Parents from certain teams

Frank said:
Had a good one at Surf this weekend. I’m on my teams bench and the ref is struggling. Calls and keeping up. Our head coach is normally calm and is starting to lose it. At half they have a discussion and the ref said “sorry, I’m tired and I’m just not good today. This my 10th game in 3 days. ”. It was odd, but was the best thing to say as we just sort of said everyone can have a bad day and calmed down.

If a referee doing 10 games at Surf, assignors NOT doing a good job.

There are referees that can easily work 10 games over a three day period. There were some refs that worked all 5 days of Surf Cup. I did 8 games in two days for 28.59 miles (Sat: 13.66 miles and Sun: 14.93 Garmin GPS watch) and still felt good enough to work more games on Monday if I didn't have to go to my regular job. If a ref isn't feeling up to the job they should tell someone and be put on lines only or be replaced.

There are parents who get out of control for both my Mijo’s games and my Mija’s games. Some people just do not get it. It’s only kids soccer. Hope it gets better when they are older in HS

It won't get better.

The further away some spectators are from the game, the worse they think the officiating is. Also, because they are in the stands, some feel entitled to should the most ignorant comments imaginable, toward not only the referees, but the players too.

... and some of the ones shouting stupid things at your team's players will be parents from your team.
 
I am so glad

I suffer from 40 percent hearing loss in one ear. It just means I cannot hear most of the ignorant stuff the parents yell when in the stands/bleachers.
 
A few years ago during HS season I heard a parent yelling at my daughter (who is NOT selfish with the ball) "Pass the Ball!" as her coach was shouting at her to take her space and dribble. She listened to her coach.

Did she made a play or lost the ball? Normally when people screams at players to pass the ball is because they tend to lose the ball... Just saying.

Why do people yell at any kid? You shouldn't yell at any kid (unless you are the coach, and even then it should be limited). If you (whoever the "you" may be) can't attend a soccer match without yelling at kids, perhaps it is time to stay home.

You will be seeing some empty games.

I did 16 games in total this weekend. I saw a 15 year old kid do 7 games in 1 day. He was originally assigned 6 and picked up 1 more from a person who said they couldn't do their 5th game in a row. Kind of insane. Not going to lie though, on Sunday when I was assigned 6 games, I was struggling on the last game AR. The 5th game I was able to get by on adrenaline because it was a close, good, game. But the 6th game was brutal.

Since I had finals on Monday, I iced my legs. Then I took a shower alternating between hot and cold and finished the shower with an Epson salt bath. Then I popped 1 Ibuprofen and threw on compression socks to wear to bed and elevated my legs on 3 pillows. Monday morning, I felt better. And then after warming up and stretching, I refereed the crap out of the finals.
