I don't know about you guys, but if I admitted a ref messed something up when I'm watching a game, the response would be something like "wow, ref, you suck, I've got a REAL ref right here who said you missed that, blah blah blah..." and that's not good for anybody. If you don't give the people around you anything the first couple times they ask, they'll stop asking.
Our association also has a code of ethics that basically says if refs are attending games they are not officiating, they still need to conduct themselves the same way they would if they were officiating. Basically, don't act like an ignorant fan.
