philly, i'm still not sure what your point was with the comment about it being tough for the keeper to stop. it still sounds like you're inferring that it should not be a foul because he had already started his slide. whether or not it's difficult for him to stop his slide, once he has started, is irrelevant, so why mention it?

about the "moron" comment, i guess i just expect a little more from someone who says that he (or she) has been a referee for 25 years.

i have this picture in my mind:

coach: ref, you suck !!!
ref: coach, YOU suck !!!
coach: you suck MORE !!!
ref: no, YOU do !!!
AR: asphinctersayswhat?

ref & coach together: ???
