Well well well...here we have AGAIN the beauty of the game. We all look forward to an wonderful afternoon of our soccer (amateur BTW), with the best weather you can have (good for those in the beer garden) and then find out that BCSA or whoever appoint the referees treat this ocassion as a PROFESSIONAL GAME, this is having two teams from the same League that play each other twice or more every season and know each other very well, and the intelligence of the power body in this province is to call NOBODY to officiate the game (this NOBODY knows crap about soccer in the mailand, as I believe this person is from Nanaimo, for what I gathered on the sidelines), to make better (or worst) NOBODY learned before the game that he will be having an assessment on his performance. Knowing this, NOBODY shits on his pants as he wants to impress the person evaluating his showing and we all saw the result of that. I was expecting complain from West Van but when I read Smallsy's report it confirm my dissapoinment as this could be a very good game to play and/or watch.
For the last few years, this is happening. The Leagues, I mean all of them should request to BCSA, that the proper referees should take part in this PROVINCIAL GAMES, and more important NO ASSESSMENTS. They can evaluate the officials without telling them.
Really just fell for the players that took part in this game and for the sidelines who went all the way to witness this.
Just my two pennies.

Hey NOBODY FYI That's when JAGS started his soccer career
Why add another layer of scrutiny to the official in the middle in a provincial game? Not sure who reffed our second round game versus WV but he was fine. Probably not being assessed either.
If these Refs can't handle a simple assessment in a BC Provincial game how can they ever expect to move up to the national level or higher? Which is why they get assessed.
Thanks for agreeing to my post anyways, with that you confirmed where JAGS started his soccer.
I agree Whistle Blower. I figured these games are more than competitive. I am not bashing as I thought the reffing was pretty good. I did not see the game everyone seems to be going on about. I am positive that it had to be the refs fault and that the players had nothing to do with things getting out of hand
Delta vs Sapp in the 1st round was also a game that was being assessed. Few calls both teams questioned but it went both ways and I don't think it affected the outcome.
