[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can handle mistakes because we are all human, and the vast majority of reffing errors (other than the exception below) are debatable calls that don't meaningfully affect the outcome of a game.  It happens, move on.

The only thing that really makes me nuts (but I still won't yell at a ref) is when an AR clearly does not understand the offsides rule.  Unfortunately, that seems to be many of them, and it can be truly disruptive to the game.  We have had ARs who call offsides based on where players are when the ball is received rather than when forward pass is made, who call it anytime the team on offense ends up with the ball on a forward pass regardless of player position (that was particularly egregious), and when the offsides player was on the opposite side of the field from the active play.  It's really the only thing I consistently see refs getting wrong that has a meaningful impact on the game, and it's unfortunate because it's a pure training/education issue that the reffing body should be able to address.[/quote]

This and not calling fouls leading to injuries. The rest is just noise pollution.[/quote]
