In all seriousness, I want to clarify again that I was not condoning or encouraging a physical altercation with a referee. I was doing something else when I typed that and never came back to it after that.

Obviously a horrible look and I apologize. We had a fight last year in the stands and it was absolutely horrible. Would never want that.
I don’t say this in a braggedocious way. But it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.

I get not wanting to give the kid a card for something that happens in the heat of an emotional moment and really didn't hurt anyone, but yeah, that's a textbook definition of taunting and I could see that video being used to train officials. Lol.

EDIT - Please don't beat my ass.

I think I've maybe had a few seasons with multiple obstruction calls. Usually it's the defender turns to look at the attacker and moves into their path and away from the ball.
The ref didn't call obstruction. The AR called offsides.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Maybe not a perfectly officiated match. Here are images of the kick from spot which was saved but the AR said the goalie left her line early.

Shots were taken from video as the ball was kicked and just after.

Yeah, looks like someone was on the Prosper payroll.

Kidding.

Bad mistake. It has to be obvious in this situation.

Hearing about a fight in Region IV boys regionals. Don't know which teams or which division. Surely there's someone out there ready to blame the refs though.

Hope they got their asses beat!

But not in a physically violent kind of way of course.

And remember at this stage it's refs from other regions who almost all are higher rated USSF.

Ah the regional tournament. Where my newly minted head coach ass found out about technical areas and that some referees are sticklers about coaches staying in them.

Eastlake kid was Messi-ing the ball in a free kick and Flower Mound coach was yelling to the AR he was moving it. AR firmly told him to go back to the box and be quiet.

Most complaining to the referees I've seen since I watched the Nations league.

A kid was dribbling the ball holding his arm for a handball call looking back at the referee.

Referee just blew the whistle on a set piece while the ball was in the air for PK.

Header scored. PK saved.

That is horrible refereeing.

Man, I get judgment mistakes and most fouls are 100% subjective.

But when they're encroaching on every free kick and throw in, it's not a question of judgment but just not enforcing the rules.

Tied 1-1 in OT. We should've won with the Pk and goal that was disallowed.

I was laughing at the coach having a similar thing. Sorry.

According to the players on the field who were talking to the referee after the goal, he verbally told them no goal because of obstruction. I too just assumed that he called offsides but that isn't what was said by the head referee on the field to the players involved.

I know the Eastlake boys and Flower Mound boys coaches very well. I also know the Flower Mound girls coach very well. He was on the sideline Tuesday night.

They're all good people and we've got each other's personal contact information. I've reffed FM Boys coaches' son at the club, HS, college, and professional levels.

Cool.

Wasn't sure if that was you running the flag on the Eastlake side or not.

Not necessarily higher-rated in USSF. Highly-rated in their local TASO chapter and USSF are two different things. Me, for example. I'm the lowest-rated you can get in USSF but I just did a Regional QF playoff game in TASO. the highest assignment that a ref can get from their local chapter assignors.

Local assignors are done now. They don't pick the Regional and State officials. UIL has a selection process that occurs with that.

Super tight looking at the video. Which, for me, would make me keep my flag down. AR was a lot closer than the video camera though.
