So you would prefer a parent of one of the kids playing,or a club official of one of the teams playing?How about everyone not start their day convinced the referees are out to get them and cheat their little Johnny out of a win.Trust me the referees department are trying their best to make it as fair as possible.But some people need to maybe understand that the referees and players dont take it anywhere near as seriously as the parents and coaches all assuming the refs are cheats.
