Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDoes often get over looked. Most of the club games I have watched over the past several years had absolutely no passion in them and they felt more like a wake than a competition. That doesn't stop our resident parent hater from starting threads like this though. Probably spends a lot time reffing ulittle town games where the parents really are nuts because they don't know anything about soccer.

I just sit there and think "this other team must think we are all a-holes".

Maybe we should all just save some money and not have refs. Just let the sideline parents make all the calls.

This one is a few years old now, but still my favorite: Chippy boys u12 or so game going on, my kid--who at that time wouldn't know a tactical or "message" foul if you drew him a picture--wipes out an opposing player. Referee calls the foul--should have given him a card--other player limps away. Sideline blowhard from our team yells "Don't worry about it Timmy, that kid deserved it!!" Nice.

U16 Boys game at the field near my son's game this weekend in Waltham (I think it was FSA vs Bolts). Father was screaming at the AR that he was blind, and missed the obvious call (both father and AR appeared to be in their 50s). The AR asked him politely to keep quiet, and the father kept screaming (and insulting the AR). The AR told the ref to stop the game, and went to get a field marshall to have the father removed from the field. The game was stopped for a while, and I stopped paying attention after that, so not sure of the final outcome. By the time we left the field (10-15 minutes after my son's game ended), the other game was still going on (started at the same time). I didn't see the obnoxious father on the sideline, but not sure if he was removed, or just moved to a different spot on sidelines.

They can't even get the whistle to their mouths before 10 people on the sidelines have screamed "REF!" or "Handball!"" or "Offsides!"

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHave any observations to report? I am tiring of the club and coach bashing. Let's put parent sideline antics up for discussion. That could be entertaining
I'm not saying ALL parents don't know the laws of the game, some play(ed),some coach, and some even ref, but they're likely the least vocal of all.
Funny how it works that the most obnoxiously boisterous any given weekend are the least informed.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBecause the d!ckhead who starts all of these threads dumping on the parents is a ref. He's a true asshat who has trashed this forum with his anti parent agenda (among other ones - see all of the political threads) for years. He used to sign in as CUJO but often assumes other identities here as well.
