House Rules

I. GENERAL REMARK

1. This blog is acting independently from national or international football federations or referee associations and is thus able to offer a neutral perspective on the world of football refereeing. It is targeted at exposing neutral, precise but constructive criticism on aspects linked with officiating. It is not aimed at bashing referees for their performances.

The articles' contents published on the blog are written to the best of my belief, as well as our referee observation reports are written to the best of our belief and knowledge, too.

3. This blog is the wrong place to verbally insult referees in an abusive manner for a general purpose or after matches, i.e. after their performances, and to raise conspiracy theories without evidence and good knowledge.
