''You Are The Ref'' is a British comic strip featuring a series of awkward football refereeing challenges, which has run in various publications since 1957. Created by sports artist Paul Trevillion, also famous for Roy of the Rovers, the strip features contributions from several top referees, and was collected into an official book in 2006. Since 2008, it has appeared online on the Guardian website theguardian.com.〔 == Publication history == The evolution of the strip began in 1952 in the Tottenham Hotspur magazine ''The Lillywhite'', which featured a cartoon quiz by Paul Trevillion. The quiz included one question per issue on refereeing. Five years later, ''The People'' newspaper signed Trevillion to produce a dedicated refereeing cartoon quiz, and gave it the title ''Hey Ref''.〔 In the 1960s, the strip began appearing in a much larger format alongside Trevillion's work for ''Roy of the Rovers'' in official ''Roy'' annuals, under the title ''If You Were The Ref''. But it was in 1969 that the strip took on its famous name, when it moved to be part of newly launched children's football magazine ''Shoot''. The strip continued to run until 1983.〔 In 2006, Trevillion agreed to return to ''You Are The Ref'', producing new artwork for the strip for the first time in over 20 years, which was published in ''The Observer'' newspaper. Later that year, a book was published collecting the history of the strip. In 2008, ''You Are The Ref'' also appeared on the BBC's Euro 2008 blog, and on ''The Guardians website.〔 Currently the strip relies on reader submissions for the three questions posed each week. As well as the illustrated questions, each strip includes a portrait of a well-known footballing person. In June 2010, in advance of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, ''You Are The Ref'' was released as an iPhone / iPod Touch game developed by game developer Four Door Lemon.〔() ''You Are The Ref'': iPhone / iPod Touch game.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You Are The Ref」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
