Just the opposite, I was given the award last night for worst official ever by the home team in last night's JV game.

I'm just OK, it really isn't that hard to talk quickly. Walk off the penalty and then pull out the recorder and switch it on.

"2nd quarter 2:23 false start Umpire Acme Offense #72 Accepted"

Hit stop to save the file and put the recorder back in my pocket.

I will be giving this job to our B in the future but I know it can be done in a pinch.
