Joe, you just replied from an official's perspective. You are a ref! You know that we're all going to make mistakes. You also know that if you want to develop into the best official that you can be, you need to learn from those mistakes. The better officials simply make fewer mistakes than others, and also tend not to repeat their mistakes. Fanboys, and some officials unfortunately, never look at things from that perspective. All they see is a missed or blown call, and it becomes a conspiracy against their favorite team.

Good luck in your officiating career.
