My thought at seeing this comment was why should anyone care where/when you're booked for the next game? Aren't we supposed to call what we see - without being influenced by anything else?
dsqrddgd909:

Generally speaking your observation is correct. However; as you advance in your understanding of officiating you will begin to develop personal preferences, officiating philosophies and so on....

My interpretation of comments that appear persnickety are most often just that.... officials airing their displeasure about significant difference in officiating philosophies or more frustratingly working with someone who extremely lacks rules knowledge, mechanics, and game management skills.


Now if you don't mind, I will go back to my reclusive corner and dig into my rule book.
