BarraBrava99 12 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Congratulations! It looked like it was getting pretty rough out there (8 yellows!!! yeow!). Was the coach cautioned in the second half for an illegal substitution, or was it the player? The "super intelligent" official failed to make it obvious to those watching.

futbolfrank 10 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 They didn't have any yellows at all it seemed. Finch clotheslined and gave the victim a yellow. That's bull$*%$ 3 goals for mercke 1 PK, 1 goal for whitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues_82 10 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 this whitt guy just kinda came out of no where...whats his background, i dont even remember him from last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarraBrava99 12 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Abingdon did have one yellow card. that ref EDIT "handled the match rather lovely i would say. the chap was spot on at every infringement" END EDIT. *cough cough sarcasm cough* why would he turn to the bench and hold up the card when cautioning a player? shouldn't he have held it up high over, oh, i don't know... the player getting cautioned maybe?! he didn't even hold it up high so we knew what was happening. he just held it out, barely chest height. *sigh* sorry, that bugged me all night. i feel better now, though. anyway, congrats on the W!

JDove 10 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Oh that card the way I think that it went down... It was hard to see even on the field though... but anyways... Our defender got bloodied up and coach took him off the field stupidly... so then the player who came on got a yellow and the guy who came off... If this is incorrect please correct me other graham players... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHS06 10 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Defender had blood and ran off the field on a dead ball. As soon as it happened a substitution came in. Ref said he didnt wave him on and didn't see the bloodied man go off.. so he yellowed both players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarraBrava99 12 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 that's just stupid of the ref. it sounds like it was just a misunderstanding between the players! does this guy even think while he's officiating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraBrava99 12 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 *deep breath* oh boy... uh... hmmm. well, i thought he did well calling the match between you guys and richlands. a few mistakes, but nothing overly glaring or controversial. everyone makes mistakes. overall he did well i thought. Â tonight... i don't know what game he was watching. he was spot on with the PKs for the most part, other than forcing the Abingdon PK to be retaken? why did the kid have to do it twice? i heard someone in the crowd suggest it was b/c someone was over the penalty area line or something like that, but that's ridiculous. once it's in the net, it doesn't matter who stood where, b/c no one in any way affected or impeded either the kicker nor the GK. Â he missed a few fouls which should have been obvious. two pushes come to mind b/c they were right in front of me. when you see someone fall or even just unbalanced and the guy closest to him has his arms out towards him, that's an easy call. whether there was malice or intent to push, it doesn't matter. it's a foul. Â the cards, the circumstances under which they were issued, and the manner in which he physically presented the card left many if not all in the stands confused. ... the obvious ones for certain bad tackles were easy to understand, but there were odd instances like the one at the beginning. just calling two players over and sending them to the bench while holding a yellow in a barely visible manner is confusing to fans. not to mention there were quite a few whistles that left my friend and myself mystified. he blew for a high kick on a player that safely volleyed a ball down field without even showing his studs!?!? Â and i saw this against richlands tuesday and chalked it up to bias officiating (no offense), but it happened to the home team tonight. on tuesday a richlands player was fouled, the ball fell to his teammate who had a semi break away and an obvious advantage. rather than play advantage the ref stopped it dead. he did the same tonight to you guys. maybe he doesn't understand the concept of advantage. his performance in the middle tonight was pretty poor. perhaps he just had an off night. it happens to everyone. on the other hand controversy sometimes makes sports great . it didn't cost either team a result, though, and that's the important thing. as long as the match is decided by skill and not officiating, that's what counts. i don't want to say someone's a bad ref if i only see them work twice. in my mind right now he's 50/50. how's that? WHEW! my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtrnyGnrl05 11 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 The Referees just arent takin any crap on the field. ZERO arguments on their decisions. Just don't mess with them. My only concern is that they usually ref the youngsters and we're high schoolers, let us play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDove 10 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Yea if you say much of anything to the refs even if it's not in a manner to be argueing they will pull the yellow out... By the way NICE post BarraBrava! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFan02 10 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm not a fan of him either. But there is one thing i've noticed. The refs around here (you know who i'm talkin about, there's maybe 5 main ones) are different on the girls field. I can watch the same ref throw 5 yellows during a guys game but let the girls slide with cheerleader-like high kicks.... anyone else see where i'm coming from?
