SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer WF pre-season tournament

Ok, just wondering because of the rumor I heard.

Officials weren't the best I agree in parts of the tourney, missed the championship game, though.

Oh it was the worst officiated game i have ever seen. Sometimes you could trample on somebody and not get a foul called on you and then other times you could nudge someone and get called. The 2 redcards given to players were both because of cussing, wasnt even an F bomb, i was in total shock. The refs just really didnt have any consistency

the worst part was that he didnt even say anyting to the captains during the coin toss about cussing. I also dont like it when the head ref is only a like 3 years older than the players.

Doesn't matter, cursing is cursing and they stressed that to all of our coaches this year that they were going to make it a big deal.

I do agree on the matter of the refs being so young. I think there should be something in place for that. Sure it's ok for some college kid to make some extra money refing rec. ball or something but not high school soccer. By the sounds of the last game of the tourney the refs cleary didn't have a handle of the game. They should have taken control when the first red card was issued, or the 2nd or 3rd yellow. It's sad when the refs play a big part in the game.

Quick question, do the coaches/AD's call certain refs to call the game, or do they call it in (somewhere) and they are assigned based on location??? Just wondering...

i have had some guys who blatantly said they did not really know the rules of soccer. They were football refs and just had to be out there. So i guess a couple of college guys who know what they are doing is better than those who don't

striker 33, so if our captain says, "call a Da*n foul" in like the first 4 minutes of the game he deserves a red card? and then the ref says "o yea im getting rid of you early tonight"

i forgot to say that our captain was like 30 ft from the ref when he said it, but the ref told our coach that he was in his face when he said it and then was smiling at him.

yeah our player got tossed for saying sh*t after a horribly played ball. I think it was more of a make up call since he threw the WF guy out he felt he had to throw the SF guy out. During the coin toss i cant remember exactly what the ref said, it was something along the lines of watch the cussing. He didnt indicate it was a straight red.

On a side note. What all did the WF coach do to get tossed walker, i wasnt watching but someone told me he got tossed for flicking him off or something.

I'm not saying it's deserving of a red card (unless it's directly at a ref or player) but if the ref hears it, it's the players stupidity and it does deserve a yellow but that's it.
