The football referees thread

[North Carcossia and the Hesperides]

I meant to do this sooner, but better now than never… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gianluca da Frixaturo

Age:		35
Gender:		Male
PAEIPS:*	Eccentric

Residence:	Syracuse, Odissia
Supporter:	Sportiva Siracusà

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box:	More of a brisk jogger
Game Flow:	Entirely at his mercy
Rule Book:	More suggestions than anything else
Yellow Card:	Add them to the game generously
Red Card:	May have gotten the two confused
Communication:	Prone to fits of YELLING
Integrity:	Aloof to your earthly money concerns
Consistency:	Dubious (on a good day, that is)

A frankly strange creature, how da Frixaturo got the nod is anyone’s guess. His eccentricity extends all the way to his decision-making, his infamous inconsistency has made him one of Carcossia’s most infamous people and the Carcossian FA have approached their collective last straw with the man. Just avoid him at all costs, accept that your presence on the pitch is at his whim and don’t do anything that looks remotely bad. Or maybe you’ll wind up lucky and get away with drawing literal blood. With Gianluca, who knows?

Assunção dos Santos

Age:		33
Gender:		Female
PAEIPS:*	Professor

Residence:	Castelo Velho, Augustine Countries
Supporter:	Athena Braga

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box:	Might be The Flash in disguise
Game Flow:	Whistles are best used in moderation
Rule Book:	Holier than the Bible
Yellow Card:	If it’s necessary
Red Card:	Apply sparingly
Communication:	Lecturer extraordinaire
Integrity:	Nigh incorruptible
Consistency:	A source of pride

Astute, unflappable and not afraid to ask another set of eyes if she needs to, dos Santos is the kind of referee players dream about—even if those dreams happen to be nightmares. Dos Santos is a disciplinarian on the pitch, shows no favour or prejudice (except against rulebreakers) and takes no shit from anyone. If Assunção is your ref, tread lightly, but at least breathe a sigh of relief that you know exactly what you are getting into.

RP permissions:
Don’t kill them, injure them or make them act biasedly or out of character. Otherwise, go nuts.

[Great Caledonia and North Hybernia]

North Eurasia (My own region where I store all my nations) would like to send 2 referrees to the Baptism of Fire and World Cup 77.

Zuzanna Krzeszewska

Age: 29
Gender: Female
PAEIPS:* Athletic

Residence: Miedzyzdroje, Prusy Krolewskie
Supporter: Pogon Miedzyzdroje

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Always jogging, she never stops	
Game Flow: Uses her whistle only when she needs it	
Rule Book: Follows the book	
Yellow Card: Don't hesitate to hand them out, she's kinda strict.	
Red Card:	Don't hesitate to hand them out, she's kinda strict.
Communication: Always talking to the players, she can encourage them, congrats them when they score a goal (like she says "nice goal"). 
               When a player don't understand why he comitted a foul, she explains him/her. She's very nice and good looking.	
Integrity:	You can't corrupt her. A lot of male players likes her but she never accept an invitation before/after the game.
Consistency: Very consistent

Zuzanna Krzeszewska has 3 years of experience in domestic leagues and none internationally. She quickly became one of the best referree in Prusy Krolewskie and recently got her WCC accreditation. She's strict but she don't whistle for nothing. She's very consistent and impartial. She used to play football in Pogon Miedzyzdroje's youth system but she retired at 22 to start a career in refereeing.

Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig

Age: 67
Gender: Male
PAEIPS:* Unpredictable (secondary trait: Showman)

Residence: Kinlocharkaig, Great Caledonia and North Hybernia
Supporter: Heart of Kinross F.C.

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Always on the run, but isn't fast and can get out of breath late in the game	
Game Flow: Rarely uses his wristle	
Rule Book: It depends of his mood. Sometimes rules are sacred but some other times he let players play. 
Yellow Card: If he don't like your team, he don't hesitate to give yellow cards.	
Red Card:	Same
Communication: Don't communicate much. Sometimes you don't know why he gave you a card or why he whistled for a foul.
Integrity:	You can't corrupt him if he don't like your team. If he likes your team, it's not nessessary cuz he'll favor your team anyway. 
Consistency: Unconsistent

Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig (or Walter MacClintock but he preffer to be called Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig) is a pioneer in Caledonian football. He has 46 years of experience in refereeing and is highly repected in Great Caledonia despite his unconsistency. He tend to favor a team, but you never know which one. He's unpredictable, so he can whistle for a foul, but later in the game, someone commit the same foul and he can let the game going. He doesn't communicate much and is a little deaf so he won't hear your players complaints. Because Great Caledonia and North Hybernia is participating in the Baptism of Fire, it's preferrable he don't referee in the BoF or if he does, it must be a game in Mercedini's side because Great Caledonia and North Hybernia is in Bonesea's side.

I would like to point out that Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig is from Great Caledonia and not from my master Prusy Krolewskie.

[Gregoryisgodistan]

Police Officer UCHEUD89XX
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Personality: Sadistic and corrupt
Residence: District 2, Ward 11
Supporter: Police Squad
Qualities
Box to Box: Runs like he's chasing a perp who just farted and now needs to be captured and executed
Game Flow: Lots of whistles for trivial fouls or just about anything he doesn't like, such as farting. Even more so if you're from an Enemy List nation.
Rule Book: If you're from a nation Gregoryisgodistan is friendly with, like Quebec or West Saintland, you can get away with almost anything. If you're from a nation Gregoryisgodistan doesn't like, the rules will be strictly enforced and then some.
Yellow Card: If he doesn't like you or your country, he'll find a reason to give you one
Red Card: Ditto
Communication: He'll insult those he thinks are heathens. Completely unprofessional.
Integrity: Influenced by politics in his nation, but unsucceptible to foreign influences
Consistency: He does what he wants. Deal with it.

[Savojarna]

Anders Eriksson
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Personality: Professional and a bit cold
Residence: Thorsborg
Supporter: Energie Thorsborg

Qualities
Box to Box: Moves along with the game, but might be a little behind the ball in fast counters. Tends to think ahead enough to be on top of the game though.
Game Flow: Makes use of the advantage rule quite a lot. However, if you win the ball with a foul he doesn't hesitate to whistle.
Rule Book: He tries to apply common sense to the rules but is relatively strict. Lets the game run on if there were mutual or accidental fouls with no/little influence on the game, but generally he takes the rules serious.
Yellow Card: Average - he is a little more lenient if you simply happened to be late, but he is very quick to show it if you don't play by the rules.
Red Card: Tries to avoid it since he believes in second chances, but if you do something that clearly merits one, off you go.
Communication: Tries to explain his calls and speak to players before he cards them. But if you don't listen to him or keep protesting, be ready for that yellow.
Integrity: The only thing you can bribe him for is to come to a bar with you by promsing him a drink. But no way you'll corrupt his referee-ing.
Consistency: Sometimes appears inconsistent due to his leniency on things happening without bad intent. But apart from that, usually consistent.

Konstantin Ergonyev
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Personality: Friendly, but very passionate about things
Residence: St. Andrei
Supporter: Traktor St. Andrei

Qualities
Box to Box: Not very fast, but has a great stamina.
Game Flow: Play on, mostly.
Rule Book: He is relatively strict on harsher fouls, but lets slip the borderliners. For him, a little pushing and pulling is part of the game.
Yellow Card: Only pulls it when he deems necessary, but has a very quick hand if you dare to start discussions.
Red Card: Not unless you try to get one. Doesn't have hesitations to show you your second yellow if he thinks it's needed though.
Communication: He thinks that the ref should be an authority. If you ask him nicely, he'll explain friendly. But if you complain he tends to shout at you.
Integrity: He is an avid Traktor (and Savojarna) supporter and suspected to favour results even with marginal benefit for his teams. Not corrupt though.
Consistency: Usually quite stable but when he gets angry at players (which happens a lot if they complain about calls) he gets very strict with them.

Experience: 25 Years in Royal League of Tomikosan
Bio: Townsend is the considered to be the 'King of Referees' in his local hometown, Astria. When he first came to the Fountain of Faith, Townsend once threw a coin in and wished to become the most famous referee in Tomikosan. By the age of 25, he was selected by the RLT after he impressed the bosses during a youth game. Since then, Townsend is beloved by the fans, managers, players and even the pundits for his fair calls for fouls and zero prejudice for both sides of his teams. He once believed that diving 'is a sinner's way to get free kicks and penalties'.

Name: Kayley Richter
Age: 30
Sex: Female
Species (Human, Elf, Earth Pony, etc.): Human
Type of Referee (Assistant, Head): Head
Level (U-15, U-21, Senior, All): Senior
Experience: 5 Years in Royal League of Tomikosan/1 Year in Friendlies
Bio: Born in the city of Kanzig, Richter was known for being a hot-headed girl. She often hurt the other girl's feeling and blames them when she loses a competition or it doesn't go in her way. However, with a bit of self-control and calmness, Richter can be one of the few well known female refeeres in Tomikosan. She can send the players off for even a slightest tackle to the opponents legs and used force to separate players from fighting. Because of this, she is referred to as the 'Angry Bird'.

[Qasden]

Beta Xandreas
Age: 48
Gender: Female
Personality: Positive & naïve
Residence: Marbles, Qasden
Supporter: The Port FC; Taxson Rovers
Qualities
Box to Box: Speedy, but can easily get winded
Game Flow: Silent, unless someone pulls off a dangerous or harmful maneuver, than she'll go full ape.
Rule Book: Rather wants the players to "have fun". At the same time, she's more of a "safe than sorry" kinda ref and will make a few bad calls or so.
Yellow Card: Only if some form of gameplay frightens her mother senses will she card.
Red Card: If someone injures a player in a manner she finds upsetting, especially her son
Communication: Almost as if she were a peewee soccer coach herself.
Integrity: Can be lured into small talk sometimes, but tries to keep her head in the game.
Consistency: A soccer mom, but as a ref basically. As long as she deems both teams ok, the game should flow smoothly and every player gets a juice box.

Tenzing Cheltzer
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Personality: Bland, just bland
Residence: Fyre-Destiny Metropolitan Area, Qasden
Supporter: Destiny FC (though the Fyre clubs provide a bit more fun. But no, he likes Destiny)
Qualities
Box to Box: You're typical run-of-the-mill ref speed. Can get cocky with it sometimes.
Game Flow: A whistle every now and then, but really just wants the game to continue for a quicker ticket out.
Rule Book: Stickler. Can't talk him out of any call he makes.
Yellow Card: If the shoe fits, then constantly.
Red Card: Pretty much the same reason
Communication: He'll give a verbal warning or two to players, but most of the time he's completely mute.
Integrity: Doesn't like his job, but doesn't want to get fired, so he must suck up any bias he has to ensure a quick and incorrupt match.
Consistency: As bland as the rule book itself. Chances are you'll probably only get whistled if it were a correctly accused motive

Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig, now 68 years old, has recently been named vice president of the Alpine Football Association (AFA). He's not affraid to tell his opinion about different things or nations even if he's wrong most of the time. And while he's the vice president of the AFA, he's still a referree so he has two hats.
