small farm just outside Bétionville, a town of 2500 souls not too far from the NMS-Northern Bettia border, Cordray-Marois is a bit of a hayseed. At 6'4', 202 pounds, Cordray-Marois can usually break up arguments between competitors merely by placing his hand firmly on the instigators' shoulder. He speaks French and English with a heavy rural accent, collects old license plates and spends his offseason helping out his sister and brother-in-law on the family farm. Cordray-Marois is widely admired by NMSFL players and fans for his honesty, sense of fair play, and one episode from when he was coming up the NMSFL ranks in which he repaired a malfunctioning stadium timer himself during the halftime break.

UPDATED THROUGH THE END OF WORLD CUP 62

[Jeruselem]

Name: Kathleen Bird
Speaks: Jeruselemite, French, Qazian

Not the most noticable referee on the field as she's quite short, and doesn't seem to do a lot. The daughter of a Qazian immigrant, she tried her hand at football but found she was pretty useless so turned to being a referee. Pretty much a pretty lazy referee, but you know when you're in trouble when turns waving her arms a lot. She doesn't take crap from players talking back very well and happy to wave a few more cards at the offender.

Name: Dazzarina "Dazza" Daize
Speaks: Jeruselemite, French, pigeon Latin

Dazza Daize also known is "Dizzy" to her friends. A promising junior player until she broke a leg and never got back into playing the game. She looks far from scary on the field but many a player committing blatant offenses or diving for penalties will cop her ire with she starts waving the red card. Very hard to people who try to injure others as she lost her football career to a nasty tackle. Her hero is Dazza Dallas and she's been known to behave a bit loose when drunk. Not afraid of nudity or indecent exposure.

[Andossa Se Mitrin Vega]

I still have this guy available from my post on page 1 of this thread.

[Osarius]

It's about time I added some refs, I think... So here's a selection of Osarian top flight refs.

Name: Le'vi Ramana'ki
Age: 40
Hometown: Kyobe, Ikuturso
Last season: 47 games -- 94 yellow, 2 red
Le'vi is widely considered one of the best referees in Osarius, probably owing much to his imposing 6' 3" frame. He has a tendency to try and apply the advantage rule wherever possible, and will attempt to stop the game as little as possible. However, should any player show dissent, he doesn't take too kindly to it, and has been known to scream and shout back. He doesn't book players often, preferring to give stern verbal warnings, which often do the trick.

Name: Guiseppe Montella
Age: 38
Hometown: Firewood, Fourge
Last season: 42 games -- 152 yellow, 11 red
Montella is perhaps one of the most feared referees in Osarius -- from a manager's perspective, anyway -- as he is a no-nonsense type of official. Takes a very dim view of gamesmanship, and is not afraid to make controversial calls (such as awarding contentious penalties against the home team) if he believes he is right. His unflappable nature and tendency to "hand out cards like it was Christmas", as John Holcombe once observed, make him a reliable option, if a little unpopular.

Name: Rebus Tursilio
Age: 39
Hometown: Turic, Ikuturso
Last season: 23 games -- 79 yellow, 0 red
Tursilio is a favourite among Osarian players, because he is pretty lenient, even by Osarian standards. This of course, does have the downside that he is less likely to award free kicks and penalties, meaning flair players are considerably less fond of him. The most common criticism aimed at Tursilio is his poor on-field positioning at times, which might account for some of his poor decisions.

Name: Achille Ragonese
Age: 35
Hometown: Carbonia, Fourge
Last season: 26 games -- 108 yellow, 7 red
Ragonese's authoritarian approach to the game doesn't win him many fans outside the sport's governing body, but he refuses to diverge from his "by the book" style of refereeing. Seems to enjoy the vitriol hurled his way at times, oddly enough. It is also notable that Ragonese rarely consults his assistants, which is perhaps a major factor in the fan hatred toward him.

Name: Macario Sansone
Age: 27
Hometown: Cartagena, Tubriss
Last season: 31 games -- 92 yellow, 5 red
As the youngest top flight referee in Osarius, Sansone is perceived as being a little easier to manipulate than other referees. While he is mostly a balanced referee, he can sometimes lose control of particularly heated matches -- which is why the OFA seldom assigns him to rivalry games -- and has been known to seemingly favour bigger teams, or home teams.

Name: Kimberley Martin
Age: 36
Hometown: Kronkow, Dynapolis
Last season: 28 games -- 80 yellow, 2 red
Being female, Martin comes under unfair scrutiny at times, but she is often commended for not being easily swayed, even in the face of vociferous home support. Most notably, Martin was commended for "sticking to her guns" in a heated Corradini Cup semi final clash last season, where she proceeded to book four players for dissent -- leading to one's dismissal. Her general attitude is to try and let the game flow, but she will not be taken lightly, or allow herself to be seen as a pushover.



I'll add more later, maybe -- there are 20 top flight refs in my dbase, but they don't have back stories yet lol.

[The Babbage Islands]

Janneke Mortensen, age 53 from Far Point, North Island, is the chief referee of the Futbala Ĉampionado de Babaĝoj. Her first international assignment was over 20 years ago. As she nears mandatory retirement, Mortensen's technical brilliance compensates for being a step slower than she was in her thirties. She has a reputation as a social butterfly and a no-nonsense administrator. On the pitch, expect a low tolerance for bad language and bad acting.

Parley Wilcox, age 32 from Wye, South Island, is the youngest referee currently certified by the Football Federation of Babbage to work internationally. His father, Walter Wilcox, retired as head referee of FFB ten years ago and brought up his children well (all three are respected football officials). Parley issues cards with a very low frequency.

[Harjeland]

Here's a few:

Sölvi Sigurhansson- Age 40

One of the few Harjelandic referees qualified to oversee international matches, although his experience is centered almost entirely around the 1. Ligaen in Harjeland. He is notoriously tough, with a temper about as long as a fingernail. Generally expect lots of cards when he is refereeing, as he isn't afraid to reach into his pockets. He has a tendency to get too close to the play, however, so he sometimes gets in the way and gives the other team possession.

Leifur Sandergaard- Age 35

Formerly a player in the lower tiers of Harjelandic football, he quickly became a well-respected referee after he retired. He ended his career because of a crippling injury, but now that he's fit he can run as fast as any player on the field. Generally very lenient, he is reluctant to pull out a card unless the foul is significant. Does not tolerate diving or off the ball incidents however.

Alti Arthorsson- Age 67

Very much the opposite of Sandergaard, Arthorsson is well past his prime and huffs and puffs around the pitch. Therefore, he is bad at getting back on the counter and relies on the linesman quite a lot. Although he doesn't give out cards regularly, when he pulls one out it is almost always red. However, he is very experienced, which helps in tricky situations.

[Cotdelapoms]

Damien Brisebois, 40, from Cinq-Rivières- long considered the best and most professional of the Cotdelapomais referees, but recently came into the news for a painkiller addiction. Regardless, he is reliable and can be called upon to referee at any level.

Nelly Dumoulin, 37, from Brossard- the first female referee in Série A history is now being put forth to referee international matches. During the week she is a university professor at Accord, teaching a class in classical Sorthern literature.

[Darmen]

Moved here.

[Ancharmunn]

This list of officials has primarily been produced for use in the upcoming Copa Rushmori. However they can be used in future competitions where realistic - ie in WCC tournaments, UICA tournaments and pan-Rushmori tournaments. All ages are taken at the time of the 9th Copa Rushmori, one year should be added for the World Cup 60 finals and two years every World Cup cycle thereafter.

Name - Rory O'Sullivan
Age - 39 years old
Profession – Bank clerk
Hometown - Ballymairead

In the words of the National Soccer League Match Official Selection Committee – Rory O'Sullivan is widely regarded as one of the leading, if not the leading, referee in Ancharmunn. Armed with an almost meticulous knowledge of the Laws of the Game mistakes by O'Sullivan are rare. A further strength is an ability to easily build a rapport with players in a very short space of time, on many occasions this has allowed O'Sullivan to diffuse tense situations in a very satisfactory manner.

In the words of Atlético Cabañas fans during a controversial Ballyfeeaknock derby with Sorthern Rovers last season - “Shit ref! You're just another shit ref!”

O'Sullivan will be assisted by the following officials -

1st Assistant referee – Ardal Brady, 37, bricklayer, Ballyfeeaknock – Generally competent, though a lack of fitness can sometimes leave him struggling to stay level with the last defender late in games
2nd Assistant referee – Íobhar Mac Seáin, 48, health physicist, Cashlauncarriga – Never quite proven competent enough to be trusted to be the referee for big games, but is nonetheless a generally reliable linesman.
Fourth official – Donal Burke, 33, Database administrator, Caernankry – Widely disliked among managers due to the condescending and overly self-important tone he tends to take in dealing with them when relegated to fourth official duty. Comes down like a hawk on managers who ever so slightly wander outside of their technical area.

----------

Name – Jordan Tucker
Age – 36 years old
Profession – School social worker
Hometown – Sayercooan

In the words of the National Soccer League Match Official Selection Committee – Liked by many for often showing quite a degree of leniency. Extremely fit and never left wanting in his ability to keep up with play. Is however sometimes criticised for dealing with players in an awkward manner and is prone to being pressured into making decisions. His confidence in his ability can be an issue, particularly if a number of players surround him.

In the words of Ballymairead Dynamos fans during a controversial Ballymairead derby with Ballymairead Town last season - “You don't know what you're doing! You don't know what you're doing!”

Tucker will be assisted by the following officials -

1st Assistant referee – Adela Fitzgerald, 31, mine examiner, Caernankry – The first woman to qualify as a top level referee in Ancharmunn. A controversial figure after proving to be very adept at the job leaving those seeking to claim that women cannot referee football matches with no controversial incidents with which to prove that point.
2nd Assistant referee – Toby Alexander, 45, claims examiner, Ballyfeeaknock – Likes to think that attacking players should be given the benefit of the doubt in close offside decisions and then adds some more leeway onto that. A number of defenders have been booked for dissent towards him as a result.
Fourth official – Tiernan Cunningham, 35, butcher, Ballylahun – A sociable fellow, Cunningham can often be found in amicable discussions with managers and coaching staff whilst acting as a fourth official. Often makes the referee's job even more difficult by agreeing with complaining managers. Was once embroiled in a minor controversy when found to be selling meat at a discounted rate to certain managers and players.

[Saugeais]

Saugeain referees

Gaétan Parris - 48 years old from Les Alliés. Average height with a little athletic build to him. One of the main referees for the Saugeais Premier League. Parris is known to flash the cards more often than not in the match, and has a reputation for being the strictest referee in all of Saugeais. He also has an attitude on him, so if any player is just a bit out of line, he will not hesitate to get in the players face to issue the card.

Assistants: Jean Benoit, Denard Francis, Jon Davison

Jean Desrosiers - 52 years old from Arçon. Small, skinny, rather unimposing; he gets along well with the players when he talks to them before, during, and after matches. A former player turned referee, Jean is well known to let the players play, calling fouls at minimum and issuing cards even less.

Assistants: Samuel Franklin, Alton England, Milton McDowell

[Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuk]

Abdian Referees

Emmet Eads - 46 years old, Eads calls a loose game. He is in the "anything goes" mold of referee, and likes to let play continue instead of calling less egregious fouls.

Ashley Matthews - One of five female referees in the Abdian First Division, Ashley has moved onto bigger competitions. 29 years old, she is a disciplinarian, and will not let fouls go uncalled. She does not play the advantage much, and a game with her is bound to see several cards handed out.

[Earent]

Earent's top referee is Pasker Boysin, assisted by Varnik Hosper and Relsh Bayn (the latter is female, the other two are male). They come from the cities of Bloyben, Hearpak, and Brantslaybel respectively. All speak our national language, Earad, but none are great in other languages. They will crack down more on fouls that give a clear gameplay advantage to one side, and so are willing to tolerate lots of verbal abuse from players (at themselves or the other team). They tend not to add on much stoppage time.

[Northern Sunrise Islands]

Matias Carvalho, born on Camaro, San Jose Island, is 29-years old. Top Class of the Referee Academy hosted by the NSIFC, he mainly applies the advantage rule, based on the free football style.

Clyde Smithers, born on Valerton, Dundee Island, is 30-years old. Top Class of the Referee Academy in the following year, Clyde acts the opposite way, rarely applying advantage rules.

[The Icemark]

Sigurd Osgood, a 35 year old former soldier. The Icemark's premier referee. He likes to let the game flow rather than blow his whistle. But he will shoe no mercy to divers or time wasters and issue them straight red cards. He does the same for teams that play the ball into the croner flag at the end of a game, believing it to be a cowardly tactic.

Lokri Pederson, a 41 year old that is card friendly. Most of the games he referees are stop-start affairs just because he likes to blow his whistle so much. He lives a playboy lifestyle and loves to be the centre of attention on the pitch. He has been known to favor northern nations when refereeing international matches

[The Fanboyists]

Riley McClaine (Age: 38) - McClaine is, like most Allamunnic referees, something of a fan of physical play; roughness-related penalties might get a little more of a blind eye from him than from other refs, but cheating and show-boating antics will piss him off extremely quickly, and once his ire is aroused, expect players to be heavily penalized on both teams. Riley, like any good ref, will rarely or never favor one team over another (at least not in an intentional sense; if one team is committing a lot of fouls, they'll get the according penalties), but, that said, he may be overly harsh on both teams.

[Free South Califas]

Amina Rahim, 32, favors a free-flowing and permissive, but not lax, style. She prefers to give players the benefit of the doubt from the start of the match, though her patience for both violence and diving wears thin quickly. Divers should expect cards and players should expect as little interruption as is deemed safe. She prefers to apply the advantage when feasible.

RP Permissions
* No games involving non-human players, staff, officials etc. (I have nothing against that RP style, it just doesn't fit into my RP world right now.)
* If blamed for a bad result, it should be because she didn't award a penalty/card, etc.
* This should be done sparingly or not at all. I may submit a referee who is more vulnerable to blame later, but as long as I have only one, that doesn't really fit with the RP I have going.
