Referees are taught a basic diagonal run to try and maximize the coverage on the field. The fundamental rule is from corner to corner, where the corners are the ones not covered by the Assistant Referee's. This gives two pairs of eyes looking in on the action no matter which side of the field they play is on.
Of course this is not a hard and fast rule. There are times when getting down the field ASAP trumps any diagonal considerations. On a break, for example.
Left field
In soccer, when the Ref says to take a knee, that mean to stop playing, and sit down where ever you are. The Ref calls a knee when a player on the field gets hurt. After the player has recovered or is off the field, the game goes on, usually starting with a drop-ball, when the Ref drops the ball between a player from each team. If the play ended with a throw-in, corner kick or goal kick, the play begins with that.

No there is not an age limit for wearing SG stud on your soccer cleats. Some refs might be picky because you can unscrew them and the ref doesn't a stud on the field.

There is an unoffical clock that the staduim displays. The referee maintains the offical clock on the field. This gives the ref more control on the field. MLS tried a time keeper rather then the ref keeping time but the idea went to the wayside like other MLS changes to the game.
