Announcers Should Announce

I'm simply saying in closely contested games, players and coaches know they can gain an advantage if they can get a favorable call from the official.

OMG !

The players and coaches will work you for that call at every opportunity they get.

OMG !

As an official, we need to be mindful of that and take careful consideration to not destroy a team on a questionable call.

I'm going to assume you're French with you're liberal use of the word "We"
Otherwise....Please dont include me in you're "We".

A questionable call in the 1st quarter does not have the same effect on the outcome of a game as a questionable call in sudden death overtime.

So ? Do you think you're there to have an effect on the outcome?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

If I have to make that call, I can assure you I will be standing clearly on the side of the right call instead of straddling the fence. The call would be undisputably clear so that my judgement is not questioned.

Want to bet ?

Mr Neil, you pick apart everything I post and I have decided for someone to be so critical of me, he himself must be clearly a much better official and it would be in my best interest as well as the interest of those games in which I officiate to learn from you.

If you feel I am incompetent as an official, I am asking you to teach me. I humbly and respectfully submit to you so you can teach me all the things I am lacking as an official. What do you say Mr Neil? Here is your chance to do something positive and help the "anti-ref" improve to become a more respectable official.

Even if you reject my offer, I will study your posts in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the rules.
