It ends with a bang

I guess this guy is suffering from "DKPY" (Doesn't Know Padgett Yet) syndrome. You can always tell a newbie.

AJ - welcome to the group. Eventually, you'll be able to tell when someone is just kidding. FYI - the sarcastic eyerolling smilie is a dead giveaway.

Sounds good. I'll have to get that syndrome checked out by my doctor!!! A fellow official made me aware of this forum...said good things about it. I decided to check it out. I've been reading and catching up. Happy to be on board.

I expected this one to be "Brightly Brightly Colored Colored Candy Candy Shell Shell", since it's brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.

I hate to comment about the OP but I actually had a call that caused overtime...not a call I passed on to keep it from OT, one that I made that caused OT .....8C2 (the worst of the 8th grade teams LOL) ...Visitor is ahead by 2 10 seconds left....home passes the ball around it eventually goes out of bounds...I don't have a great look but I am pretty sure it is Home's ball again...I call it that way...as I am signalling I am thinking you DumbDexter, you could go home in 4 seconds.......then I think it is 8th grade C they can't score in 4 seconds.....damn C teams....they score and to OT we go LOL...the ironic part is that the coach for the Home team is an official we work with all the time, and he even called me a dumbdexter for giving him the ball back LOL...

SWEET! I was hoping for a directory like this.... course after you read a few thousand threads, you kinda figure it out for yourself. This is great!. I enjoy everything you guys bring to the forum. Keep up the good work.
