IMO the responses were, for the most part, hardly our best moments here. It is possible her judgement was clouded by being a parent of one of the players. Of course it IS possible the refs sucked big time, let's face it some of us are not so good at this and even the best have an off night. It IS possible she just wanted to come here & vent. It IS possible we could have discussed the details of the game. It IS possible we could have talked her out of calling the assignor (it's also possible we would have encouraged her to call the assignor). It IS possible our collective response could have been something more thoughtful than "go away you idiot fan".

Sorry, Dan. Her accusation that the referees cheated was over the top..beyond venting and beyond what any official would say. She acted like an irrational fan and was accorded the appropriate responses.
