In your opinion, is this 20 yr old a good referee? Have you talked to others?

I have NO problems when good things happen to good people - i don't care about age, experience, looks, etc.

I always try to look at myself and others objectively. If I can look myself and my peers (whether at work or refereeing) and say - that guys better than me and should be where he is, I have no issues and I need to work harder on x, y, and z.

I can certainly understand being passed over or passed by, image/appearance, cronyism, the good ole boy system, or having a "sugar daddy," etc. (and we've had those discussions before.....several times, and lifes not fair, and yada yada, humma, humma, etc).
