How can thing escalate to a fight level with... eight year olds?

I had a parent on my team yelling to the ref that the kid shouldn't be playing goalie. It ended up with me bringing up another issue with the coach particular to this league's rules. I think the current ref shortage may have been a problem. They can't focus on everything. I doubt the kid refs would try to eject parents or caution them.

I have three kids in travel soccer and have lost count of how many games I have watched. I have never seen this situation ever. Occasional games interrupted by the weather or by out-of-line parents and coaches, yes. Dogs? Never. I have a hard time believing PP has witnessed multiple matches (plural) where dogs have run on the field. Talk about inventing problems.

These have to be 2 different teams you two are referring to because these are two different age groups.

It used to be blue and orange. It looks like they have added a higher acadamy team that's playing up and possibly made their blue team team 2 and orange team team 3?

So blue is no longer the top team?

Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t have to like it when people insist on bringing their dogs to every event or public setting possible. It’s right up their with people who bring their kids to wineries, breweries or nice restaurants.

When you feel the rules or the norm doesn’t apply to you I don’t feel I need to be polite about it and I also think it is good information for the dog owner to know that bringing dogs to a non-dog facility or dog friendly venue is not appreciated by everyone. Dog owners tend to overvalue people’s love of their “very good boy”. It’s so adorable watching your dog eat it’s own crap and then coming to just give me kisses.

- breaking rules bad
- asking people to follow rules bad
- continually calling people and/or their dogs stupid bad
- applying motive to people you don't know bad

i can go on but i think you should get it by now

When a parent yells at Ref when told not to, same thing

We have rules so people can get along.
There are always people who don’t like the rules or don’t follow them. Dog lover no one cares that your dog wants to say hi. I love dogs. I don’t love your dog and when you tel me he is just friendly I don’t know you or your dog. I don’t walk up to strangers and lick them smell their crotch and then have my wife tell you I’m harmless.
Just admit you are someone who intentionally doesn’t follow t rules. You are who you are. It’s not your dogs fault it’s yours

Not sure what (or who) you are talking about, but I'm the poster who pointed out that leashed dogs are allowed at Fairfax County Parks. I don't take my dog onto the field (inside the fence) at Sully (or anywhere else there is a sign clearly prohibiting dogs). On the walking paths or grassy area outside of the fence at Sully, dogs are fine. That is where my dog and I have watched my kids' games when I've taken him there.

I keep my dog leashed and under control at all times. I do not let him interact with anyone without their consent. I prefer when strangers don't interact with him without my consent either (or let their unwatched kids do so). Most dog owners are the same way.

It seems like you just don't like dogs. Either that or you are one of those obsessively negative people who focus on the minority of bad things and ignore the majority of good things. Either way I feel sorry for you.

This weekend my kid had one game at a school field, one at a county field, and the other at a private venue which does have a no dog policy. So the dog only came to one game. Shockingly, he did not smell anyone's crotch or run onto any fields. He did lick a few hands, but only of people who presented their hands to be licked. He's a cute dog. He thinks everyone in the world exists to be love and be loved, and that's the way he looks at everyone he sees. People smile when they see him. The world needs more smiles.

No need to feel sorry for me or my dog. Your dog may be great. Only now do you clarify and agree that your dog should not be inside fence at Sully. That is the point. Where your dog is allowed do whatever you want. Where your dog is not allowed follow the rule. Rules often have to be made for the worst. If everyone was a good dog or respectful we’d need fewer rules. The rule may bot be necessary for your dog but your dog has to follow it (through your decisions unless your dog can read) because of all the others who have ruined it and caused a rule to be needed.
So consider not trying to make it about me or my dog. It’s not about you or your dog. It’s a rule and you either respect it or you don’t.
And if you are at a game for your kid you are there as a guest and a parent typically and your team agrees to follow the hosting on clubs rules which include no dogs often. People like you just decide to do what you want until challenged then you react like it is the rest of the rule followers that are the problem.

Be a better example for your child and your dog.

WTF are you talking about?

You do realize there is more than one poster on this subject, right?

I am the rule following one.

In fact, I'm so obsessed with following the rules that I actually know what they are. I look them up ahead of time. I look for signs when I arrive, and I actually take the time to stop and read them, just to make sure I'm in compliance.

The OP was about the Dulles Tournament, and complaining how shameful it was that there were "dogs everywhere."

Here are the parks in which the fields for those tournaments were located: https://events.gotsport.com/events/fields.aspx?EventID=84562&FieldID=

Not a single one of them prohibits dogs. Unless the dogs were either (1) unleashed, (2) on the actual fields, or (3) pooping without the owners picking it up, the mere fact that they were "everywhere" doesn't break any rules.


Characterizing behavior as "shameful" even though it is perfectly in compliance with the rules, just because some (not saying you, b/c I don't know which posts were yours vs someone else's - see how that works) don't personally agree with the rules, or don't even bother to find out what the rules actually are - isn't exactly respectful of the rules, now is it?

1. You seem overly impassioned about this.
2. There were dogs within the fence at Sully, some behind goals barking during play - nice for a goalkeeper
3. Any dog owner had to walk past the plates No Dog sign to go inside the fence, I don’t blame the dog unless they can read, but to walk your dog in like that
is an attitude of no shame and no respect, it is shameful
4. You have parsed the OP to say law abiding dog owners are not shameful, the OP noted a series of behaviors and dogs inside the fence was just one
Your attempt to hijack it into a thread about you and your dog shouldn’t be shameful is just obtuse or intentionally deflecting

I guess I can take my cat to a dog park. Or play soccer on it with my friends as the rules don’t prohibit that at FFX Co

You are lucky to be in a county that has dog parks there is even a turf one.

Just stop being obtuse.

If two dogs meet at a field or narrow path and have an altercation, there could be injuries to animals or people. If a pet attacks a person, there is nowhere to go. Several people and pets have been bitten and injured in these circumstances. Well-behaved pets can instigate an incident with a more aggressive animal, and animal behavior experts cannot predict how any two animals will react to each other.

That’s a reason for the rule. Just put it to rest and don’t keep being the guy who says my BMW is very safe and designed to handle speed so I can go fast safely - it’s all about interaction.

Go take your dog for a walk and chill
