I like the last point. I have seen many good officials and many bad officials, but I can honestly say that I have seen very, very few biased officials. And they don't last very long.
I have gone so far as to invite a fan (one that I know) who makes the claim "all the refs hate my team" to an out-of-town game where he really doesn't care who wins. The transformation is increadable. You begin to hear things like "you guys really can referee" or, more likely "I wish we could get a good officiating job like that at home".
The thing that poeple don't understand is that we are the only 2 (or 3) people in the building that really could care less who wins.
