Another extended absence, drat. We cover a couple cards, a perfect call, a perfect match and why we need to keep talking.

Delving into the what abouts and the how comes plus a pretty dang serious look into the latest interpretations of the PK.

Stick around till the end of this one as Jadon proves just how silly a referee can be (at a professional match, no less).

Sorry I had to break this into two parts, there have been ISSUES (and yes, that should be capitalized) so I did the best I could to get something out in a timely manner and shall attempt to the second part out in the next not too long. Here we talk about the 4 D's and the role of a mentor (and the grabbing hands).

After several weeks away, the boys return with stories both good and ugly. We'll save the bad for next time.

Jadon and Jonathon ask for your amusing stories (there are specifics so you really should listen to the show and we get to find out if Jonathon truly is crazy-insane.

Can someone please tell Jonathon to get to the point of the story already?

All by myself, I manage to speak of two stories, one old, one new and the shape of things that were.

Speaking of nothing, two referees join the POV this week and things get a bit personal (and emotional...don't cry Jadon, don't cry).

Chris returns for a discussion about retention and what to expect when you're beginning.

Lotso show, a bit of content and plenty of MAIL!!!

Jadon returns for a discussion of send-offs and a rant about coaches.

Jadon stops by to discuss a player of the week and ponders how many cards a team can get before things are "officially" out of hand.

What silliness took place at the boy's tournament last weekend? Here is a small look back.

A new format? Stories of the latest tournament in the 'Ham. And it's not all pleasant.

On the road with yet another new referee to the show. Speaking of the tournament we are returning from and the reason why we officiate at all.

Flying solo to speak of the Baker Blast tournament. Thankfully the show is short, mercifully short.

Out to the tournament we go, talking to a couple of younger referees along the way. We'll get to some of my idiocy next week.

A first for the POV, two guests in the studio. We speak of cards issued, goalkeepers and eventually break into song. The singing is a HUGE mistake.

Jadon returns for a stroll past a crying baby, a crashing computer and many plenty tales from the pitch (and yellows and reds, oh my!).

Someone new stops by the studio to speak of coaches and players and this and that and the who and the what.

Chris again rejoins the show to speak of things official. And an uneventful update.

A look behind the whistle of soccer officials. A quick discussion about a memorable coach, a memorable player and the first caution Jonathon issued in a middle school match (oh, the humanity).
