⚖️ Referee decisions that still get brought up at family gatherings

There's one referee decision from a match nearly 10 years ago that still comes up at every family gathering. My uncle brings it up first. My father disagrees within 5 seconds. Then they argue for about 10 minutes, with hand gestures, while the rest of us eat. Somebody always changes the subject by asking if anyone wants more rice. My uncle says the referee was blind. My father says the referee had a bad angle. Neither one remembers the match properly. They each tell it a little differently every year. In their versions the player moves about 2 metres more or less depending on who's talking. I've heard it so many times that I could referee the argument myself, whistle included. Last year I found the clip online and showed them both on my phone. It was grainy, but you could see the whole thing. I thought that would finish it. My uncle said "see, I told you." My father said "see, I told you." Same clip. Both walked away happier than before. I just sat there holding my phone. This year my father brought a printout of the match report to dinner. I'm not joking. My uncle brought his own printed version of it. We ate in silence for a full minute. My mother finally said both of them were wrong and took the plates away. Now my cousins want to bet on who'll start it at the next gathering, and the loser pays for dinner.

My father still insists one particular offside call cost his college team a state title decades ago now, and produces the exact same three tired arguments every single time regardless of who is listening or whether they have already heard the whole long story several times over before at previous family gatherings just like this one being held tonight.

A refereeing call from a school final still comes up every single time our old team gets together for a reunion, nearly fifteen full years later now and someone always brings it up within the first twenty minutes without fail at every single gathering we hold, usually the same uncle who was not even playing that particular day at all.
