But first I want to notify you on a recently started blog by Matt Leary. He blogs as the AldershotRef and publishes his referee ramblings and an interesting post how he prepares for the first match of his season. Check out the AldershotRef Website.

Swedish referee Facebook page

The idea was great. Swedish referee Mohammed Al Hakim explained match situations from a refereeing point of view on his Facebook page.
