@arlowhite Yeah for now. If they keep improving, they will be a rival eventually but for now I am cheering for them.

[Paul Risdall @MnReferee]

A good reminder for this referee that dangerous tackles need to be dealt with. Also, it’s possible to get two footed, have no foul called, and still not berate the referee.

@COsoccerpod @SacRepublicFC It’s a great story.

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@AnfieldWatch 1. VVD by a tiny bit 2. Allison 3. Salah. Could make a case for any of these 3 though.

@MSHSLjohn We sometimes use coms for soccer as well, but they are open mic so it’s a constant flow of communication. They cost more though, so there aren’t many refs that have them. UMAC colleges provide them for the ref crews.

@SouhanStrib @MSHSLjohn I’ve had the privilege of working with Tim and his son several times on the basketball court. He’s a great ref/mentor and we share a Delano connection too!

@ChrisGalati5 @PadmaLakshmi Same! Except I put the cooling rack upside down on my bacon to keep it from curling.

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@IanDarke Yes! Great news

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@COsoccerpod How excited are you about the community shield? I know it’s not a real trophy but I can’t wait!!! Liverpool v City, yes please.

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@MaxBretosSports @barstoolsports @dgarciae27 I think the inference is they are all getting sold to Man City. 😂😂😂

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@CMK_COYS @COsoccerpod It’s awful, but still present. 😂😂😂

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@CMK_COYS @COsoccerpod Or lack-thereof

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@CMK_COYS @COsoccerpod Your not wrong, but the hairline should factor as it is probably the most recognizable sign of aging. I have Fanna by a hair.

[Paul Risdall @MnReferee]

Someone asked me the other day why I referee. They said, “Is it worth it with all the abuse you guys take?” Honestly, it started when I needed a way to make some extra cash. Now it has become so much more.

@paulstmartin Ketchup is for bad fries.

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@herculezg @opencup I heard about the whip around show this morning on Grant Wahl after the fact…would have loved to have watched it.

[Paul Risdall @paulrisdall]

@COsoccerpod @agundling hasn’t complained about the pod being too long in ages. 😂😂 No worries. I’ll just skip Men in Blazers this week.
