the questioning of referees by spectators and coaches from the touch line is getting worse .. despite all the PR work with posters and leaflets etc .. about codes of conduct, coaches and spectators still stand there and scream ....openly questioning decisions loudly
then the players listen to their so-called role models... and you have a running battle trying to keep all calm ....
classic ... after some show of dissent already
yellow left winger dives on the ball ...
red right winger falls on top ...
before i can get my whistle to my mouth or shout "seen it ..." that touchline is screaming .. and yellow players start screaming ... "rediculous" "awful" "joke" etc etc
so, i shout (above the clamour) .. 'penatly to yellow .. but i will reverse the next one if i hear any more dissent' ... (more 'rediculous' 'joke' shouts)
seems to be some clubs only but .... is definitely getting worse.
have written an email to the chairman of youth of that club .. asking for the group to be reminded of the code of ocnduct... only to be hit by a serious complaint email from the coach about my bias and loss of control !
serious issues with expectations .... i think that they havent been refereed by a good strong referee before .... e.g. breakdown interpretations ... but they should still listen to the ref and comply .. and certainly not threaten to walk off the pitch etc !
