League One referee. About the standard we see down the KP most weeks.

Blimey, gave common sense answers and was confident of scoring 10+. Came in at 3. Must be some weird logic in there.

Why would you award a corner instead of a goal if the keeper cant judge the wind properly? If he cant keep his kick down or read the situation properly, he should be punished

[Soar Fox]

I always thought the referee tossed a coin to decide which end the penalties would be taken and who goes first.

[ousefox]

Suprised how the wind thing would be a corner, stupid rule that. You should play with the conditions you're given.

Didn't know the ref chose the ends for the penos either, that hardly seems fair to me.

Oh and that is the most bizarre reffing quiz you'll ever see

[Bugg]

4 out of 12, oh dear.

[Corky]

4 out of 12.

I could easily ref behind the goal.

[Yojoe36]

What a joke. Unless you get 12, you shouldn't be qualified to be a ref. Fullstop

[ADK]

I got 8/12 which is pretty crap really. Not a ref or anything tho.
