I too went out to the Palmetto Cup this weekend. The officiating was awful through and through. At the semi-final at AHS between SV and Eastside the center official awarded a PK to SV with 1 minute left in Regulation...1 MINUTE? Unless it is a totally rash challenge why would you decide to be the show and influence the outcome of the game? I could understand all this if Sean Flynn didn't go up to the official after the game and embrace him like a father figure. It was actually quite disturbing. Is that really supposed to be what the game is all about? Who you know?
I also saw some of the worst throw-ins ever! What is it with this helicopter spinner that I see all the time? It's straight back and over-the-head...nothing sideways and the motion must be one at all times...none of this start and stop crap that I keep seeing all over the place.
