LSU/Refs cheating?

Jump to latest Follow Reply

If he can't check himself, he has no business officiating. I've watched literally hundreds of football games over the course of my life and that's the first time I've seen a ref deliver a forearm shiver to a ball carrier in a crucial situation.

The guy blows a call, didn't have the angle, out of position, discipline him. He tackles a fucking player? He should be relieved of his duties, as it's obvious he's too fucking stupid to be a competent official.

Funny, the SEC says "no biggie". Hmm. I wonder what they would have to gain from keeping a corrupt official around? You know, a guy that they could turn to and say "we'd like to see LSU win, wink wink".

I work construction. If I drop a wheelbarrow of crete, I get chewed out. If I pop the tires of the cement truck and catch it on fire, I'm fairly certain I'd be let go. This isn't a ref "not paying attention". The guy takes two fucking steps OUT OF POSITION, then attacks the fucking guy.

I think the fact that there's been a lot of questionable refereeing in the past 2 years of LSU/uSC games has a lot of people going "what the hell?" I can't say it's fixed or if it's not, but it does leave you a little curious.

there is questionable officiating in lots of SEC games. Usually (coinedentally?) they benefit the team that's "expected" to win. This has been going on for years, and the fans hate it. But the SEC rarely if ever admit any wrongdoing or mistakes from their officials.

Ask Bama fans about our game back in '04-ish. Corey Webster took out their WR in the endzone and intercepted a pass. No flag. right in front of the ref.

this is their standard reponse to being questioned about their officials.

I wouldn't even calls those steps, more like scraping down the line of scrimmage then makes the tackle.

Your opinion so you can have it. I'll side with the folks who are involved in the decision. If this is the beginning of a trend, then he'll be relieved of duties, otherwise, just as all the parties involved have stated, it's not worth a guy losing his job. But you obviously believe this was intentional (based on the all caps comments and then "attacks" verb), so there's no point in us discussing any further because I believe the opposite. And having made a similar mistake, I can see it happening.

How 'bout even if it was a mistake, it was still such a mistake that proves he isn't qualified to hold that position? How many times does a ref get to tackle the QB before he is let go?

It simply isn't that egregious an offense...heck it has no where near the bearing on the game as other calls that definitively change the outcome of the game. So yeah, if it's a mistake, I think you're entitled to one. If it's NOT a mistake, then there's a real crime here and I'd agree he needs to be gone. But I don't believe that for a second.

matcar, what kind of behavior from a referee would be grounds for dismissal?

What if he got caught up in the shoving and decked a player?
Even the coach of the team who got "jobbed" on the play doesn't see it...and he's one known for making a case when there's one to be made.

What good comes from complaining when it's obvious they won't do anything about it anyway?
I think we're all OK here.

Twice. So as long as they rotate, referees can be taking down players every week. :p

He DIRECTLY ended the play with an intentional, forward-driving hit.

It's like we weren't even watching the same video. Agree to disagree.
