Soccer referees who don’t act as fair and observant participants in kids games should be ashamed to collect their pay.

Once again, our 12 year old’s soccer team suffered at the hands of a clueless ref. How can you not stop play when our goalie is bent over in obvious pain? Did she forget her glasses yesterday or is she always this bad? Because she failed to stop play, our opponents were allowed to score at the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

On a brighter note, I continue to be impressed with the sportsmanship our coaches show during and after games. They dispute the call at the time but I’ve never seen them let it escalate.
