US Soccer Referee Abuse Policy (RAP)

I think at youth/lower officiating levels, I might simply prefer more no-calls in both directions for offsides. Allow teams and strategies to take advantage of it, sure we'll get higher scoring youth matches. But I think something needs to be done to simply take poor officiating out of game results, at the younger/lower level officiating levels, the impact referees have on soccer results feels worse than other sports. That factor could very well be a part of why parents are so wound up towards soccer referees and eventually leads to abuse.

I don't care too much about semantics or individual letters, English is a living language. The English used to have a short-hand for Association Football in their slang: "soccer". I don't see a problem with Americans calling offside "offsides" here in America.
Dont blame America for you not knowing what the offside infraction is called. Also, it's called the "touchline" not the "sideline" which you've been screaming at your players for 10 years. Why do you think all your players left? They all realize you have no idea what you are doing.

It's also called offside in American football, one letter and proper or improper pluralism about a game rule, doesn't change the meaning of anything anyone is saying. You know what I'm saying and so does everyone else, to point out such small details, actually takes away from any actual debate happening if there is no meaning lost. This isn't an academic setting where spelling and part of speech are being graded. It is literally distracting and completes beside any relevant point to the topic.

Not sure what the rest of your statements are about, at all. You might have me confused with someone else.

It's not the first time, fwiw. He/she has insulted me also in the exact same manner also (despite me not even being a coach, and a few attempts to correct). No idea what the deal is with that person; probably best to ignore.
