;	It`s playoff time, so please, please work as a team out there. There`s nothing worst than having one ref make a bad call and the other 2 saying "Hey, it`s not my call." If you see a bad call, huddle up and fix it. I know it`ll be greatly appreciated. thanks

;	"Ref" That`s no way to be. He was just trying to tell you how to do your job. We all love monday morning quarter backs.....

;	The crew working Herndon last night did a good job, probably was the best officiated night that I have seen so far. Great job

;	I don`t know. The refs tried to cheat us out of 43 secs at the end of the first half. We argued with "Blue" and got our time back, and ended up scoring a td. It`s probably the only way we stayed in the game last night. Good game Dawgs. Refs, stop cheating teams on the time. That could`ve cost us more in the end. We pay a lot of money for our fair share of time...

;	Good point, Kearney #2, but it`s partially your fault. Someone needs to constantly remind me to turn over my hourglass

;	I`m sorry about the time. I closed my eyes and dozed off for 20 mins. Woke up and thought the half was over. My B.

;	I can only imagine how hard it must be to officiate a game with so many things going on and so many things to keep an eye out for. While I have nothing but respect for the referees and the job they`ve done this season, I do feel there could be room for improvement. While I didn`t have a clock of my own, there seemed to be a couple of instances last night where time itself seemed to slow to a grinding halt or jump ahead. I know there are timeouts and everything involved, but two minutes shouldn`t take 10 minutes to go by. Between 30 seconds and 23 seconds, a kick return and two plays went off. It just seemed.. Off. Other than that, no complaints here.

;	yeah the refs tried to get us in the first half. we challenged him on it and he corrected the problem. dawgs call a time out with 43 seconds left at the 2 yd line, score on the next play and the half is over. Little shady to me, but he fixed it, we scored and that was that. just couldn`t finish the game. they need to have a ref responsible for just the clock out there, that way there are no mistakes. i can recall a few games where both teams went 3 and out on their first possessions and the half was over

;	3 and out? Hell our last game on our first drive the first half ran out. In FF adult softball we as Umpires got rated by the captain at the end of each game and our pay was directly tied into that rating. Start at $25 a game and could go up to almost $30 if you held a high satisfaction rating. Maybe something like that should be tried with the Refs, along with annual training. Just a thought.
