fan opinion
We all know not to take fans criticism as the absolute truth.
An official I know who once refereed at the Olympics told me this story. He was helping out his son refereeing an elementary (something like Grade 7 or 8 level) school game. During half-time, a parent went right up to him and told him that he was the worst official that she had ever seen.
She wondered how long he had been a referee. Supposedly, before he could say a word, his son spoke up for him and the parent went away.
Many fans just do not have a clue about what the rules (or their interpretation) are. Don't let fan opinion get the best of you.
Cheers,
David
