There is a difference between "criticizing" and "critiquing".

To criticise is to indicate the faults of something in a disaproving way. Anybody can criticize bad officiating. It takes no qualification. Anybody with a knowlege of the game can recognize poor officating, or coaching, or playing and criticise it.

To critique is to evaluate in a detailed and anylitical way. In order to provide a relivant critique of football officating, one should know in detail the theory, points of emphasis, and mechanics of officating football. Those come with experience in the craft.

I think the OP is not familar enough with how officating football works to provide a relivant critique on a few of those plays. I said in another post that I think he is a bright guy, and that he probalby could make a good offical if he tried it out. I like his videos and appricate the work he puts into them. I just think that he stepped outside of his area of expertise a bit and it shows, especially to somebody who understands officiating.
