Have you ever, or do you pick up a fight with the referee or umpire on a sporting field/arena?

Like screaming....

(Out)
What!? (Out!)
What!? (The ball was out)
You gotta be kidding!

The ball's in!
Everyone could see that the ball's in!
Chalk dust...
Everyone could see that there was chalk dust
.....

Screw ball, call yourself an umpire?
You're a screw ball


That sort of thing? Nope. Never been on any sporting field with a referee. Well, at school back in the day. But generally I do not go to a sporting field or arena.
But if I would, and my name was Jane McEnroe... I would sure as heck pick a fight with the umpire if I felt they were wrong.

I have coached soccer for almost 30 years, and I did earn a Yellow Card from a referee after arguing an obvious OffSides call.... then offering the referee my spare set of glasses so he could see better.

Life is so much more easier with VAR these days, ain't it :blush:
