Soccerish Presents | Lori Goes to Ref School

Lori Goes to Ref School is a three-act deep dive into the decisions that shape matches — the ones fans debate, players argue, and TV analysts replay endlessly. Across Grade School → Junior High School → High School, Christina Unkel walks Lori Lindsey through real match scenarios, the laws behind them, and the gray areas where football and refereeing collide. Act I covers early-career lessons — including a Marta–Heather Mitts moment Christina never shared publicly until now. Act II breaks down deliberate handball, continuation fouls, and the ethics of a goal scored through broken nets. Act III goes all in on VAR: why some decisions take so long, what the officials are actually checking, how football understanding informs interpretation, and why referee development in the U.S. still requires patience. This is the referee classroom the audience has been asking for — honest, detailed, and rooted in what actually happens on the field and in the booth. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
