Mostly I wonder why fans - players - coaches think that they know how to officiate better than officials with years of experience when they have never blown a whistle in their life. Don't get me started on fanboys sitting at home in front of the TV.

Yesterday, B18U Championship Rec Ball Game. My partner is a senior V official and some of the former V players know him and are in the gym chirping at almost every call. Yap, yap, yap. I just wanted to stop the game, give them a whistle and say, "Go ahead, your up Sparky!"

We ignored them.

Miraculously the game ended and some of them were happy and others not. Gee, who woulda thought?
