I guess my real problem is you bring the top juniors along to look at a proper game and the Head Coach is swearing and berating the officials. I don't want my sides behaving like this to the ref/line/opposition but kids pick up on what they see. It's disrespectful and ill-disciplined. I'm actually leaning towards FIFA bringing in a 10m talkback rule, ala NRL.
The ref quite rightly YC Coastal midfielder early on. (like first 10 mins). Then we had no more poor tackles for a whole hour.As a spectator this is good. The penalty (disclaimer: Coastal fan) was clear as day from our vantage point. The opposition coach was poorly placed to view this or comment on it. The delayed reaction YC for the Tech midfielder was excellent reffing, it's those sort of late/impedance tackles/obstruction that stuff attacking football. And the Ref and Eastern side Lino got the late Tech attack offside call correct (not offside) despite the Coastal Fans yelps.
FWIW Tech (C)/(sh)ould of won, and were capable of some quality on the deck/side to side passing. The Ref did not cost them 2 points, the players option taking and execution did. But if the Coach is always at the ref why take responsibility for your own playing?
anyway the Ref was very good. but why will he want to carry on volunteering his time if this is the payback?
