Funny statements directed to you

[rgncjn]

We have all been called names, as well as been thefocal point of joke. Which statement (whether you ignored it or not), sticks with you the most?

I had one last night that got me thinking to see what others have experienced.

After an obvious travelling violation that the coach disagreed to...
Coach: Where did you get your officiating license, K-Mart?
Me: It was a blue light special.

Not to change the subject, but did you stick him?

How can you stick a coach for making a smart-azz remark if you're doing the exact same thing as him?

I agree 100%. That is why I did not ring him.

Easy. As Mel Brooks said, "It's good to be the king."

I used to coach, the worse thing I ever said to a ref was-

" You were a losey player when you were in high school, You were a lousey coach when you were coaching and NOW You're a lousey referee"

Yeah, I earned that "T"

Worse thing a coach has said to be, or funniest, " You don't know what I want" I had just "T"ed him up and he was still coming after me verbally, I said "coach settle down you don't want a 2nd "T"

Well, which was he - "losey" or "lousey"? At least he wasn't lousy! Then he would have been bad.

That's funny?

As a coach, I asked a ref one time, "Hey, you need to borrow my glasses?" And he said, "No thanks, they're obviously in worse shape than my eyes." I couldn't help but laugh.

Maybe not the most comical statement I have heard, but I did crack a smile.

Last year we were directed by the head of official development in our association to call more, not less, the players will adjust.

Called plenty of fouls and violations during the first half of a 15 year old girls game, foul count was like 7 - 5. A parent stands up as the second half started and yells "hey ref take your glasses off, your seeing too much!"

I had a coach ask me what game was I watching. I told him appearently no the same one you are......he laughed and sat down....

After fourth readthrough, figured out you need to edit.

I find it particularly offensive to all of us who got our "licenses" at K-Mart!

How much space ya' got?

Good one recently - "That's the worst call I've ever seen." My reply, "So, this is your first game?"
