Yes the referees messed up on this game but you are so perfect right, you never made a mistake in your life? I know that hurt that head referee past the point that you could imagine. He has 30+ years in officiating and coaching teams himself right here in New Hanover County, that speaks for his experience and this is the first time he has had to suffer because of a wrong call in 30 years. Wow! I know that this is the start of many kids' bright futures but they also suppose to be enjoying themselves out there and loving what they do. Sounds to me as if many of the parents wish they could go back and correct possible mistakes they have made through their own children. I'm only upset because of the negative postings about this game. For the ones saying that they do such a horrible job in other games and pop warner games lets see you get out there and do it. You ever heard dont knock someone for something you may not be able to do yourself. Alot of these men have a passion for sports and its genuine. Imagine your passion for something and how it would eat you up inside by making a mistake and letting those kids down. Not only letting them down but also yourself. Just remember how perfect you are in anything you do and how many mistakes that you have made people dont know about and it directly affected them! Yes they do need a refresher course, maybe more than one. They take in alot of information and sometimes things slip through. If you say it never happened to you, that's a lie. Those same kids out there on that field will prevail believe it because true talented can never be taken away by anyone,anything, or dissappointment, but only by God! I'm sorry to both teams because I know the call was bad, but I also know every official on that team wishes different and regrets that night!
