The annual thread ritual- complaining about the refs.
Not all are good, but most do a good job. Mistakes get made, even my the pros, and kids need to learn sometimes things don't go your way.
Parents should 1) learn the rules themselves (they probably never played the game) 2) chill the fuk out. It's youth soccer. It's not that important. If it's an issue of players safety have your coach handle it. Otherwise just cheer your kids on, politely. Going nuts turns off the kids and young refs. Young refs become older experienced refs, but not when so many quit in the first few years
