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.

Why is it every team in soccer that loses blames it on the refs
