    I have referees pissed at me.

    I pointed out that the area needs more soccer referees. I did this after coach of City Slicker High, who is a ref, was the center for a game between Podunk and Bumfuck. CSH was playing Podunk the next night.

    Ref assignor instructed all referees to not speak to me and refer any questions to the state association. Too bad he didn't also take out an ad.

    That would have been a lot funnier if I'd changed "Johnny" to "Eric"

    I actually am on first-name basis with a lot of soccer refs in the area, just because I've seen them at so many games. I usually go to them after the games to get information on the cards and stuff, so I can get the "official ruling" and usually end up making small talk with them while I wait for the coaches to wrap up their post-game chats so I can go interview them.
