View from Female Referee in Kenya
Here’s an interesting short clip (what the BBC call: African Football Shorts) about 32-year-old female referee, Tabitha Wambui, who referees in the Kenya Premier League.
Wambui says:
When you know the rules of the game and you apply them, nothing is hard.
“The best referee is one who has the courage to make decisions even when it would be easier not to.” — Pierluigi Collina.
This blog agrees with Collina's definition and therefore advocates optimum officiating for the good of the game. A good game is fair, safe and enjoyable, with the Referee playing a part.
