Soccer Refs... Blah!

Jared had another game today and those poor kids played their hearts out to walk out with a 2 to 1 loss at the end of the game due to a bad referee. There is a difference between having a bias ref due to homefield advantage and having a ref who just do it for the money.

A lot of us soccer parents can almost blame any "away" game on a bias referee and that is expected or I should say normal. This guy was just baaaad! For an example, our opponents today sent the ball up and over our defense with 2 of their fowards sitting behind our defensive line. The line ref called for a massive offsides and the center ref "waived" him down. Fortunately they did not score on the break but it was not right to listen to the linesman. It is their job to see these actions.

I said it once and I will say it again and again until I'm heard... Refs should be grouped into an association and taught how to ref with the same techniques. Furthermore, a single ref should have to ref games that are not local to them on a rotation. I don't know... That's how I see it. Keep playing hard Revolution! They can't hold you down forever.
