Like the person below me, I am not writing this as a sore loser. The team I support joined over a year ago and has made it to the championship every season, losing only one.
The worst thing about this league are the officials. They are the absolute worst in any of the leagues our team plays in. On top of that, the league will not let the fans tell them anything or they will threaten you with losing the match. Now, I am of the opinion that it is totally fine to talk to the ref (even yell) as long as you are not insulting, and he is clearly in the wrong. The bad thing is that some of these refs think they are so special they will get angry from the beginning and even if you only say something like "HEY THAT WAS NOT OFFSIDES!" Sometimes their calls are so bad, you really can't help but say something, it would be weird if you did not. For example, one time one of them called a throw in before the ball even went out. I HAD to say something because that is absolutely not ok. I said "You already called it and it wasn't even out!" The ref got so upset that he basically said no more, or else.
-On top of officiating, their scheduling is terrible. Sometimes they say you won't get games at certain times but will schedule you there anyway.
-I have also seen some coaches have absolutely terrible attitudes against other coaches or parents and somehow the league does not ban them. By terrible attitudes, I mean cussing and yelling across the field and getting in a fan's face. (Over personal issues, and officiating calls.) How the ref let this happen I DO NOT know, the coaches have their spot in between the fields.
-The league "workers" (I guess, or volunteers maybe) do not uphold the rules evenly. One time, I saw a guy tell a team they could not warm up in between the fields, but they do not tell everyone to stop.
I will try to get a video of bad officiating to post for proof. If I was the coach, I would not keep the team in this league. read more
