Perry should have lost by 50 better thank your coaches son and ref.

Oh golly gosh, thank goodness it was only 23 instead of 50, I am so thankful.

Apparently you missed the point I was attempting to make. I've always been supportive of referees, I have been one. I watch the calls they make in any game I am watching. Generally speaking I like to think I have an appreciation of the difficulty of the job referees do and that is reflected in my assessment of their performance during a game. Any game, not just the North Laurel - PCC game, but I am referring to several high school games we have taken in.

The games I have seen this season, as a whole (and not just North games - several different high school games) - officials are making it more and more difficult for those of us who defend them from inevitable criticism to keep doing so. Some of the errors made have been astonishingly bad, and have left a lot of us wondering two things: do they actually know the rules of the game? And secondly, are they actually watching the game properly? That is where I am coming from it has little to do with the North game per se' and more to do with the job the Refs are doing this season in a lot of games!

:please:

Good response, I really like how logical your explanation is and now that i've pondered it myself, I really agree with the bolded part of your post. I've seen several refs in several games over the past few years especially (high school, middle school, college, etc.) make either the incorrect call or no call at all and it does leave me to wonder whether some of these guys know the rules. As a Perry fan, i'm just accustomed to everyone saying we cheated them regardless of the actual outcome of the game and it starts to get a bit much after several years.
