Worst Display of Officiating Ever!

[Adam]

SmokeEater,
This may very well have been the worst officiating in the history of paid officials. Or they may have been volunteers. I don't know. I would say that the system, as you described it, is flawed. But it seems like it is geared towards volunteers rather than people of actually officiate for money. It's easier to get people to ref for free if they don't have to get sweaty.

That said, you are free to rant here. Just don't expect much sympathy from officials here for your ranting. Most of us have done those tournaments where we work about 5 or 6 games in a row and are ready to snap at any given parent who even thinks the words "three seconds" by about the 4th game. We've had games where we know we didn't do the best job in the world. But we also know that 99.9% of the people telling us we suck can't find the oxygen necessary to blow in a whistle. Too bad they can't divert it from their a$$.

When fans rant here, we tend to bite back. Questions from fans are welcome with two caveats.
1) Accept our answers without bickering too much.
2) Don't try to whine in the form of a question. We can usually recognize that.
