Dickie E, this is for rugby purposes only!

 

[Ciaran Trainor]

I wouldn't.
I think it would be pretty uncomfortable if not impossible trying to run around like that and difficult to control whistle tone.
I remember one of my old colleagues trying to use a hand operated whistle.
Players were confused as hell, part of the refs toolkit is to start to raise the whistle to your mouth and players react and more importantly whistle tone.

No.

And thankfully i won't have to.

Hopefully, for the first time in over a year, I will be officiating in some kind of role next Saturday 28th.
In about 40 degree heat.

Wearing something like that on a plastic pitch in the middle of a Montreal heat wave would be awful. I would either vomit into the mask and die, swallow the whistle and die, or do both and die.

If prone to dying in less than great circumstances, can I suggest that if you get a call from David St Hubbins, Derek Smalls, or Nigel Tufnell asking you to sit in on drums for a while, you should respectfully decline?

Very good advice indeed. But given that I am utterly without musical talent, I don't think I have to fear being invited to sit in that particular hot seat.

That never stopped anyone else in ver Tap

Don’t knock it until you try it!

Well done and congratulations on using Celsius (assuming you did).

Very true. And the opportunity to turn the volume up to 11 might be hard to turn down.

I would like that comment if there were a Like button
