Referee?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Referee?

Had to show you guys this image.

This is the guy that reffed my sons soccer game today. (SERIOUSLY!).
Complete with bare feet, 1970's "Stubbies" shorts (Winnie Blues & lighter in back pocket), and finger whistle method.....inspring to watch!

He ran on after half time with a cigarette in his mouth and then finger whistled both sides back on. Shortly after kick off he moved toward the sideline and flicked the butt off. Great stuff!

To his credit he was actually a damn good ref.

Classic ozzy referee, all he needs now is a stubbie or something.
Great shot though.

A true Aussie. Suppose he left his thongs on the boundary because they were to hard to run in.

I applaude him.

Any one that gives their time to ref a group of unthankfuls (the losing team)is a great bloke.

But did anyone tell him it is no longer the 70's

Fabulous image, Marcus! What a guy!! Maybe he needs to trade his stubbies for fishnets and a pair of heels?

Classic! Well caught.

How can you tell he's not wearing a thong from this photo!!?? and why would he wear more than one? I can image they would be hard to run in though, chafe a bit!

Please tell me you call something other than a G-string a thong!!

aha - now it all becomes clear! The idea of a referee dropping his shorts on the sidelines to take off his G-string (what we call a thong here in good olde blighty) was quite a disturbing thought.

we call the underwear a G string here just like you do. Only the yanks call them thongs.

I stand corrected; it seems to have sneaked over the water into our vocabulary as well

We'll be calling trousers pants next, now that could really confuse.....

Ah yes... Pants...

A wonderful piece of UK slang that hasn't made it over here (or anywhere else) yet... But I know what you mean CC, coz my brother uses it all the time...

Great photo marcus - along with your description, it really gave my wife and I a good chuckle this morning... A real character... He actually reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on it...
Cheers, John

One or two Pants

I can live with Pants - it's the term "Pant" that the fashionistas seem so fond of that I can't bear

Ha ha ha ha..........I still come back to this post and look at my own photo and laugh! Especially now when I see all the comments. Thanks, glad
you enjoyed it as much as me.

Marvin: Maybe you could adjust your avatar slightly to emmulate the classic pose? (I'm still working on changing my avatar since you are the original....it's coming)

Mic: I NEVER drink shandys.........are you showing your true colours?

Stormy: I knew you would have to buy into the Mic/Marcus/Jethro love triangle sooner or later. Looks like it's now a love quadrangle (is that a word?) Beware, we could be in for "stormy weather" pardon the pun.

Charlie: A cryptic question you may now be able to answer (thanks to Stormy) When is a thong, not a thong?

redline: FYO I asked around after the game about this guy, and the word is he is just like a Skyhooks classic. Sorry to get cryptic again!
