I went to the Blackhawks vs Capitals hockey game yesterday (GO CAPS) and when a less than popular call was made by an official and the oh so popular chant of "Refs You S^CK!" rose from the crowd, I leaned over to my buddy ans said, "I'm no party to this. I want you to see I'm keeping my mouth shut!"

He got a good chuckle out of it! :p

Well Billy, I just kinda found that statement to be just a tetch ironic considering his past actions. And I couldn't find any blue font anywhere either.

As an observant biblical Lutheran, I have chosen to give up giving up things for Lent. :D

When I walk into a gym and see a buddy, I'll tell him to call it both ways. Gets a laugh every time.

I half hope a fan or coach will see us cracking up over that expression and then wonder whether it's a stupid thing to say... maybe I'm naive. :)

No. Still have the same philosophy.
The thread you reference is a "one off situation" from my personal rule of bench decorum. I violated it, admitted it, the situation resolved (and you would be suprised how it was resolved) and I have moved on.
This thread is about the behavior of offiicals as spectators. IMO, there is a difference between the two. Others may disagree, but that is their perogative. (Cue Bobby Brown song)

It must be the poor grammar that makes that humorous.

I just sent you a PM concerning your game.

So the drama is not limited to Hampton Roads?

Normally, I ignore such comments, but something told me turn around. Of course, it was one of the state's top soccer officials busting my chops. (My partner last night is also on the soccer board.)

I don't pretend it was the best heckle, but it's good enough to start this thread. Any other one-liners to/from other officials you care to share?
Several years back at a GV game, the visiting team's scorer is a former official who stopped calling games and was now helping out his granddaughter's team.

All during the game, he's giving a running commentary to the rest of at the table, making many comments along the lines of "A good official would ..."

When he made another comment at the start of halftime and left the table, I told our timer "And an even better official would know to keep his mouth shut." :D

I find it embarrassing when I am watching a game, either as a fan or at a game before or after one that I work, and I see someone I know to be an official yelling about calls. They're the moral equivalent of scabs, and where I come from that's as low as you get.
