Description

"No call" is a sports-specific term used when an official or referee fails to blow the whistle on a clear foul or violation. It is frequently used by fans and commentators to express outrage over perceived injustice or incompetence by the officiating crew. The term suggests that the referee saw the incident but chose to ignore it, potentially changing the outcome of the game. It is a staple of post-game venting on social media when a team loses due to a controversial non-decision.

Example

> The striker was clearly tripped in the box, but the ref gave a no call and let play continue.

> I'm still fuming about that no call on the blatant handball in the final minute.

) The lead ref needs to explain that no call because it cost us the entire season.
