Today, while refereeing a soccer game, I was accused of being racist, blind, and a fascist by spectators. The game was played by a group of third graders. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my first time as a hockey referee, for a game played by 7-year-olds. At one point, a little boy tripped another boy. Doing my job, I gave him 2 minutes in the penalty box. After the game, I was attacked by a mob of parents. I was even given an optometrist's business card. FML
Today, I was refereeing a kid's soccer game, and noticed that on the field next to me was a referee I hated working with. I told the other referee I was working with that he was the laziest and most dumbass referee I had ever worked with. She then slapped me, and told me that it was her grandpa. FML
Today, I was coaching a little league soccer game. I was telling one of my players to go cover another kid. I said "go cover the little yellow kid!" because he happened to be wearing a yellow shirt. He also happened to be Asian. I then got death stares from his family members. FML
Today, during a soccer game, some utter moron got the bright idea of trying to score a goal from his side of the field. I sarcastically made a big show of just barely stopping the ball, and nailed it off to the side. The ball hit a kid so hard in the head that he had to go to the hospital. FML
Today, I had a soccer game. A player from the other team hit me in the face. In the next half, she was the goalie and I was determined to score on her. When I finally got my chance to, everyone cheered, until I kicked the ball into the goal post and it bounced back and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I got kicked in the face at a soccer game. Everybody clapped. FML
Today, at a soccer game held by my girlfriend's family, some idiot went to kick the ball, missed by a mile, and hit the ground hard. So I started a slow, sarcastic clap. I got a load of angry looks, followed by verbal abuse when we found out he'd split his head open on the ground. FML
Today, I was refereeing at a kids' soccer tournament and a deer ran across one of the fields. Some of the parents then claimed that a deer on the field meant a free kick. FML
Today, my worst fear was realised while walking past an under 15’s football game. The ball landed right by me and I attempted to kick it back, except it went flying diagonally & ended up even further away. I’m a 36 year-old man and got roasted by a bunch of 15 year-old boys. FML
Today, my team was mistakenly scheduled against an over-60 team. I'd feel sorry for the old fogeys if they hadn't beaten us 3-0 and racked up seven yellow cards and a red on the way to doing so. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey, sometimes parents get way to excited in games. I've heard refs being called worse.

27- Seriously. I mean, people complain about Beavis and Butthead getting cancelled on MTV, but what does that have to do with music?

once upon a time, MTV did indeed play music. in fact, in the beginning, that was all they played. I an old enough to remember this fabled time, and I will tell you firsthand- it was glorious.

That reminds me of my brother's hockey coach. He got so mad that his child team lost that he took it out on the ref and made him cry. The ref was only 13

Because nobody in Europe gets overly excited about soccer. Get off your high horse before you fall.

That's two Americans in two days I've seen who think that Canada is in Europe. Not really doing much to fight stereotypes either, are you?

#25-what a disturbing little picture you have there. 0.o

I am not defending him buy maybe he didnt look at 21s profile and just assumed he was European. God I hope thats the case because if he actually thinks Canada is in Eruope then he probably shouldnt be on a computer.
CrazyGirlfriend 21
I disagree. if he does seriously think Canada is in Europe then he needs his computer to look up a freaking map haha.

at least you weren't the ref at my basketball game in the 5th grade. I went to a Catholic school and my mother had threatened to "beat the living shit" out of the ref..
