philly, you say you've been a ref for 25 years, yet you make the comment "it's hard for somebody, once they have gone down, with the intent to stop the ball, to just stop," as if that's an excuse for fouling someone (see my post above). and then, you pretty quickly call soccerboy a moron (anger management issues, maybe?). i can only hope that after 25 years of officiating, you have officially retired.
