THE BEST FB CREWS

[SALTSHAKER 10]

Its that time of yaer again. Time to rate a ref. Name the best or worst ref or crew you have personally seen not heard about. Be fair and honest just like the Refs themselves. And once again thanks for being an athletic supporter. If you dont know the whole crew juat name or describe the person. And just dont say they have a large stomach or Sharp chin, that could be a number of those refs.

T-bone Lewis, Red Clear and that crew are about the sorriest refs I ever saw. I do not know if they are still refereeing or not? Salt Shaker are you from Saltville? Did you play for the Shakers? If so when?

[old_school_blue 247]

Speaking of large stomachs, are you still eating them fried bologna sandwichs SaltShaker?

[FatBoy 10]

from all the salt he put on his pork rines and pork loin chops when he was a cheerleader at R.B. Worthy back in the sixties. Salty was the best cheerleader to ever don the pon-pons.

Best crew. Means more than one person. Every crew has to have a weak link. I am going to reduce it to best members of a crew. That skinny guy that runs all the time from richlands, real good, never throws a flag. The guy that coached baseball at graham looked good in the mud at hurley last week. Johnny Altizer knows the rules well. The worst are steve honaker, don copley (70 years old is a little much), cheatin steve sheets. I once heard a comment by the head of the officials, that the southwest official association had over 100 hundred officials. The reply from the gentleman in attendance, was "you have over a 100 names not officials."

This thread seems like it could get interesting.

[get_the_duck 10]

Worst, hands down, Robbie Perry.

It is easy to sit on behind a rate the officials. Why don't you try it yourself. Don't rate them to you have done it, that is my fillousy. Therefore, I am not rating beause I don't call ball.

Don is a good official. Just because the guy is 70 doesn't make him the "worst" official. He toughs it out at the Umpire position where a lot guys half his age don't want to be. Give the guy a little credit for doing that.

swd refs are about as crappy as they come... i agree with the person who said this " swd ref pool needs to be drained and bleached" ( sorry forgot who said it )

[tullyblanchard 10]

Ole P.G. Wingfield is an aweful white hat... by far the worst I've ever seen, he needs to retire.......!!

[GODFATHER 10]

Beein' a Ref is as hard as Viagree! I thank that every ref in these parts is pretty dog gone awful. Santolly's crew, well shucks, might as well hire Hellen Keller an let her officiate tha game. Juss put beepers in tha painted areas ta keep her safe from them goalie posts. It aint no fun boys, but if ur awful ur awful! These refs round here is pretty bad all tha way round. Boff teams! I dont thank they cheat for nobody I juss thank they stank up tha field for tha most part. Shucks them boys is like peein' in a tornado, when its all said an done they look yaller, skeered an' smell funny. Home teams gotta advantage round these parts. Yesssireee Bob.

The Southwest District are serviced by the Appalachian Officials Association so it is not just one district's referees. These officials come from Thomas Walker to Wytheville.

[Shootfor2 10]

Maybe we should rate the couches. I never did coach, but we could rate the by how fat they are. Now I knwo eating.

[jham 10]

refing is hard. but they should be held more accountable than they are i think. i know most do not have to do it just do it as a second profession. there should be somekind of rating system done by the coaches. i know west va had somekind of system set up in basketball. wandering how that works out. but then again might have less refs than what we have now

[GODFATHER 10]

All joking aside, that is a good idea. I dont know how they are rated.

[jham 10]

i dont either. my cousin was a basketball ref in west va and i remember him saying something about it.

[89Tornado 10]

I believe that is already in place. I think coaches can rate their crew on any given night.

[GODFATHER 10]

how would they do that? Can a home team pick the officiating crew? I am really unsure how the process works.

[UKCats1 10]

If they will take the time to do it and do it for every game not just when they are mad.

[jham 10]

if thats true great. just believe in needs to be uniform and required if it is in place. should have to rate no matter what.

[UKCats1 10]

There is a game report that the schools can fill out but most do not do it.

[GODFATHER 10]

I agree. I think the officials, if poor, do a poor job for both teams. I have never seen blatant cheating. I have seen alot of games. It should be a requirement to rate officials every game.

I don't think you can call it a second profession. I don't know for sure but I doubt they're paid much more than enough to cover their expenses. They surely don't make enough to put up with the abuse they take. I can count on one hand the number of games I've been to where I thought the refs were cheating... but I would need a calculator to count the number of fans at every single game that accuse them of it. Anyone who thinks they can do better should give it a try...
