Balls....balls I tell you.

Brilliant.

 

Chef, if you ever get tired of starting threads about games you ref, feel free to just PM them straight to me. ;D

Had he already been out of his box and/or was a warning given earlier in the night about it?

 

And spare the rest of us.

 

Don't like it, Spnited?

 

I immediately shivered.

 

Shouldn't let the fact that it is senior night or a home game or that it is late in the game influence your decision to make or not make a call.

 

Nothing really to add other than to say that "balls" is a really good exclamation of frustration.

Had an old boss who would exclaim it whenever something would go wrong with his computer. He'd have this blank look at the screen for a few seconds, then, "Aw, balls!"

It's a good release and won't necessarily bring you the stares that 'fuck' or 'shit' would.

 

I think I'm going to try that tonight when my computer crashes. ;D

 

Other ref had told him to stay in his box once before.

I have three frames of thought here;

First and foremost; I will never criticize an official for making a call.

50 seconds left; Unless this coach is standing at halfcourt telling you that your mother is a whore, leave him alone.

50 seconds left; What good does it do you now to piss and moan at the refs now? Do you think you're going to get any more calls in the last 50 seconds than in the other 31 minutes because you threw a tantrum? Hell no.
