Children's Soccer referees are the biggest jokes I've seen. There seems to be no vetting process to be one as the people who are usually signed up for it are very incompetent. They're either retarded teenagers or retarded adults who always seem to be sick and have incredibly short tempers.
I've heard and witnessed numerous incidents involving the referees acting like Spineless wussy jackasses, but this past weekend took the cake. After ten minutes of playing the kid they got to referee announced he was ending the game and sending both teams home after both coaches snapped at him for not paying attention to the field due to repeatedly turning around to have sneezing fits. When the crowd rightfully booed this, the referee threw a tantrum, throwing his hat on the ground and screaming his head off about what a bunch of fucking idiots the crowd was. When one of the coaches went to get the security guard, the referee flipped the crowd off and went back to his car announcing he was going to be filing a complaint with the association. Due to the retards at the local association, the game is going to have to be rescheduled, which is very annoying as I and the other track regulars can't use the track during games due to the referees association enforcing a ban on people walking the track during the games as they view it as a distraction (There's a current lawsuit about this as the association doesn't own the field or the track) .
I think there should be a few ground rules in place for being a referee at a children's soccer game. Among them, you have to be over the age of twenty-one, you have to take allergy medicine, and the first time you raise your voice you're out. So those are my thoughts. What are yours.
