palyer 94, put on the stripes and step on the field. Anybody can officiate from the cheap seats! Were we perfect today, nope. Were all the plays ran today perfect, nope! There was 5 games played today and were all officiated well. Next year starts now. Get in the game and referee, see what it's like...

It was a late hit by a Chilli player, who was ejected from the game. When they took him away he was moving fingers and toes, but wa shaving some stinging in his neck.

Too bad the game ended ugly, but the weather was just as ugly.

Every coach from every team should get the award. Wins and losses matter, but wins and losses don't show up to practise. Wins and losses don't watch game film. Wins and losses don't give up too many hours in week to count. Nope, for me, it is every coach who gives up their own time to help some kids...

D&C,

What is a "loosing' team ???!?!?!?!

How quickly the topic turned from Atom and Peewee to something else. Gord has done a great job and has my respect. But someone posted the right answer, most atom or peewee kids don't remember the score of the game they just played. But ask them if they had fun and what was the best part; most answer...

Going out on a limb aren't ya Brent???

Chilliwack has the best turf field.

WRSS is the best grass.

They had the same problem last year.

As a referee in all levels of community, there is times when you know a hit is coming and you want to blow the play dead before it happens, but you can't.
Somedays ......

As for me: George, You need to put on some stripes and work a few games and see how it works on the field. Anyone can officiate from the sidelines. Wife tells me I do not look good in stripes....now plaid!!! 8) Plus..I would want my own Segway for going up and down the sidelines, or a bottle of O2 i...

George, You need to put on som estripes and work a few games and see how it works on the field. Anyone can officiate from the sidelines. A normal quarter will take about 20-25 minutes in midget. A running time quarter will take 12 minutes! So if we had been running the clock in my last example, at t...

Cowboy, these are always a good read with some great discussion from other football people.
Ranking teams seems to be an art and you do it very well, you will have to show me how you do it.

[quote="Ref-42"]First off, Both Leagues support the Officials very well! I have very high respect for both Gord and Leah. I have no b*tches or complaints with either league.

I agree. These two leagues do a great job in supporting the officials.

To clarify the reasons you think the mercy rule should stay .. 1. The losing team gets frustrated and starts cheap shotting. 2. The losing teams players ask you to invoke the mercy rule. Does that sum things up ? If it's #1, then that can be remedied by tossing the player out and/or suspending them...

Coach, you are asking the wrong people. We don't make the rules that are applied in games, we only enforce them. You need to be asking your association president.

He's already scared. One comment from Miss Commish and done !

Langley does a great job as well! I haven't had the pleasure of a visit yet this, it's comin!

No bias here, but a whole lot of great football !

If associations started the process at Peewee, the education process would be much better. But the problem is too many kids want a special number and the coaches give it to them or it may be the only jersey that fits is the wrong number for the position. We all know the solution, but some teams don'...

Pretty soon we will be using the BCS System !
