Subject: Re: "Saturday's Referees Set Back Officiating Writ Large by Decades" -- Klatt Author: Tiger69 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:19:46 10/23/24 Wed In reply to: An Observer 's message, ""Saturday's Referees Set Back Officiating Writ Large by Decades" -- Klatt" on 13:47:37 10/23/24 Wed Precedent or not the H-P decision has been discussed ad nauseum and the officials followed the proper procedures at the time. If harvard had not been involved, this game would have slipped quietly into history by now. Nearly every team feels cheated by officiating at some time.

Here come the water bottles. Dozens of them thrown from the stands onto the field. The game is delayed while stadium staff pick them up. Gee, what a surprise. College football can thank the officials at the Georgia-Texas game earlier in the season. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:03:55 11/10/24 Sun What about the hat trick in hockey! Want to get rid of that beloved tradition? And didn't Rangers fans take to hurling octopi onto the ice in a bye gone era? May not be entirely apropos but reminds me of then newly minted color commentator Johnny Unitas, decrying a fan who had thrown a pint (1/2 pint?) empty liquor bottle at the head of an official during a game he was calling. His words something to the effect, hey that's not American, that's something they do in those countries that play soccer! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
