I agree that future909 needs to step back and ask him/herself if their assessment of the situation is accurate.

I do stand by my observation of the conflict of interest, if Future909 officiating style is impacted by his/her employment relationship with the boss.
Have you considered that perhaps Future90's "officiating style" needs to be imapcted by this person?

Lots of officials are a little slower and maybe not quite as sharp as they once were. Many don't want to hang it up. I know I'm not looking forward to that day.

But just because someone is a few steps slower or may disagree with a young official's call, it doesn't mean their heart is not in it. There's a lot to be learned from a lot of these guys.

Let's not disparage every official over the age of 50 with generalizations, just because they're over 50.

Quite honestly, Future909 reminds me of a lot of young bucks when he says, "He is one of those people who thinks he knows everything." I was a young buck once. Then I found out that it was me who thought he knew everything.

Now I'm just old (44), arrogant, and set in my ways.
