Not brilliantly happy with that either but a bit better than aiming it at one person doing an honest job.
I didn't like that either, although I must admit to liking 'lights on if your dad's a nonce', just appealed to my sense of humour as they mostly turned them off quickly.
Yes-did see it earlier. Shocking, not sure if you read the full report from the FA? Don’t really cover themselves in glory and people still wonder why Referees are leaving the game in droves at that level and below.Remember this? Player/Manager punching referee & opposition players.
Punishment decided today...
Ban until end of season & £75 fine.
What an absolute joke.
There was also ‘the linesman’s a paedo’ which I didn’t like at all
These sorts of chants are outrageous and need to be stopped in my view. The problem is some nutter is going to believe them. It's like when paediatricians were being targeted by 'have a go heroes'.Not brilliantly happy with that either but a bit better than aiming it at one person doing an honest job.
Yeah making kids better only so they could interfere with them - bang out of orderThese sorts of chants are outrageous and need to be stopped in my view. The problem is some nutter is going to believe them. It's like when paediatricians were being targeted by 'have a go heroes'.

Must say I’ve felt like doing that myself on many occasions but you have to rise above it.On the other hand...
Been there and it’s so hard I finished the game spoke with an off duty police officer who acted as a witness for me at a later date. It was the sheer powerlessness to protect myself that did it. I sobbed all the way home out of frustration and it was the beginning of the end of my reffing career

No 36 or so years ago as a 17 year old. Under 12 game. Parents and coach of one team surrounded meWas that recently?
Oh I see. Well that proves it that even in a world without social media etc bringing things to the fore that it was still there.No 36 or so years ago as a 17 year old. Under 12 game. Parents and coach of one team surrounded me
I have a mate who is genuinely a really good bloke, a fairly rational football fan and above all a great Dad. His son (around 10ish) has taken up football and is doing quite well but I feel like the Dad has got way too invested in it. Initially it seemed really nice, taking his kid up and down the country, he's had the opportunity to watch him play at some PL academy grounds etc. but a few weeks back he was messaging during a game saying some of the other parents had to have a word with him as he was going ballistic at the ref for giving a pen against his son. I genuinely couldn't believe he would be the type to firstly, do it, and secondly admit it. It was in a WhatsApp group and I called him out for it and basically told him to have a look in the mirror at what he was becoming. People get so invested they lose sight of why they do things. I have no idea if my daughter (or any possibly future children) will want to play football, but if they do, I want there to still be refs around to allow it to happen!
Generally, the worst parents are ones that were decent players themselves but either pissed their chances away or got injured. They try to re live it through their kids. Their kids are usually the ones who lose interest the quickest.I refereed an U8 game once. The result was pretty one sided but one of the dads told his son ‘if you just can’t be arsed anymore I’ll stop taking you’. To a 7 year old kid what kind of thing is that to say?
Agreed. Not just in football but many walks of life.Generally, the worst parents are ones that were decent players themselves but either pissed their chances away or got injured. They try to re live it through their kids. Their kids are usually the ones who lose interest the quickest.
Sorry, I don't see what's abhorrent? Unless I've missed something, which is possible. Personally, and this is just me, I thought she dealt very well with the situation. Isn't confrontation part of the game nowadays, or have I literally been left behind?This is abhorrent too.
im sorry they're not allowed any electronic equipment are you telling me they don't wear digital watchesReferees could be asked to wear bodycams as football cracks down on dissent and assaults
Use of the technology has been expressly forbidden in laws of the game but Ifab will discuss change after a request from the English FAinews.co.uk
