Just a parent from Vancouver, Canada here but I registered on this site just so I could say a big thanks to all the regular contributors.

I refereed soccer for many years, always seemed to get the 18U game of the week in my local association, and know how important it is for parents, players and spectators to know the rules of the game they are watching.

Plus even after reading the rules you guys provide some real life intrepretation of how to apply the rules in specific situations.

I think more parents and coaches should lurk on your site.

On behalf of the regulars, you are welcome.

BTW, I think the key word to your last sentence is "lurk". Don't mind helping out with folks and rules, but we don't need to become like some boards where the question is asked, receives a qualified answer and then the author wants to argue the point.

We do enough of that amongst ourselves without outside influence ;)
