[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many refs seem to be overweight elderly men. Why is this?[/quote]

Parents chase the good young referees away. Clubs need to support  Referees who kick out abusive parents.[/quote]

Its a tradition as old as time. just as visiting teams get heckled and booed at away games. Referees get it every game. There is no home court advantage ever for referees. Just as players should learn to take and leave on the field so should referees. Never should a player / coach or a parent / fan ever take it to physical everl or verbal beyond the field of play barrage. But the boos are the ying to the cheers yang. Just as we yell great job Johnny or good call ref. We should accept the Number 12 sucks get him off the field and you blow ref. I mean we have gotten to be a treat them with kid gloves society. As long as it doesn't become physical and no threats are made let game go on. Players play, referees ref, and fans be fanatical.[/quote]

This is a pile of hog manure.  The pool of potential refs really starts at 13/14 years old.  If you expect your 13 yr old to take verbal assaults from adults and enjoy it, you have a twisted sense of the world. We raise our children to listen to and respect adults; the cognitive dissonance of having some oafish Dad who doesn't even know the Laws of the Game incorrectly shouting instruction is simply beyond.

You, sir, are the very reason that we only have older men reffing.  Older men can "take it" and move past.  I don't want a 13 year old to have to endure the howlings of a sideline buffoon. [/quote]

Personally I wouldn't heckle a teenage refereee under any circumstances.  However I have no problem with heckling fat old men.[/quote]

That’s not nice [/quote]

Yes it is.[/quote]
