[quote=SoccerRef][quote=Anonymous]Not trying to be "all refs suck" here...but I have a actual question. 
Two weeks ago, U10 tournament. Ref was wearing a heavy coat the whole game, barely took his hands out of his pockets, and never left the center circle. 
I know all the complaining in the world doesn't help, but is there anything realistic that we as parents can do when the refs seems particularly bad?[/quote]

First of all, never go over to a ref after the game to criticize...nothing good will come from it. Even if you're totally right.

If things are really bad though, email the referee assignor, and tell them as honestly as you can what the problems were, and send a picture if there's a situation like this. 
The assignors around here are really big on professionalism, and would want to know if someone is acting like this. 
I've seen an assignor at a tournament yell at a ref for not having their socks pulled up, or not having their shirt tucked, so something like you describe would be dealt with.

As for contact info, if it's at a tournament, look on the website...there's almost always a link for refs. 
At a normal game, email someone in your club...they should know who the assignors are. [/quote]
