Surf Cup bracketing

Lavey29 said:
It was a clear hand ball in the box but center did not have good vision to see it. Young kid AR should have flagged it as it was closest to him but no call. Oh well, I never get mad at refs. They are trying their best and aren't getting paid Fifa money. What was pretty funny, other team scored first and kid told our defender " Welcome to Arizona "... little smack talk, I'm fine with that it's part of the game. We scored the next 2.....yep yep

I tried refereeing a Rec game a while back with only parents as AR. 3 shots hit the crossbar and bounced down in the game. I called one a goal. There was no way to tell if the ball crossed the line in any of them. On the 3rd one it looked like the net moved and the kid acted like he scored. The other 2 were shots by my son's team. After the game I told them I couldn't tell and no one acted like they scored so "what was I supposed to think". Ref's have an impossible job at the youth level, although some are pretty bad.

Ok, you did your best that's all that counts and only a small group step up to ref anyway. Critique yourself and look to improve where you can. Watching high level games and the way the center managed the match helped me.

I was bad when my player was younger. I feel bad I took it so serious. I was nice to teens trying to earn a buck. The head ref guy who was out of shape but acted like he knew it all was my struggle. I will say a meet and greet before the season starts with the refs and all the players and parents to share what good sportsmanship is all about would have helped me. Nope, they sit us all on the same side lines and let it all play out.

You really have anger issues you should have dealt with soon. Use the quarantine for something useful and not to build up your anger towards others. I pointed out how stupid the rules are and it still bothers you.

There's no reason to keep focusing on this BS every post. Kids are playing, parents are doing a generally good job with the China virus guidelines. Yes, I had my mask on all game. Make soccer comments.

This photo shows how difficult it is to police the fields or enforce their posted rules, which are kind of over the top. Not that I really care but technically there are several violations visible in the picture. I am only pointing out how this conflicts with the posted rules. Do I think anyone is harmed by what you can see, the answer is no.

Masks are mandatory for all individuals at the facility. Only athletes, when on the field playing, are allowed to be without a mask but they must wear a mask until they take the field.
• All players, coaches, referees and parents must follow all facility guidelines and remain 6’ apart at all times, whether sitting or standing

Regardless, it's nice to see kids playing soccer.

The city of Mesa is apparently upset that certain guidelines are not being followed close enough according to friends we know and have told surf their participants need to do better or else. Not sure what the else is but apparently there watching very closing, have rangers coming by and reviewing footage.

I heard that to but our game was in Scottsdale and it was not crowded there at all and everyone I could see was masked up. I have to wonder about all these teams coming in from out of state where they have zero strict mask guidelines like California. They might be to relaxed on the sideline because their particular state has relaxed china virus guidelines unlike kommyfornia. I saw no one at our game on the sideline without a mask and we were well spread out too.
 
t is not the one who coined it the China Virus. I've always said it's the bat virus from Wuhan U in the city of Wuhan. It got out from a lab..

I did in a loose way, but I have no will to go back and forth with you. I can tell from your other posts that you know the game and have respect for you for that.

Yes, CHINA virus.

China needs to own up to it. It's infected the entire world.

Anyways, back to non-stupidity.

Glad the kids are back playing. Based on the photo, people seem to be social distancing and I see masks. Yay.

Wuhan had plenty of people celebrating New Year’s Eve with no mask. They beat the virus. Call it what you want but they don’t give a crap about us.

The whole world is laughing at the USA to see how selfish and stupid we are. By the way the picture shows more than one person without a mask. Clearly people don’t give a crap if they are not wearing mask.

There’s a reason why Albion cup just got pushed to March. Those who attended surf cup didn’t make the local cities comfortable that these youth tournaments are safe.

Yep! You’re the parent that complains after losing a game and blames the ref/field/weather/etc.

Judge Rainbow is at it again. If Lavey drove 400 miles to win a tournament and the ref blows obvious hand ball, then I feel a complaint is warranted. What is happening to pure honesty and call out a bad no call on a soccer forum? It's a virus from Wuhan ((Wuhan Virus)) and I believe it was man made in a lab and released to inflect fear, death and division in this country and around the world. I'm open to being proven wrong but that's how I see it and I always call them as I see them. I do not kiss ass to any party, coach, Doc or club. This is not about race. It's about the big C and if that's where your allegiance lies, then that's sad!!!! American Way is the only way to help America first. You cant help others if you dont help yourself fist. I do not have a confederate flag and I love all peeps in America first.

As a Karen would say "this is why we can't have anything nice"

There is a Fiesta bowl being played today in AZ let's blame them. The weather is nice we ran into some nice families and had a little underground NYE party drinking and dancing no Karens around to bust balls.

The other thing to remember is that Surf (or any org. holding an event at Scottsdale Sports Complex) don't control the complex. Its a public facility and anyone can wander in and hang out, walk, run etc., which is exactly what they do.
