I only implied that I hope they are better than the ones at Munford last year. I know they come from different areas but the guys last year were bad. Watch the video on Social Dweebs YouTube page. It’s still on there from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eers Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 I implied it. I said it. I stand by it. The officiating in West TN is terrible. The officiating in the playoffs last year in Memphis was terrible. I know they are supposed to be from outside the area and/or neutral, but when you have a Middle TN team and West TN team, where do the officials come from? Jackson? The officiating there isn’t any better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, i did hear that the officiating at the Munford/Springfield game was bad. so not defending that. However, A lot of us "West tn folk" have made similar statements when playing in middle Tn. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve been to a game from Jackson west thought I thought was good. I’m not saying it affecting the outcomes, but bad officiating is bad officiating any way you look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've witnessed bad officiating as well (speaking for playoff scenarios) and knew for a fact that the zebras were not from west tennessee. So sounds like we have same opinions, different perspective. The fact is, we as fans are naturally biased and "bad calls" (or lack there of) tend to shine brighter when going against our team. It is hard for any of us to admit or take notice when such a call goes in our favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been around football (family coaches, playing, and coaching) for A LOT of years, I can honestly say I take notice when a call goes my teams way. It doesn’t typically make me a crowd favorite when I say it either. I wasn’t necessarily saying they all went against me there, just that it was bad.

All i am saying is the negative always outshines the positive, especially in a football game. I have witnessed bad officiating within the shelby county boundaries as well (mostly against the privates). I have witnessed bad officiating while playing teams outside of west tenn. (here or there) Just know that west tenn. rarely benefits from the "good officiating". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
