What nine (9) things does a football referee bring on the football pitch with him (he's wearing clothes so don't add them) ?

Hmmm...

Whistle
Notebook
Pen
Yellow card
Red card
Coin (? For the toss? OK getting desperate now!)
Watch
Spare watch (? I know some refs wear 2!)
Er, their brain (although in the case of some refs this appears to be optional).

Er, I'm stuck now...

Can anyone else add (realistic) choices to these? (I'm probably missing something really obvious! Call myself a footie fan!)

Thought of another possibility:

the new electronic gizmo thing that tells the ref when the linesman has put his flag up?

How many's that?!

Missed a fairly obvious one there! :lol:

I'm a ref and forgot the ball also !!! :)

But I got the nine because I always carry a pen and a pencil.........when it's cold and wet pens have a habit of not working and pencils can break !

What about the radio communication? Or are we talking at all levels? Because then your question is rather flawed.
