Yeh, I kind of thought it was a joke but he was telling this to a youth referee which, I thought, was wrong. That's something that, not realizing it is a joke, they can take to heart. The kid, as it turns out, had a tie game later in the day and the guy made the same comment to him. I understand it is a standard joke but, please, don't say it to youth refs. It's a dangerous joke to have overheard because it plays right into the insecurity of coaches and parents when it comes to officials.

As stated earlier, a standing joke among referees in all sports... kind of like the "tuck your whistle in your shirt before you go to the bathroom." Don't takeit seriously!
