Larks, this exchange just sounds like you provoked the situation. Telling guys that they haven't been playing seems insulting. I don't know what transpired before your comment, but I think the T could have been avoided by simply keeping quiet. We all do games where the quality of play is poor, but we can't tell the players they stink. And that's what you did -- or at least, that's how it was perceived. Rule of thumb: the less said, the better.

I disagree. How is "Ok guys, we'll ref and you play" or "Guys, play ball and let us call the game," telling the players that they haven't been playing or that they stink? I don't see the correlation.

Now, I do agree that those words are an ultimatum. But I don't see where it's telling the players they stink.
