Amen brother .......

If anyone has a good idea for a "perfect control system" along with "flawless scoring", please submit it to FIRST ASAP. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE on that field is trying to do the best they can and do the right thing. I suggest YOU volunteer next year as a Ref and get a little taste of what it takes to make the right call EVERY time. I've done this, it's tough!

To say we somehow "robbed" you is completely wrong. I'm sorry it happened, but I believe the right call was made and I think if it had happened to your allience, you would have pleaded the same case for a re-match.

It's over, done, let's move on and be positive. Next year maybe everything will be perfect.
