Re: Is this fair?

When I tuned into the web-cast I saw you guys getting pulled off the field, what happened was a very uncommon occurrence. Every team has probably been in situations that they thought was unfair. Sometimes the situation is just out of your control and you have to move on from it, and not let it get to you. I can tell you from being on the short end of the stick in several of these situations that the best thing to do is not let it bother you and cause more problems for you.

In defense of the Refs: In situations like these, their hands are usually tied by regulations. These regulations are designed to make every single competition refereed in the same way. In most cases it keeps everything fair and eliminates misinterpretation of the rules and personal whims. Sometimes it leads to unfortunate situations. It works far more times than it fails, but we usually only hear about the failures.
