You are not going to learn enough by hanging out on an internet discssion board to ever appease you or to make you truly understand the rules and how the game is officiated. This is arguably the most complex sport to officiate in the world and anyone who tries to read the rulebook as back and whiyte is going to have serious problems. Why not join up with your local football officials and REALLY try to learn the game?

I don't, for a second, denigrate the amount of work and study needed to be a good football official. ( I would argue that the baseball rule book is much more difficult to master, but that is another matter)

I think today's college and pro officials are the best the game has ever produced. I just wish the administrators would let the game be in the hands of the officials, not the TV cameras.
