Refs, what are your pet peeves concerning coaches and players? What, without a doubt, makes you pull a card? And not to be left out, players and coaches, what are your pet peeves about refs? No names please, just peeves.

Not so much pet peeves but From the ref side: 1. "I got the ball" (FYI, you can commit a foul and get the ball - getting the ball is not relevant to any decision) 2. The universal myths and misunderstanding of what is and what is not a handball
As a coach, ARs not being in position for offside decisions
As a player, not catching the 1st foul and booking the second

Ditto on FIL plus: When I'm reffing, you can tell me I missed a call, you can tell me I'm blind, but don't ever tell me I'm cheating for the other team. This will surely get you a card. As a player, refs please don't tell me you aren't calling a foul because the opposing player "didn't mean to kick you". As a coach, refs, please take your job seriously. If you are working my game just to make a paycheck, please do everyone a favor and stay home. If your heart isn't in it, you don't deserve the measly 30 bucks.

As a ref, I could be here all day, but my big ones are: -coaches and or players trying to tell me what and how to call a game (I don't tell you how to coach or play do I?) -the expectation of me to be perfect (I'm human like you. When was the last time you coached or played a perfect game)
As a player or coach: -referees who don't care and aren't even close to professional -referees who say "if you do 'x, y, z' again, I'll give you a card" then don't when it happens.

My favorite as a referee are the coaches who say "you've never played the game." Really has no bearing on anything (although I have numerous years of playing experience). I generally ask them how long they've been a referee. A look on consternation on their part is always the answer I get back.
As a player, inconsistency by the referee.
As a coach, inconsistency by the referee.
As a fan, inconsistency by the referee.

As a referee: players, coaches, and fans who don't understand advantage and that you are doing their team a favor by NOT making a call.
As a coach or player: Referees(only a few) who have an "I AM God, HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME?" attitude.

As a referee: players, coaches, fans, and other referees who think that they can call offsides from ridiculous angles.
As a coach or player: referees who can't leave their "anger" or "emotions" at home (off the field) and call a game with more respect for the people involved. That "eye for an eye" and "tooth for a tooth" mentality definitely exist in the Louisiana officials' associations. Calmer minds should prevail.

to repeat cajun soccerguy:
-coaches and or players trying to tell me what and how to call a game (I don't tell you how to coach or play do I?) -the expectation of me to be perfect (I'm human like you. When was the last time you coached or played a perfect game)
I wish every parent ,player, coach and spectator could read this one. When I was actively ref-ing I wanted to say this one sooooo bad.

Thanks pop. I actually do say it at games, to thier faces. I am usually pretty polite about it, and they typically lay off.
If they don't, I card them for dissent.

Having been on both sides (coach and ref), the one comment I have pop, is as ref's we need to remember we aren't perfect and that we do have the ability to stink up the field at times. A simple admittance to screwing up a call can go a long way. I've seen several coaches admit in my career to making coaching mistakes after games, but very few (if any in Louisiana) refs admit to bad or missed calls.

My pet peeve is the 10 yard rule on a free kick. The player is about to take a kick and then a trailing defender happens to wander into the area.

as a fan - Referees that make a call then stare down a player and instigate and argument.
Try to prove they know every rule in the book and use them in every game.
and makes the referee the deciding factor in the game instead of the game being the deciding factor.

as a player: refs who dont play advantage or use their descretion as a coach: refs inconsistancy Two (3?) valid complaints. As an official, advantage is a tough call. Fortunately, we've recently been given the opportunity for a 'do over'. Previously, once advantage was signaled, you had to live with the outcome, no matter what happened. Now, we do have the ability to penalize the foul if the advantage does not materialize. On the other hand, it can make us look indecisive on the field if we call the original foul after having signaled for advantage. I'm uncertain about what you mean about us using our 'discretion'. Now, let us address 'inconsistency'. As a coach, player, or parent, your interest is your team. Therefore, whatever occurs on the field is biased by your interest, as it should be. As an official, our interest is primarily the safety of the players, and that the Game is fair. Two similar incidents, from your viewpoint, may seem the same and be judged unfairly by the official. From our position, there may be differences that require different actions. lather

as a player: refs who don't let the captains handle their players. when players talk back to the ref instead of dropping off to defend the goal
as a ref: players who think they are right parents who think they can see the game better from the stands coaches who think they know all the rules!

as a player: people asking for a player to be carded and some refs who refuse to show a card for any reason.(heard a player tell a ref he was f***ing retarded and the ref simply ignored it)
as a ref: people who call me biased. my responce "i dislike them just as much as i dislike you"

As a referee: Sending off a kid and finding out 10 days later he says you told him "you suck" as you sent him off.
As a player: Getting hacked / taken down in the box on a breakaway, and finding the referee 50 yards behind the play.

As a referee--hands on the back of player/pushing off to gain position for airballs. This is the biggest technical deficiency in LA in my opinion--COACHES--teach your kids how to go straight up without pushing off
As a coach--refs who dont call hands on the back/pushing off to gain position. If a player has his hands on another players back, he is pushing off--its a foul.....CALL IT!
