[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=SoccerRef][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]This happened two times with my kids’ teams. Once moms talking and joking about girl players’ bodies, and once dads talking about “the aggressive culture” of a non white player. These comments were made within earshot of players, and I reported them to the league both times. No regrets. [/quote]

Did the league do anything? After a tournament game I reffed in the fall, I informed one club's league that the coach had told me she didn't care if her players hurt the other team. (U-10, folks.) Never heard a word in response.[/quote]

Rather than complaining to the league, you should have used cards and sent off a couple of players, if they targeted the opposing team players.  I frequently see dangerous play unpunished by refs and the only time I see refs show red is for dissent.  I know they are young kids, but you can warn them and if they keep doing it, you should teach them a lesson.  [/quote]

I should've carded one player. The parents would've killed me, so you'd be reading this from my ghost, but I agree.

The coach didn't say one word until after the game, when she berated me for all the fouls I'd called. Clever, I suppose. Wait until after the game so you don't get tossed.[/quote]

You can toss a player or a coach after the game as well. Won’t change the game that just ended, but hopefully it’ll mean a suspension in future games.

Edit. Whoops, saw someone already responded similarly. Oh well. [/quote]

Yeah, that might have been good as well. She actually wasn't being that abusive. It was just what she was saying that I couldn't believe. She complained about the penalties called against her team. I told her they were legit fouls and that the other team was getting hurt. She said that her team plays tough, and if the other team can't take it, that's their problem.

Did I mention this was U-10?[/quote]

Yes but you didn’t tell us which club... inquiring minds want to know![/quote]
