Field Director: The essential role of the referee in a football match.

Hi friends! Yesterday night day I ejoyed a football match between Argentina and Egypt. After that the supporters of Egypt and a few of Argentine supporters criticized the referee.They think the referee was biased. I am going to tell something about a referees duty. The referee play the biggest role in making a football match beautiful, orderly and enjoyable. He is not just a judge on the field, but also the director and guardian of the entire game. The role of a referee in a football game is discussed in simple terms below.

The referee's greatest quality is impartiality. It is not the referee's responsibility to see how big a team is on the field, how popular a player is. For him, both teams are equal. He has to make decisions every moment based on the rules, without any bias, with complete honesty.

Football is a fast-paced and physical game. Therefore, tension often builds on the field. The referee has to maintain discipline on the field through the correct use of his whistle and cards (yellow and red cards). It is the referee's responsibility to strictly control any player who intentionally hurts another person or takes unfair advantage.

The referee has to make decisions on any foul, handball or offside on the field in the blink of an eye. There should be no hesitation in him when making this decision. He should always make bold and correct decisions, ignoring the screams of thousands of spectators in the stadium or the pressure of the players. In the current era of VAR technology, the referee should also have the mentality of admitting his mistake and seeking the help of technology if he is wrong about something.

One of the main tasks of the referee is to provide safety to the players on the field. If he sees a serious foul or dangerous play, the match should be stopped immediately and disciplinary action should be taken, so that the players are protected from any major injury or harm.

It can be said that the referee is the symbol of the law of football. A skilled and good-hearted referee not only controls the game on the field, but also maintains the true beauty of football and the spirit of 'fair play' through his beautiful management.
