bluesoccer Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 And how does naming names on these boards hold them accountable? Just what does that accomplish? 825626962[/snapback] It accomplishes identifying the poster as an immature, whining, ignorant and probably mediocre soccer player or parent of one. There's a definite correlation between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah20 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 And how does naming names on these boards hold them accountable?

wall Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 i just wish refs knew how to call offsides, and a big reason they don't is because they can't keep up with the play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volsbigd712 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yeah, offside traps are tough because you can't rely on the refs around here to make the call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur25 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I find that refs in highschool soccer more so than any other level are afraid of calling fouls. Whether it's from inexperience or lack of confidence, I find that this single recurring problem is more prominent than any other. Especially in the eighteen, it's almost as if they're afraid to call for a penalty kick for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They often hesitate and by the time they realize it was a big foul they decide not to call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They often hesitate and by the time they realize it was a big foul they decide not to call it. 825630201[/snapback] They rarely call them because PKs are basically a free goal. All it takes is one goal to decide the game, and most people don't like the game to come down to a questionable call. How many PKs do you see in the EPL or MLS or other professional soccer leagues? I'm not saying that they shouldn't be called, they just need to be called when an obvious goalscoring opportunity is taken away and the ref is 100% sure on his call. In my opinion, the ref shouldn't call it unless it is an obvious foul. If he's not sure, I would rather him not call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volsbigd712 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I just hate it when they call a PK and it seems as if it was a make-up call for missed calls before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoner2424 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I agree, I have seen that hapen a few times to where it determined the game by putting a team up a goal for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondaudio18 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 bad refs come and go but i am a player and a ref for the kiddos on the weekends. last night i witnessed the worst reffed game ever simply because the ref singled out a player that he had problems with last year. player A gets solid shoulder and kinda loses his balanace and his arms go up and come in contact with anther player. the ref calls player a for a foul he didnt commit ok it happens and player A then says come on in frustation and with out warning the ref shows a card . this is player A's first incident this game no other warnings what so ever. i agree the players manners after this were in the wrong but he had every reason to be upset. just should have managed his anger differently. but after this happens a while later i am discussin a call made againist me for on sides and im 5 players back from the original play.i was called offsides and i had fallowed a shot up the guy who shot was in front of me and the cross in which he got was straight across. i didnt say a thing towards the ref i was just tlakign to my coach just explaining what happened and the ref comes up to me and tells me i cant talk about a call with MY coach and i shouldnt question calls he makes. in turn i say OK and turn away as he tells me to watch my mouth ???????? this intern gets my coach angery and as my coach gets his warning he too says ok sir and turns away and the ref continues to urge my coach into sayin more he throws the card on coach. our assist coach then says sir he was walking aaway and told you he understand why did he continue to get the card? thats my story it was kinda sad when both coachs agreed they would be reporting the ref ... oh yeah dont throw grass either it can be taken as you are saying foul language..... and those who say a ref cant decide the out come of a game your wrong i am sorry to say he can decide simply either makin the call or not makin the call yes he is deciding none the less.
