[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is with the fouls that are not called. Girl hits girl with ball from behind center of back on the spine. Girls goes down refer ignores it. Ref not call fouls because the girl committing foul is small. She is ranking the other girl’s calf with her studs. Players like these need to be carded and kicked out of the game. They are a safety issue.

I could care less about offside, throw in or handball rule. Just be consistent with your calls. [/quote]

I have three players, all boys, and I completely disagree. 90 percent of the plays that parents lose their minds about are completely legal. As parents learn more about what is allowed, the game becomes more physical, leading to more opportunities to go crazy. Soccer is a contact sport. Competitive players are going to be physical. I totally agree that someone raking a calf with her studs should be carded and thrown out but, really, how often does this happen?? How often does it happen that a ref is in position to call it and does not?? I have watched so many games over seven years of three kids in travel and I just don't agree that the lack of foul calls is a big problem. [/quote]
