The ref there are bad you got one talking to his buddy most of the game on one of the side lines, you got another one on the other side who could not see if the QB past the line before a throw or get the correct spot of a guy going out of bounds right in front of him. They don`t make any calls one guy had a chain on and no call. We have been playing for 7 weeks now and even in the fifth week 2 guys on the same team had pockets and no calls were made. Can we get a refund on these "REF`S they just don`t care!!!!!!!

;	First of all, If you are worried about the refs then you are not helping out your team!! Those are cheap fouls you are looking for and that didn`t changed the outcome of your game. Lets talk about the (3) "Illegal Participation" fouls you had for having 9 players on the field. Which lead to the others teams gohead touchdown. Also your team had 1st and goal from the 21 yard line and not scoring. I guess thats the refs fault as well!! Its funny how teams look for a reason why they lost and its always the refs being the easy way out. You are right, this is the 7th week, so you need to worry about finishing the season strong and makeing the playoffs and less about the refs!!

;	Game was this? Because the refs called a 9 players on the field in CHUDS/BLAZ game at the 2 minute warning and he said " The ball doesn`t even have to be snapped once the team breaks a huddle with 9 or more on the field the flag comes out". This was on first down after a kickoff. Guy`s where still coming on and off from the special teams. Pretty ridic call if you ask me I csn understand in a the middle of a drive but poss. had just changed hands!

;	I am not looking to use the ref`s as an excuse for the loss these are just some of the examples that have been going on all season! Yes the examples are "BS" calls but they are out there to ref and not just over see a sand lot game they get paid for their work. And we play in a league that has rules so enforce them like the rules book says or find a new job. I don`t want cheap calls but that just shows you that they are not enforcing the rules that they are hired to do.

Yep

;	It seems to that the teams that are not winning are the teams that are having a problem with the refs... But I know the refs at Wakefield and they have done several Championship Games at States... Ref`s are there to "Manage" the game not to decide the outcome. Thats up to the teams to do that, so bring your "A" Games!!!

;	We have played at Wakefield, Greenbrier, and ECL this year and by far the refs at Wakefield were not as good as the others. It seems they do not make all the correct calls and just let things go. It also seems to me that when we asked them about certain call or non call they basically just blew off the inquiry on it. I do not care if a penality is called or not called but they should be able to answer why or why not it was called especially is the play is in the rulebook. BTW - My team has a winning records.

right

;	Were they on the phone while doing the championship games? Were they short changing the teams by running a fast clocks during the championshp games? Did they know simple and basic "safety related" league rules like penalizing teams for wearing shorts w/ pockets? (This rule was put in so people wouldn`t get their fingers broken while pulling flags) Those things has nothing to do with reffing a game or making bad calls. It has everything to do with professionalism and earning your paycheck. So what`s your response to that?

;	To all that has sent a reply to this post and has said that it is easy to blame the Ref`s for a loss. This is said towards you only there is not one word said that we lost the game because of the Ref`s we lost because "WE" lost as a team. This was to point out that the refs at Wakefield don`t have the passion for the game like us players all we want is that the refs come out and do there jobs.
