The tired and old "tradition" of posters to the message board critiquing and commenting on the officiating has reared its ugly head already in week 1. Anybody who posts on a game that he/she attended or watched, and makes comments such as "the refs sucked" or "the refs cheated one team out of a win" should have the common decency to expand on these "observations" when asked to. If not, then please refrain from commenting on the officiating at all.

Of course that is your answer. That tells me all that I need to know.

That did NOT answer my question.

Provide some examples please.

We don't use the term "White Hat" anymore, it is to be known strictly as the Referee from now on.

What are you talking about?

I applaud those parents of Land O'Lakes High School Football players, and the players themselves, for standing up and letting their voices be heard to the Pasco County School Board. These Public School Taxpayer-Supported Public Servants need to be reminded who they work for. I have been told that Viera's football team is now practicing, so that is a step in the right direction.

The Viera Admin. did not make this decision, the Brevard County School Board did.

I consider them linked, PinellasFB.

That is still not good enough in my view. It is some timing that proposed property tax bills have been mailed out in Volusia County, that makes it always a great time to remember just who these public school employees work for and who the real bosses are. Thankfully, Florida is a state that holds these taxpayer-funded public servants accountable.

In around the 15 years of visiting and reading message board posts about Florida High School Football, this is the absolute worst post that I have ever read by far. The ABSOLUTE WORST!

What makes you convinced that holding fouls are not being penalized, but occurring on any particular play? Do you have specific examples? Also, could you explain what "phantom calls" you believe are being penalized, but not occurring?

SportsFan, you and I both know that you are 100% correct. However, it is hard for some people to see this with their preconceived notions.

You could just imagine being a player who is completely innocent, now being punished with no games to play though no fault of their own. If I was a parent of such a player, I would make my voice heard in that meeting that is coming up. This is why unlimited transfers for players for any reason at all, not questions asked, nobody else'e business is the RIGHT idea for Florida High School Football.

I agree with this SportsFan. This has been a reality of Florida High School Football for at least the last 25 years. "Transfer rules" have nothing to do with lack of attendance at games at all.

What do you mean by "home cooking" LongtimeVero?

No, you are not Pinstripes. You are trying to stir trouble, like you always do, Pinstripes.

You're confused Pinstripes, what else is new.

Yes, your points are very valid SportsFan.

Yes, thankfully so.

I believe that it might be a lot more than "at times" Ray.

No thank you VeniceIndianFan, please don't. We already have too many leftists posting to this message board.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind delivering some old-fashioned "Coach Speak" to Pinstripes and other posters sometimes.

Not to get political, but of course you infuse politics like you always do, Pinstripes.

Your education continues Pinstripes. Have you learned something this time? May I suggest thinking before spouting off next time, Pinstripes.
