I am not just a fan sitting on my lazy butt... Like I said, I have friends that are in officiating and we talk about things like this all the time. MOST OF YOU ARE GREAT at what you do... But the only thing that is annoying is that when you make a mistake, most officials never admit. To be honest most bad officials are the ones who think they are more important to the game than the players. Their ego's get in the way of their ability to do a good job. I think 85% do a very good job, the 15% that ruin it for you guys should be fired. Keep of the good work and if you guys are as good as you say... PLEASE come to the ACC.

1)I talked to an airline pilot friend of mine too. Now I can fly a 747.

2) Most officials? And how do you know this? Because we don't call YOU when we make a mistake? What is the % of officials that won't admit it, btw? 51%/ 73%? 94%? Would you cite something that will back up this statement?

Keep going, fanboy. Maybe you can be a Judge when you grow up. You're well on the way.

JurASSic, it is obvious you are the official that everyone hates... The rest of the forum has respected my opinion and let me be, even if they disagree. You don't like cops (criminal or stupid traffic violater for sure) and you must be miserable and are officiating so that you may make other miserable as well. GET A LIFE.

I beg to differ. Most of us are just ignoring your ignorance and letting the Jurassic one deal with you. Don't mistake silence for agreement.
Besides that, Jurassic never said he didn't like cops. Jrut did, and he's got his own reasons which many of us may or may not agree with. It's irrelevant here.
Read the posts carefully before you start attacking the officials in here. For that matter, read the rules carefully before you start attacking referees out there.

ponyboy,
How do you know ACC officials are out of position? I have a hard time believing a major D-1 conference would continue to hire lazy refs who don't get into position, especially on a regular basis. I'd be willing to make a wager (while I'm in Vegas for about 12 more hours) that your ref friends (if they exist) aren't reffing D-1 ball and don't have the credentials necessary to critique D-1 officials.
You just made my point for me for another troll who came strolling through her about a month ago. Every D-1 fan across the country thinks the officiating in his conference is the worst. My friends think it's the worst in the Big Ten. Others in Iowa think the Big 12 is the worst. We had an Arizona troll in here who thought it is the worst in the Pac-10, and now you think it's worst in the ACC.
King Solomon was right, "There is nothing new under the sun."

No, I certainly don't respect you personally or your opinion. Your opinion solely consists of mindlessly crapping on my fellow officials, without giving ANY reason other than "they're terrible". You haven't posted one damn thing that could be logically discussed by us. Officials here have tried to explain a few things to you, but you absolutely refuse to listen. The only reason that you showed up here in the first place was with the sole intention of just indiscriminately dumping on officials. Works both ways, fanboy! Do the exact same thing to you that you do to us, and all you can do is whine "you're not fair". Go away. There's plenty of fan boards out there, and all kinds of fanboys that will agree with your opinion.

Sorry, Goober. When it's a choice between one of my fellow officials or you, you lose.

I think you need to read the post as well. I said that I do not repect all cops, because when they abuse their power it affects people's livelyhoods, not just a chance at winning a game. But you do not seem me running around and telling them how to do their job, when I have never been a cop in my life. It would be like a cop telling me how to get sales in my profession. If you have not done it before, you are not the best person to give advice on the topic.

Peace

I have never seen an officer abuse his power in person in 7 years of law enforcement. It does happen every once in a while, but I would say 99.5% of the claims are complete BS.

Well how do you think we feel when you come here with your BS about how the officials screwed up a game?

About the police situation, I can tell you that the city I live around had many cases thrown out and death penalty sentences revoked, largely because of police coruption. This of course is not subject to every police force in the county, but it happens.

Peace

The only people who dislike cops are criminals... 90-95% of the people who say they were wronged by the police are liars, and I feel bad for the other 5-10%. I do everything in my power to make sure that I never do that. I work narcotics, both uniformed, plain clothes, and undercover. I see the worst of the world... If police officers weren't around, I would hate to see what you block would look like. Yet, you aren't fond of cops, what a joke. How about we all just take a day off of work and see how much more you'll like us then.
Most of the cops I know (and I know quite a few) would be shaking their head at your poor attitude. I don't care what you do for a living...because you've quite obviously got no LIFE.

What part of "piss off" don't you understand?

Whoops, sorry....what part of "piss off" don't you understand, OFFICER?

Again, officiating for about 98% of us is not a job. It is something we do on the side. But I know that Cops like yourself always try to tell the public how hard your job is and why you had to hit that guy over the head with your stick and you idiots almost always keep your jobs, even when found to be crooked. Please, save the sob story for your union.

Peace

There are enough bad cops for us to take note. There are enough cops that abuse/relish/love their power to the extreme for us to take note. One day a couple of months ago a cop was waving/stopping traffic in front of a church. He waved for me to go and I went. He got excited and waved for me to stop where he was. He says "you have to slow down" and I say "I have to go!" What I meant was I have a stick so I had to take off. I wasn't going too fast, he just wanted to flex. He didn't have a valid point so he just waved me on. Was I supposed to be scared because he was a cop? I think he thought so, I though NOT.
You can say all you want about a percentage of the refs or whatever. You, along with most fans, don't know all of the rules that we have to enforce so you whine and show ignorance. I least when it comes to cops we know the rules!
