Well Friday night I was called "blind". Yeah I know not a big deal, nothing new, but the obnoxious dad continued to prove his stupidity. He then told me I needed to go see Lahaysik, which is the procedure to correct your vision. The doctor is Lahaye. How am I supposed to see the procedure? Anyway , so I'm thinking what a moron, right? Then it got worse. He started questioning offside decisions. I laughed. Then, the coup de gras. He yells, "Would you look at that, they were are all offside on the throw in!" Then I began to cry. I felt so sorry for this guy, at halftime I went to my truck and I brought back a Law book for him. I told him he was welcome to it and placed it on the bench on the side of the field near the stands. Then he proved he wasn't as dumb as I thought he was! 5 minutes into the second half he came to the field and picked it up! He sat quietly the remainder of the second half and read. Or at least he looked at the pictures! ;D After the match, when speaking with the coach of said moron's sons team, he confirmed my initial assessment of the man was correct. IDIOT. sorry you can't save them all.

"Muppet" was popular in Lafayette for a little while.

The funniest thing I ever heard was from a parent on the other team when we were playing rec. The game was physical at least for rec. The ref was letting it go for the most part.
She screamed loudly, "it's all fun til somebody gets an eye put out." Everyone looked at her including the ref and some of the players who actually stopped playing for a minute.
One of the dads on our team yelled, "girls, no BB guns on the field." it was hilarious.

For me, not the name I was called but the statement made to me (actually screamed at me) still ranks as my top one . "Hey ref, get off your knees, you're blowing the game." How can you not laugh at that?

Rumor has it there was a referee that was once mistaken for a port-o-let, until the port-o-let actually moved more in a game. But then again, that is just a rumor.
I heard a referee called ray Charles once, he looked at the paren and said "if we're roll playing, I'll be ray Charles if you'll be Helen Keller". It worked, not another peep from her the rest of the game

I love it when they call me favorable as if I'm showing favoritism or home cooking. Ironically enough, I never call a game in my home town. All of my games are out of town.

I don't have a favorite name or phrase that's been shouted at me, but I have been in situations that are quite funny. Just two days ago I was an Ar for a boys game and during the game one of the coaches, after every call, would say 'REALLY?'. The only thing I can do is put my hand up in his direction, shake my head, and say just stop. Then as the game continues his players continue to foul and he says HOW CAN YOU SEE THAT...one, it was ten yards in front of me, and two you're brown nosing every call that goes your way so don't argue the ones we give to the other team.
After the game the coach of the losing team (**due to the fact that his team scored 30 seconds til the final whistle blew, then his players got 2 yellows and 1 red) ran out onto the field towards the Center so i was in hot pursuit. He began to talk to the Center and while he stepped in between, and after very two words he said to the center he told me to get outta his face.
It was an extra hour and a half we had to spend out of the field with the idiotic parents and retarded coach..not worth what we got paid

Heard a good one last night. I was told I needed to read the rule book, because failure to respect the reatart distance (not their exact words) is a red card.

Heard a good one last night. I was told I needed to read the rule book, because failure to respect the reatart distance (not their exact words) is a red card. That actually raises a question (for me at least) as to what is the rule on that. This year (not only in our games), I've seen refs: - show a yellow for not giving 10 yards
- allow multiple instances occur & then warn a team (and eventually issue a yellow on a subsequent incident by a different player)
- not allow the team with the ball to take a quick kick, but blow play dead & mark off 10 yards
I'd love to hear what "should" happen. It's been pretty confusing. And I also think club & high school are different?? Thanks in advance for any insights! (and this may not be the right thread for the question - sorry!)

Ive been called "Sasquatch", dont know why..lol.. latest one I heard was "check your phone... you have a missed call.. then throughout the game same parent kept yelling ring, ring.. when I cautioned his daughter naturally he had something to yell, so I calmly told him to leave me a voicemail. He couldnt help but laugh with everyone else and I didnt hear a peep from him for the rest of the game.
