Red for what? What was atrocious ?

I was on the far side of the field and saw everything - but did not hear everything; still:

- that coach was yelling constantly at his players; and to a degree that’s fine I guess. But then he got increasingly agitated at the girls once his team was down a goal. Yelling got more hostile and intense;

- the ref apparently finally asked the coach to tone down the hostility toward the players. Coach didn’t like that. So he started arguing with the ref.

- continued arguing resulted in the yellow card. He REALLY did not like that! Arguing got even more heated and angry toward the volunteer ref.

- Red card. Coach didn’t take it well. But, he left the immediate area of the sideline (probably knowing a team-DQ would be the next step) and stood fuming just beyond the chain link fence, watching the ref of the game.

His wife, in turn, let into the ref and allegedly yelled at him that he was “the worst ref ever” and “should be permanently banned from the game.”

It was an ugly scene in front of two teams of impressionable U11 players.

Our coach directed my son (who’s 9) to just go ahead and kick the ball directly to the opposing team to let them take possession. I appreciated our coach for deescalating the situation.
The opposing coach kept yelling at the ref for the rest of the first half, but the ref would react. So the opposing coach Started laying into his kids, berating them for every thing. Ref finally went over and calmly talked to him. I couldn’t hear it but assume it was to tell him to calm it down. Whatever The ref said do not make a difference. The coach kept on the berating his team. It was really sad to see

The offending team parents spoke all Spanish and sat there as if all was okay. We stayed until halftime not sure who won the game.

My kid's 2005 team played a league game with a few absolute beasts in regular league play. When our coaching staff looked up player cards after the game, they were 2004s. Cheaters.

This stuff happens all of the time and it is usually much worse in tournaments.

lol, did the other team actually provide 04 player cards? Ref should have not allowed that to pass and it's their responsibility to ensure. For a tournament, the roster wouldn't even be accepted. How would coaches review player cards if they weren't submitted before game (which would have been caught right away). The other team is pretty dumb to turn in 04 for 05 game.

Red for what? What was atrocious ?

U 11 girls or boys? Did the coach have a really deep voice? GFRSC is the WORST, and Baron Cameron are some of the most pathetic set of fields in all of Nova.

But if we loose, I'll kill everyone of you on fortnite later today." We got a good chuckle out of it, good to know it can still be fun.

Right at the end of the first half a parent directed one of their kids to kick (as in turn around and kick) one of our defenders. No card was issued then, but my understanding was that three yellows were given to them at half time. (I heard this from their parents.) Two minutes into the 2nd half, there was a hard foul on one of our kids resulting initially as a yellow card and about a 3 minute delay as he was attended ...... his father came out to tend to him (presumably with referee permission, as he was NEVER escorted off the field). One of their parents was kicked out of the game due to persistent complaining to the referees. Finally, after one of their parents threatened the referee that "I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot." the game and the police were called. I won't claim that our parents were angels, as the discussion was heated as to if the father was allowed to tend to his child (on the parent side of the field), but I didn't hear any inappropriate talk.

I am pretty sure it was their inexperience with an offside trap that led to all this disruption. For that and the fact that none of our kids escalated the confrontations made be proud of our boys.

Garbage US soccer at its finest.

Offside trap? Great tactic.
