If the ref was so inclined to do so.  Especially if they happen over and watch a few minutes and feel they have a better understanding of what the game needs instead of someone who has been there from the start.  Anyone ever seen a LH cat come over and start telling a ref what to do?

Well, you totally missed the point as per usual on this forum - they have no right to tell the refs how to do their jobs, but they can help remove the parental factor AND be a second set of eyes when someone ACTUALLY makes a referee complaint via the forms on the website.  AND you have that LH official there to corraborate what happened when the time comes - if needed.  They serve many factors and many times can make a call to someone who DOES have the official word on the referees if they deem it to be THAT bad.  And IF the play no longer resembles the reason that person was called over to begin with, I guess that took care of itself didn't it?  Shoot holes where you like, blame who you like but if you don't make an official report as a coach or team manager to the right people, your bitching is just that - bitching.  Do something constructive that actually does something instead of bitching on a forum where people will either agree or disgree and still do NOTHING to actually get it reported to the right people.  i.e. NOTHING gets fixed.  SMH

Easy Holly I dont go throw rocks at you when you are bowling so just chill out.  Many refs will tell you that if it is not one sided they will let the girls play.  One sided then cards come out.  From what this thread has taught us, it was far from one sided.  I get you, go get the rep so he can tell the overbearing parents with the joysticks and sore throats to calm down.  That may even work, but what about the girls on the field?  They are the ones playing and falling.  I wasnt there so I do not know but I have seen my share of these matches. All the same.  
Player falls, parents blame the kid next to them.
Player gets pushed, same blame, but now you have a pissed off kid and her friend is pissed too.  They will get even.  That is sports.  Doesnt mean it is right, it just means it happens, but that is the match that lights the fire.  If it happens enough then it is 22 girls on the field at the same time, pissed. Thats the kerosene of the whole thing. Beginning to sound like this last game.  Now you add the illiterate parents to the mix and you have just introduced the atomic bomb to the battle.  What you fail to see Holly because you are probably reading the script to your next crappy movie is the parents probably caused most of the major problem.  As usual you are looking for someone else to blame.

I farmed that job out to LH years ago.  So if you need anything like heat or more Rikki Lake shows loaded on your ipad just go find one of those LH officials, they will fix you right up.

If you're such a hater of the Lake Highlands assembly why don't you just take your DD to DA (said it in my head like Seinfeld would say Newwwman) or ECNL?  I don't know, but you certainly don't want anyone trying to solve a problem that revolves around Lake Highlands or maybe you're still pissed that they took over your exhausting job of running hell - which I'm sure, trying to keep people like those on this forum happy, has to be like running hell.

No no no, you can't just "take" your DD to DA. You got to know the secret handshake.

Actually, I think the bigger issue is that the LH Referree turnover rate is so high that keeping good ones around for more than one season is very hard.  LH has to figure out how to keep them... incentives for staying, learning for more than one season.  Some of these Refs. look like they were brought in off the streets prior to the game, asked if they know anything about soccer and said "Your Hired!".

Running Hell has to be easier than pleasing soccer folks, you are right.  Not a hater of LH, my response just fit in with the present topic nicely and I am a smart ass so .....
My DD is in ECNL.
