But, having a short fuse and a fast finger gets you far less repect than you may think.

If you take the time to excell at the above-mentioned list, your not going to be tested as much as you think. That doesn't mean you won't have to pull the trigger. But when the time comes, the players will know that their teammate is gone because you gave them enough rope to hang theirself with.

IMO, thats a good official.

Theirself is not a word.
