OK. OK....... I'll stick to the littles from now on.
In the fall I would be fine with 6-7 of those 7v7 games as a single ref every other Saturday. $300+ and the teams get a State Ref. Win-win for everyone.

... The other dad got to leave after I gave a Caution (Yellow card) DOGSO (denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity). Dad yelled at me, “Are you stupid? That was denying a goal and a red card.” Coach said, “I got this” and sent dad to the parking lot. After the game the coach apologized to me and said, “I wish we didn’t have any of the fathers at the games. It would be so much quieter and enjoyable.”
The unfortunate thing here is the next time this Dad see's a DOGSO (but outside the box) and a red card is given he is going to be so confused and probably yell and scream and kick, not realizing the triple punishment justification for yellow in the box and red outside the box. Then when the DOGSO is for a "holding, pulling or pushing" in the box and a red card is given, the poor guy's head will explode and some kid will be fatherless.
And if you showed your post to 98% of parents, and 80% of coaches that are yelling at referees, they would have no idea what this means.The unfortunate thing here is the next time this Dad see's a DOGSO (but outside the box) and a red card is given he is going to be so confused and probably yell and scream and kick, not realizing the triple punishment justification for yellow in the box and red outside the box.

Yes, that makes it all worth it!So that is why we go through all of the training every year, to make the calls that will cause some Soccer Crazy dad’s head to explode.
It will only matter if the referee was abusive, ignored injury or similar. If it shows an error in calling the laws, it will not matter.Will find out shortly if ref complaints matter. Ref complaints with video that is!
Not may, did.Referee team may have blown a call last night, awarding Panama a phantom goal thus knocking USA out of World Cup.
In my opinion it is about safety not feeling empowered and if there is a ref that lets a game get out of control and kids are injured due to their indifference they should be called out (not at the field but in a game report). When a game has several injuries that take multiple kids out of the game, the ref is the likely source of mismanagement.I love how technology make parents feel empowered... will this video show a ref who made a bad call? Spare the world those stupid videos. Instead teach the kids on how to navigate through life’s obstacles and how to deal with adversity. Teach the kids to take matters into their own hands by playing the type of game that produce results. Be positive and stop looking for excuses

enable a team to keep playing dirty....... no. not really.Yes 110%. The ref doesn't cause a team to play dirty -- but they can enable the team to KEEP playing dirty, raising the odds of serious injury.

a referee can only punish infractions and penalize misconduct. if the team still wants to act like thugs, they still can.
Wow! You must’ve just learned that word from some self help book and couldn’t wait to use itOh come on. Safe, fun, fair. It is the duty of the referee crew to provide a safe, fun and fair game. If the game is not safe they can talk to, caution and or remove players/coaches. If they are unwilling to use these tools then they are ENABLING the team to keep playing dirty and become complicit in the problem -- AN UNSFAFE GAME!

and my point is, that there are no guarantees that cards, send offs, etc., cures all ills. the responsibility lies with the coaches, players, and the parents of the players.The referee is the last defense ... kinda like a goal keeper. Empowered to stop the nonsense and manage the game BECAUSE the players and coaches have failed in their obligations.
i assume you are unfamiliar with intelligence since you have never displayed it on these boards.The issue arises when the referee doesn't punish infractions and penalize misconduct. I assume you are unfamiliar with that since it never happens in the games you referee.
