[quote=Anonymous]Yeah - I have been surprised at the frequency and tone of comments directed at the referees over the course of several years watching my kids play competitive soccer. Most of the time, the comments are all about fouls — usually alleged fouls that are not called, and sometimes fouls that are called. It seems to me that the inherent vagueness of how much upper body contact is permissible — exactly how much of a contact sport soccer is — exacerbates the problem. It’s often difficult for the refs to get it right in real time, I’m sure. Heck - even in the past when I was drafted as a sideline assistant, it was sometimes hard to tell who kicked the ball out and whose throw in it was. I don’t know what the answer is, but paying the refs more is probably a good idea, both to attract more adults to the job and to increase the quality. [/quote]
