4.0 out of 5 stars Dated, but a worthwhile perspective, December 30, 2003
By 
Rich P (California) - See all my reviews
Published in 1976, this is hopelessly outdated in terms of interpreting many of the laws of the game, particularly laws 11 (offside) and 12 (fouls). However, as a monograph on the philosophy of refereeing, or how to think about the game as a referee, it is very good. As a new youth referee, I have found a small number of books on this subject so far, and this is definitely worth reading, so long as the caveats on laws changed since 1976 are observed.

Note: one might think that author Eric Sellin was inspired by the excellent 2001 book - For the Good of the Game, by Robt. Evans and Ed Bellion. In fact, it seems he excerpted small pieces from the 25-year later work verbatim. The explanation is found in the footnotes, which give credit to magazine articles and pamphlets written by Robt. Evans early in his referee career.
