Too cold to do much

I am sure I have mentioned this before, but I really dislike the winter. Especially, this winter. With the polar vortex hitting our area (and pretty much all of the US) and the frigid temperatures, it has been slim pickings when it comes to anything related to reffing. I know that I have not had much of a chance to go outside and run and the traditional eating of this time of year certainly does not help. I have not really done any running in the last couple of months other than to and from the car to the front door! Hopefully we can get things going in time for the March madness that is the weekend soccer tournaments.

On another note, I did find a clip online that I am going to try and show you to see if it generates any comments. It was a play where the question is whether the player was offside or not and did he get involved in play. Really a good teaching moment for those referees that think they have offside down pat. I can't seem to locate it but when I have a moment, I will post the link and see what everyone thinks. In the meantime, stay warm!
