Still officiating, if you can believe it

Just posted the latest podcast for Referee POV and will apologize for the sound quality. Received a new portable MP3 recorder for the holidays, recorded Jadon and myself in a car and boy, howdy is that lil' thing sensitive.

With any luck, you'll forgive me the background noise and appreciate the fact I got a new episode out.

Thanks again for your continued support.

A new show!!!

Hey All,

Jadon FINALLY made his way over and we put a show on wax. I will be editing the thing in the next few days and posting Show 22 by the end of the weekend.

Thanks again for your patience. We are still producing, albeit, irregularly.

Fail.

Hey All,

I got called up to the National Team and won't be available to podcast this evening with Jadon so more delays are stacking up to keep the show from being recorded.

Actually, I got a last minute meeting I need to attend tonight for the kids' school (no, he's not in trouble or anything, just a fundraiser), so Jadon and I will have to reschedule...again.

Silly life all being busy...

Dang Jadon

Ok,

Jadon went and got himself a real live full time gig and I am spending the majority of my time either watching the brood or working on my book, so as you can tell it has been a while since we've had a show.

But good news all. Assuming Jadon doesn't pick up the H1N1 going around at his workplace, he is planning on relating a couple fun stories he has (and I have something entertaining myself), next Wednesday. If he should actually make it over, I should have something up on Halloween day or November 1.

Thanks for the patience.

Jonathon

Tarnation!

Hey All,

Still alive on this end and finally back out on the pitch (at least I think that's what I was doing). Jadon has a couple stories, maybe, but finally got himself a real-life full time job so it may be a bit before I can wrangle him back into the studio for a few minutes to have a chat.

Thanks for the emails lately with the questions and comments. We'll be sure to address everything when we can get our acts together enough to produce another show.

I've got a couple low level games next weekend so I should have at least one story about silly coaches or parents (and we all love those, don't we?).

A Jadon this way scampers

Ok,

I will not mess up the recording this time, I almost promise. That said, Jadon is scheduled to stop by Thursday, September 3 to record the next podcast. I have a pretty hectic weekend in store, but should be able to get something out the first part of the following week.

Thanks again for all your support and we'll try to keep you humored.

Ah, Part 2...

It took a bit of time out of my stimulating Saturday afternoon to kick Part 2 in the head on get it off my computer to the interwebs. Thankfully, it wasn't nearly as much trouble as Part 1 and with any luck I can get silly little Jadon over here this week to record a bit.

Sorry to say, I have painfully little news from the girl's tournament a couple weekends back. I was hoping for a thrill-fest of cards, dissent, broken bones and complete carnage. Instead, it was an extremely laid back tournament (from my seats anyway), I issued a whopping two cautions, one each in two matches, for essentially the exact same foul (reckless contact after the ball had been played away). No protesting from the players (one actually apologized to the girl she had just flattened), no problems from the coaches or parents. Even the PK I called in the first minute of one match was met with nary a word from anyone. At the half, the AR mentioned that the coach of the player who committed the foul, stated he was surprised his player was still on the pitch after the foul. From my point of view, it was a foul and nothing more, but I can certainly see where it may have looked worse from the touchline.

I hope to have something to you in the next couple weeks. There is the boys tourney this coming weekend (as well as the Fair!!!), so there should be something to talk about.

Thanks again for checking out the show.
