I know many quality refs who work for under FIFA rules and run many of your travel tournaments in middle Tennessee. Sadly, these refs refuse to do high school games because THEY recognize the quality of high school refs and do not want to be placed with that stigma of being a 'high school ref'. Thought some people might like to know that.
On another note, a ref threw one of my teammates out this year for muttering, "Thats a bunch of bullcrap," after another teammate got his second yellow for a slide tackle. Straight red, no warning or anything. Are these guys just loving their power too much now a days? I believe a ref has done his job when he has done all he could to make no impact on the game itself. Anyone agree with this?
