Congratulations on getting three pages of responses to your troll post. You almost had us going, but now we realize nobody is actually that much of a d-bag.

I think we need to do a better job as parents setting better examples for our kids. If the ref asks you to move well then you move.Comment

I would not be at all surprised to see someone measure it; the variety and cluelessness of our spectators is limitless. At every level of the game, it amazes me to see parents that all but sit on top of the line without a clue as to where they should be sitting. I do appreciate it when you go to a field and they actually have lines drawn for the distance as to where seating on the sidelines can be, safely back from the action, yet more than close enough for anyone that wants to sit there to watch. I've seen it all on the sidelines, including being an unfortunate witness to seeing a baby in a stroller who was pushed up to the line by its clueless parent, get hit square in the face by a ball heading out of bounds. could hear the screams for miles. People are clueless and I always feel for the refs.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Flipping though, I have to say my worst ref story was seeing a ref bring her toddler to a game and try to have him sit next to her while she officiated on the sideline. Unimaginable. I get it that care is expensive, but how is that acceptable? It wasn't bring your kid to work day either...Comment

There should always be a line 1.5 yards from the side line to let us know were to sit. Since there usually is not one I bring my tape measureComment

I don't know if it's a troll thread or not, but we've all seen some pretty awful adult behavior. I've certainly seen refs ask parents to push back many times - and of course they comply, then slowly inch their way back up again. Much of the issues with reffing come from parents who don't know rules of the game - they just think they know them and feel teh need to discuss/debate/even yell at refs. Great example to set for kids. Yes there are some bad refs out there. But it's no wonder so many refs drop out if they have to deal with bad behavior so often.Comment

Why? Because I like structure and to follow the rules. You are missing my original point. Its not about me or the tape measure. Its about an out of control linesman and him infringing on my rights. My rights as a free American to sit and enjoy my child playing a freaking soccer game without the gestapo telling me to move.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You know, I thought this was a troll thread when it started, but now I think this dimwit is for real.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
If it is a serious thread, then youth soccer is worse off than I thought. This is a disturbing thread if it is for real.
You right to sit !?! Are you freaking joking !?!
You are not the only one with rights. The other parents at the game should have the right to enjoy the game without some a**hole parent harassing the referees.
The soccer game is NOT you !!
It is about the kids on the field. And the referees are there to manage and control that field.
They are the sole arbitrators of what is right. They were hired and trained by the league to do this.
You are a spectator and a guest. The referee has every right to remove you.
If you want to be present at a soccer game, listen to the referee, and shut up !!Comment
