Bad officials

Exactly.

Who was the line judge on the CW side of the field? After the facemask non-call, I saw him get quite animated with a CW coach. Never mind that the play happened right in front of the official and it was a blatant facemask.

Hell, as I was leaving, I heard more Norton folks complaining about the refs than CW folks.

Did any of the other almost dozen folks on here get a message from this cat calling you an idiot for being critical of the officiating today, or am I the lucky one?

Officials have a tough job there are many times that what I am 100% sure is a blown call turns out to be the correct call after watching the film (The Catch out of bounds Clintwood vs Lee I was 100% sure that the Lee kid caught the ball but after watching the film it was a great call)

I think that everyone gets more upset with missed calls but the same group gets upset if the refs call everything so it is almost a no win situation they do get payed so I don't feel to sorry for them though LOL

At the Clintwood game I thought that there was a lot of Holding that could have been called but it was not called on either team so it is just like a umpire in baseball with a big strikezone the team/players need to adjust.

The only Missed call I can really shake my head over was the missed Facemask in the 4th which while it does not change the games outcome could have caused injury (this was textbook 15 yard facemask) After watching the film I have no clue how it was missed other than it being an attempt to finish the game as quickly as possible and I don't want to believe that since I think that most officials want to do a quality job

I agree with you Counts that most want to do a good job. Nobody expects perfection. You being an old lineman, you are prone to seeing the holding and such more. I honestly didn't notice it as much. Some but not that much.
Honestly I could have dealt with the guy missing the call on the facemask and just saying he missed it. We have had a few officials who will make a mistake and admit it, and honestly I got more respect for an official like that, then the ones who argue and try to convince you that they are right. I've normally noticed that the ones who totally whiff a call and are to proud to admit it, will turn and immediately start trying to question/jump the coach, not listen. What got me the most mad on Saturday was that instead of admitting he missing the call, he started mouthing to the crowd.

Truthfully I have nothing for any fan who tries to confront an official. It looks bad for the community, the program, the coaches and the team. That being said, as an official, you shouldn't go out of your way to cause/provoke confrontations.
