North Adams v. South Webster

[MacklinCrosby1988]

North Adams was able to pull away 1-0! It was an amazing season for our Webster boys, sad they couldn't get the job done but proud of how far we went. -Mack

I believe Webster was denied a goal with an incorrect offside call, not to mention an over the back foul in the box that could’ve also been called resulting in a PK.

I heard that the refs were not the best but I am not knowledgeable enough on soccer rules to really make a good opinoin here. -Mack

22:42 left in the game. Set piece by Webster. Pretty obvious.

Yes, absolutely robbed of a goal on a phantom offsides call. I understand officials missing calls as nobody can see everything. But calling or guessing something is 100% unacceptable. This was a regional game & deserved better. That guy has no business reffing HS soccer let alone a tournament game. The guy didn’t even know where to position himself to call offsides.

Wow! I had no clue it was this bad! I'm a foreigner to soccer and only went to the game as my daughter's boyfriend is on the team. Sad to see the refs were actually that bad. i just assumed it was a bunch of parents getting mad at they always do haha -Mack

I agree there's nothing close to an offside offense in that clip. He's in decent position initially but failed to advance with the ball. I know this official. His explanation is that he had an offside offense from the player furthest from him (who looks to be onside by a half-stride anyway, but it's close) and thought the player was involved with the GK or played the ball (he didn't). That's a common mix-up and the fix is a conversation between the center and the AR here before the restart.

That said— he's a solid ref, I've watched him work in person... if we fire him and every ref below his level, we'd have zero high school soccer in the state.
