Loved the example and if only this type of teaching were available for referee training, it would make it so much easier for us women.
Just to make a point, I qualified as a lowly class 3 ref at the age of 35 - certainly wished that I'd done it before - its a great party piece, knowing verbatim the 'off side' law!
In case you were interested too unfit and slow now to keep up with play, but at least I'm honest enough to admit it - shame some of the men can't do the same!

ps David wasn't too pleased when I passed - it meant sleeping with the ref.....

Sweethearts - whether masc or fem - as far as I am concerned the only "rules" which count in a shoeshop are those of whichever version of Rugby uses the scrum..........and you are all at silly mid off in my opinion!! Enjoy!!

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Ice hockey and rugby, now your talkin. Nice pair of Italian designer shoes wouldn't go amiss either! :) [/FONT][/COLOR]
[QUOTE=d65]You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.
The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.
She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!
At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!
BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE![/QUOTE]
Heard of it , but it's a good 1 . lol:)
