4.0 out of 5 stars Referee resource, 24 Mar 2009
By 
Ferenc Korompai (Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an excellent instructional tool for entry and midlevel referees. It has an easy to follow format of diagrams, lists and questions (with answers). Whenever a book is based on the current Laws of the Game some parts are likely to become passe as the Laws are modified. The remarkable permanence of the Laws and the durable advice in this work give assurance that this book retains its relevance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read, 24 Nov 2003
By 
David Ager delivers with this informative and helpful book ideal for soon to be referees or for referees just wanting to top up their knowledge.

Not the greatest read for a non-ref but a good book all the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Rules/Referee's Book Out There - Now Updated, 20 May 2004
By S. Winegarden "nedragen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Soccer Referee's Manual (Paperback)
This is by far the best rules/referee book out there. It has "test your knowledge" in every section that test basic and advance knowledge, including good examples that sound like gray-area interpretations, but are well explained. The book covers all aspects of FIFA rules, but presents them in a different order than an "official rules" book.

The book also includes the Rules of the Game, discussion of the Cooper Fitness Test, and advice for pre-game preparation, completing post-match paperwork, and what assessors are looking for. Also has great advice for dealing with coaches, pre-game instructions, and working the diagonal system of control.

The book is applicable for US referees, although it does deal with the duties of the club assistance ref differently than US Soccer Federation (minor in nature).

Not just a dry rules book, the author writes well and interjects good advice based on years of experience. This is one of my two primary reference books for soccer referee material.

NOTE: This manual does not include any organizational specific rules (e.g., AYSO, USYS, etc) or guidance on smaller-sided field dimensions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best rulebook available for soccer referees, 10 Mar 2000
By R. F. Cooney "shannonelizabeth" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Soccer Referee's Manual (Paperback)
This is a great resource for soccer referees at all levels. It covers all of the Laws of the Game and how to interpret them. There are excellent self-test questions for each topic covered. This is a book that you will consult time and time again, often learning or realizing something new each time you pick it up. Reasonably priced for all that it covers. I found it to be much better than other books, such as those by Lover, etc. If you're looking for just one book for yourself, or as a gift, pick this one - it's fun and superbly done.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for referees at any level., 30 Sep 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Soccer Referee's Manual (Paperback)
This book is well-organized and easy to read. I learn something new every time I read it, which is often. Thought-provoking, quiz-type questions are sprinkled throughout, followed by answers complete with the logic underlying them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of the laws of soccer.
