Referees, umpires, whatever the hell you want to call them, they all are going to make mistakes, but I gotta tell you, this one is bad. A referee’s main job in that position is to call off-sides. Nothing more, nothing less but to make sure that the offense isn’t beyond the defense when the ball is played. Most often they air on the side of caution and call off-sides because giving the offense a free opportunity like this is pretty terrible.
