There are loads of games in the Championship where the linesmen take an age before flagging for offside when there is no VAR involved!
Not really-that’s just because of VAR being used.
More power to their elbow.And it continues………….
The behaviour and conduct of far too many players, managers, coaches, and spectators is the worst we have ever seen in the history of the Northumberland Football League.
The discipline reports coming in over the first 10 weeks of the season, just to Northumberland Football Leagues, have given us and the County FA an incredible amount of work, on top of everything else we do to keep you playing football.
I am not going to lecture adults on how they should behave, it's not my job to teach you the difference between right and wrong, but what I will say is THIS BEHAVIOUR STOPS, AND IT STOPS NOW!
Starting from Saturday 18th November, any team found guilty of any discipline, welfare or misconduct charge WILL BE REMOVED FROM FIXTURES. If those fixtures include cup/competition games, then you will forfeit your place in those competitions.
Teams playing at central venues where parents are found to be acting in an unsuitable manner, verbally or physically abusing/ shouting at a referee, steward, league official, venue staff or opposition coaches/managers, the club in question will have EVERY PARENT/GUARDIAN/SPECTATOR from every team banned from every central venue.
This is children’s football - there is no place for abuse of any type - if you cannot watch a group of children playing football without feeling the need to abuse/shout at a child be they a player or a referee, or you cannot spend an hour and a half without swearing at the opposition coach or confronting a group of parents - then please ask yourself if you have chosen the correct way to spend your weekends.
We are a Respect League and Respect towards players, the officials and each other is the minimum standard which we will accept - NO RESPECT = NO GAME."
For and on behalf of the league management committee,

He probably didn’t turn up in the right kit and wasn’t sure of a particular law and made a mistake so deserved it ffsEx Premier League player along with parents forcing the 15 year old referee to abandon the U12’s MJPL game at half time today

And not for the first time! Shame really as the club he “represents” as a coach is a place I have been and refereed many times. FA are now involved aswell-hopefully if proven they will dispense with this bully.Karl Henry. Allegedly.
Agreed. He showed his true colours on social media in recent weeks too, club should have binned him then really. His abhorrent attitude is well known prior to that too.And not for the first time!

Just can’t get my head around an adult in a game of year 7’s in a development league where you play teams around you not every team home and away.Agreed.

I don't believe the FA has the power (or the inclination probably) but, as it's a child referee, it's a Safeguarding issue & he should be stripped of his accreditations & coaching badges.
He coaches Strachan foundation u18 and was brilliant with my 16 year old lad reffingOutrageous behaviour & Henry should be ashamed! Saw plenty of aggression from the touch line in the years my kids were playing, even in the girls football my daughter played in. I remember whenever my son's team played a team in Tile Hill (can't remember the teams name), the assigned ref would never show up because of the parents' reputation, so one of their parents would ref with a bias you would expect. I remember the parents all along the touchline lined up with aggressive dogs barely on the leash, all designed to intimidate. The only time I saw an ex pro on the sideline, was Lee Carsley when his son was playing for Balsall Common, and he was completely respectable throughout.
telling when the manager of the team who aren't the one you sent someone off from says you lost control of a gameAnthony Taylor got himself in the headlines again.
He’s under pressure isn’t he?telling when the manager of the team who aren't the one you sent someone off from says you lost control of a game
I guess a ref can suffer from a lack of confidence, just like the players. That doesn’t necessarily make him a bad ref.Anthony Taylor got himself in the headlines again.
and? You can say a ref has had a bad game. That is not abuse or wrong.He’s under pressure isn’t he?
Some lovely passive aggression from forest manager too. Our number 1 ref blah blah blah
Course he is yep absolutely is but it’s the passive aggression that’s really unhelpful to refs at grassroots level that’s alland? You can say a ref has had a bad game. That is not abuse or wrong.
I get your lad is a ref so you will defend them even when they make horrible mistakes but Pete Steve Cooper is allowed to say he thought the ref didn't have a good game.
Anyone know what prize Plum of a referee have got tonight?
What’s the plan?
It's ok using word play saying "the managers don't know the right words" but just watch football every week how see how inconsistent and bizarre some games are.What’s the plan?
Are we saying refs are corrupt or crap?
It’s interesting that ex players and current managers don’t know the correct terminology for careless reckless or excessive force fouls
Or the measure of dogso or spa or violent conduct or dissent and Ofinibus.
Need all those in the game to learn the laws so we are speaking the same language
mostly in L1, so that's another fecker who won't be up with play!!Andy Davies
8 games 35 yellows 1 red !

It’s not just word play it’s the thought process of what sanction and whether to blow for a foulIt's ok using word play saying "the managers don't know the right words" but just watch football every week how see how inconsistent and bizarre some games are.
Ex players or managers saying it’s football knowledge or obvious are refusing to engageIt’s not just word play it’s the thought process of what sanction and whether to blow for a foul
It’s not a matter of that’s a foul that’s a penalty that’s a yc or rc . It’s not a knee jerk it’s a rational and logical decision that can be explained
That’s why words and laws matter

Now that’s a perceptive question and I’m not surprised as you are both intelligent and love footballSo if it is a rational and logical decision based on words and laws then why is it so inconsistent?
That is a bit unfair (on whoever is refereeing) and I’m very surprised that a coach/observer should come out with that comment.Now that’s a perceptive question and I’m not surprised as you are both intelligent and love football
So if we are discussing a direct free kick the pundits and managers will say things like it’s an obvious or not an obvious free kick and use terms like he got the ball or anyone who knows football can see that’s a foul and if he gives a foul it has to be a rc or yc. Black white intuitive even. A reflex decision rather than the decision having considered the variables
Just for a dfk and sanction the question isn’t just he pushed him free kick or he pulled him or he tripped him it’s where is it on the pitch? It’s where is it during the game? It’s what sort of game it’s been and what proper game management constitutes as to the decision expected. There’s also a little of where the ref is have they seen it? Are they too close or too far away
So decision taken and ref should be able to say you pulled him or you tripped him or whatever it was and also both were battling so no foul or as at the start of the season football agreed to allow more physicality then push wasn’t forceful enough see the Gabriel incident
Then you come onto sanction. Again where was it for a denial of goal scoring or stopping a promising attack and then a measure of careless just a free kick reckless yc or excessive force or endangering an opponent rc
When observed refs have to answer why a decision and sanction was taken and should be able to.
I’ve watched as my lad has said to a coach for a last min pen. You were on the side of the pitch I was 5m away it didn’t hit the players hand I didn’t give a pen
Coach response - you bottled it lol
You can’t argue with it’s a yc you can argue with it was a yc as the tackle was reckless in my opinion
The participants are talking a different language
Ah sorry not observer / coachThat is a bit unfair (on whoever is refereeing) and I’m very surprised that a coach/observer should come out with that comment.
