I got a lot of problems with Sark, but this ain't one. They have been shitty...goes both ways.
If you are a ref are you scared to call a questionable call against us? All Sark does during a game is just look dumbfounded and walk away when you tell him.
I think you're missing the point. It's the passive aggressive way that Sark brings it up as a means of pointing to it as why the loss wasn't his responsibility.
Its an argument, and may be a good one. I've just always been amazed at how big of a pussy he's been around the refs and think he should have spoken up both in games and afterwards earlier. Maybe its years of playing soccer and having ongoing discussions with refs during games, but you can really get into their heads if you do it right by agreeing with them on good calls and riding them hard on iffy ones (heck, he's got people up high watching each play so he knows pretty quick if they screwed one up...I didn't see him ride a single ref once during the game on the Charles call). Done right I've seen it influence calls going forward. 50-50 calls will go against us now because we are an undisciplined team and because none of the refs are remotely worried about Sark riding them during the game or after...the precedent has already been set, and its been set by Sark himself.
Its too late in the year to see any change, but I'd rather point out Sark's numerous other failing than harp on this one (bitch about a legit bad call that was key but didn't change the outcome).
