I've got news for you, coach. You're never going to see positive results from this one. You're telling me, "You're cheating us." I'm not going to listen to that and I don't know any other official who is either.
Advice
1- If you want me to listen to you and to talk to you, speak to me in the same manner that you want to be spoken to.
2- Never say anything that accuses me of favoring the other team. I'm not there to favor either club. Accusing me of cheating will just get you a deaf ear. If you continue with it, it'll get you a seat. (It amazes me that coaches still haven't figured this one out.)
3- Don't use announcerspeak terms like "over the back" or "reachin!" It tells me that you don't know the rules, which means that nothing I say will matter. So I'm not going to say anything.
Hope that helps!
