Feels Good to Vent
I ref soccer in the spring and fall, and I avoid the post-game handshakes completely. I've had a coaches try and chew me out after the game. Most don't, but the occasional sore loser isn't worth the risk.
From a personal stand point, there ain't nothing more two-faced than a guy saying "Great Job" after complaining after every call for 90 minutes.
The key part is at 1:19. Even professional refs deal with it.
I think the "Why" is the more important part. This year the soccer assignors don't have enough bodies to throw at the games since more and more kids don't want to ref anymore.
