The refs make bad calls sometimes, but they certainly aren't bad enough to warrant the abuse Angell gives them. Rest assured they are constantly working on their refereeing and trying to improve. Angell works himself into a lather over completely correct calls as well, so you can't palm it off on the refs by saying its all because they made a bad call.
Bad calls happen. Its part of the game. Angell should get the fudge over himself.
Everything you mentioned there should be addressed, including the hard stuff. But lets start with the easy shark, like the muppet in charge of HBU.
To further quote you: "
I understand completely why he does it, and anyone who has played with me or seen me coach will know I have a very similar disposition to Angell at times," By your own admission you are as equally as bad as Angell. I get a sense that your view is more personal than factual - is there some history there between you 2?
Nope, never met the dude. Never interacted with him, but have seen his antics first hand at multiple National League games. Nothing personal about this, although I wouldn't call it factual either because its my opinion. If I was NZF I'd be looking at making his bans longer and longer as his childish behaviour continues. His team are not the only ones subjected to NZF refereeing, but he's the only one throwing tantrums a 3 year old would be proud of.
I wouldn't say I'm equally bad, because I know when to shut up and I've never been sent off or banned for my dissent, just a healthy collection of yellows.
I do like that you ignored every argument I made in the last post and decided to get personal instead.
