If the visitors don't like being booed by the disproportionate number of home fans, they should have stayed in bed. What's that got to do with how an official should call the game? I'll answer my own question - nothing!

Unfortunately, there is some truth to the "hometown cooking" syndrome.
So, I try really hard not to do anything to fuel any perception of unfairness.
