Replacement of the referee

Dear followers, 

These days, the role of the referee in the sport usually goes past unperceived. On the one hand, most people don´t know the progress that this collective must follow to practise their job (in this case into the football pitch), the steps that they have to follow to rise in each category and the requests of those, as psychology as physical.

On the other hand, the physical training of the referee is very similar to the players of the elite. Maybe, we think that is not usual that a referee will be replaced during the football match. Whereas, this is a situation that it can happen, because the referees, as athletics that they are, they can suffer any kind of injury.

Is here where the figure of the fourth referee appears. A person, who goes by unperceived by the majority of the spectators, and whose role is stand in for some referee, who would be injured. In addition, the fourth referee should assist to the principal referee to write the changes, the cautions and the expulsions.

In the professional category, generally is a judge of the line, who replaces to the collegiate member and the fourth referee becomes in an assistant referee. In this way the roles of each one are different.
