To all Refs... I will agree with the above. At my last playoff game, one of the other team's coach was talking trash to my players on the field. Telling them that "We got you now. Ya'll aint got nothing. etc..." Well the second time this happened, I kind of lost it. I don't think opposing coaches should ever say anything to opposing players, ever. I was wrong in the way I reacted but I felt that my players needed protecting from the verbal assaults coming from the opposing AD. Well at the time all this was going down the 4th ref just stood there and let it happen. Whats the point of her being there if she won't even control this. It was pretty bad. Second, I would like to apologize to all refs that I may have verbally abused this year. I am new to soocer having never played or coached or anything. I am an idiot when it comes to the rules and probably proved that point on many occasions throughout the year. Still I am ultra competitive and hard-headed and that made me blowup at times at the expense of the referees. Probably being wrong most of the time. But guys remember, I DO know everything! LOL. Anyway, I am a guy who truly believes in looking at yourself each time you complete a season to see what things you need to work on and what things you should change personally. Having done this, I need to have more sypamthy for you guys and the tough job that all of you have to do. I am truly sorry for acting the way I did a couple of times this season. Third, I appreciate the refs who were patient with me. I have much greater respect for the refs who are willing to explain a call here and there and just listen to a coach whine a little than the ones who are so quick to card you for every little thing and get defensive every time a call is questioned. You guys do a great job and deserve respect. Please accept my apologies. J.L. Lafayette is hosting a new referee clinic Feb. 26-March 1 if that helps? You could come to the dark side, by what you described above you seem like you'd fit in! ;D

Referees just hate doing the games with HJ though. Out of control....
(In stark contrast to me being such a good boy)

In all honesty, I think I have learned more from watching and working with Jack than any other referee. Hopefully he will join the academy and encourage the next generation of refs to stay with it and improve.

I have been dismissed as a coach maybe 8-9 yrs ago (well deserved I might add). Never as a player. But I should've been sent once for DOGSO by foul. It was an easy call which the ref made but didnt send me. I was the last defender and pulled an attacker down.

As a referee: A player who doesn't respect the game enough and attacks my AR. Doesn't matter if they are new and I'm training them or I've worked with them for 15 years. You're card is coming NOW. Doesn't matter how well you play. As the CR, the AR only gives me information, let me do my job and deal with it. Conversely, as an AR, I need to know what the CR wants and I need to be communicated with on every ball out of play. It doesn't matter if the ball is on the other end of the pitch for that half or not. The crew needs to "talk" the whole match.
As a coach: Refs who don't work as a team, don't keep up with play, or who don't call the game to the level of the players.

Is it me, or has anyone else noticed the loud cheering when a ref blows a whistle for a foul (especially a pk)? Or even when a card is shown.
It's as if the crowd is cheering the ref for making a great play for their team.
From where I was hatched, cheering because of someone's mistake (which is what a foul is) is not something to be proud of.
