Steve the ref

level 5 senior county referee.
I think this is who I am now. My mates don't like watching football with me anymore

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

Things I've learned from refereeing this season

1) Goalkeepers have the best view of every offside, throw, corner and free kick no matter where it occurs on the pitch

2) 95% of people you meet are great lads.

3) 4% are melts

4) 1% are complete 🛎 🔚 s

@LazyJam Fair point well made.

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

Number of fans of shit clubs moaning about the quality of a champions league final is hilarious.

You're nowhere near lads

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

@LazyJam You've been shite

[🚨The Celebration Police🚨 @PLCPolice]

Arsenal celebrating like they’ve won the league

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

@SUFCRootsHall Whoever takes the job has big shoes to fill.

They'll also have to put up with listening to absolut whoppers if we're not top of the league in october

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

And thats a wrap for the season.

65 games and out.
Thanks to all the players, managers and coaches ive crossed paths with.
We can agree or disagree about a decision but hopefully im building relationships and a reputation of integrity and honesty.

See you in july x

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

Always some controversy when I ref at the London Stadium 🙄

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

@Garry10Johnson @eofl @EssexCountyFA @Jlmarsh1987 Think you more than matched them for big parts of the game. Not a bad way to notch up your 200th goal as well.

Pleasure to be a part of.

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

@CookSearle @EssexSenior @huttonfc @officialswifts @ClaptonCFC @Frenfordfc Im guessing there weren't many teams from the league below who were able to replace them

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

@WakeringSports1 🤣🤣

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

Handsome ref involved in this one for his penultimate game of the season.

League positions dont count for much in Cup semis.

3 games left of the season for me.
Starting today with what may be my last game in the @SceptreLeague21
Cup semi final on Wednesday before the curtain closes on the Olympian next Saturday.

Its been exhausting and I am ready for a rest

[Rug 🐥🏎🏁 @TheRug85]

Sorry, but whilst I understand Labour aren't exactly doing great things, voting for reform based on only what can be about immigration, when Farage is one of biggest culprits for it spiralling in the first place, I find completely insane.

[Steve the ref @thelocalreferee]

Day after elections are always a sea of smugness.

Hilarious to see the number exercising their desire for change by voting for the same people that led us to shit for 14 years.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

This is brilliant.
