To Mr. 202677,

How about you joining the ranks of soccer refs in the Columbia area and then maybe 1 less way overweight ref would need to ref? Always interested in how everyone watching matches know everything and the poor, blind ol', way overweight refs know little or nothing. Get out there and ref.

And to FMD20, how come people watching in the stands from much farther away than halfway across the field make even better calls than the refs on the field?

People if you don't like the reffing, then get certified and ref. As you seem to type, how difficult can it be to ref a simple high school soccer match when you know all the rules. Come on and get out there and let the poor, way over weight refs take it easier and only do JV matches.
It will be much appreciated.
