The refs in my Adult league are horrible. They are friends with the guys who have been there the longest, and being that my team is about a year old and was started by newbies we never get the benefit of anything. The refs chat it up in the faceoff circle with the other team, makes jokes, hang out by their bench and shoot the shit. They make the right calls when they are black and white decisions, however if there is any gray, they side with the other team.

In reply to Rob Benneian.

Perhaps I’m jaded after having lived in the big city for so many years, but I’ve given up hope on such a utopian society.

Like I said, for all the things they do well and get right, the only people that WOULDN’T like that are other referees and soccer moms. And I mean no disrespect to individual referees, because they’ve got it rough. But I PROMISE there has a better system than the one we’re stuck with.

Hell might as well not even have referees for all the good they do, amiright?
