This is not the way as a ref to handle parents. Best to ignore. If they get involved further and physically then call the games. It makes no sense to react to comments of how bad you are officiating, plus a quarter of the times the criticism is right. If it were not all these refs at grassroots would be at the world cup.

Mouthy parents, mostly with no idea of the rules of the game, are the bane of house league soccer. Kudos to the referee for letting the coaches know ,early on, that he will brook no nonsense !

Role model training, imagine the parent at home

I started umpiring a few years ago This seems pretty light considering what is usually said Have to rise above it Having said that, I’ve closed two games because of issues with parents. Bizarre reactions to close calls.

Never ever get involved in helping out children's sports. You will never be thanked, a lot of mentally disturbed low-lifes we call parents will trash you, and you'll even be accused of all sorts of untrue things. You will regret it. That is guaranteed.

The funny thing is...there's not a player on the field that's any good....They all stink at soccer.

I was a ref...was. Stopped for this reason. The strange thing is children are ok with your calls.

Well done Ref. Never take crap.

Love how confused they look, yet everywhere they gelanceerd they are being told that this is their responsibility....because it is

And nobody says a word about kids playing with glasses? Insane!

I got the 500th like

And if this had been on a public pitch ?

🎉❤😢😂❤😮🎉😅😊🎉😮

one of the reasons that we put the team and the parents together, with teams on opposite sides of the field. it's obvious who the culprits are and easy to chastise/warning and then ask to leave if warranted.

I’ve been involved in football (oh for you guys “soccer”) for over 30 years as Administrator, player, coach & referee. Here in Australia we have rules for Home clubs that they must supply a “Ground Officials (or Marshall)” at all games. They are responsible for crowd control / safety. If a referee feels like themselves or any player or officials safety is at risk they can stop the game & call on the ground officials to deal with the parents or supporters who are causing trouble & can move them from the ground.

Respect to the ref.😊

What a sad sad ref. He seem to have a bit of the hitler complex about him

Fuck this referee. He shouldn't ref if he can't take it. Fantasy got bullied in school and he deserved it the way he cried 9-10 mins in

Referees and officials have too much authority and too little oversight. Let the coaches and kids call the games. Screw the ego driven refs.

What I recommend for any soccer parent out there is to talk to their kids, 1 on 1, asking for an honest description of how they perceive the parents during a match. I went through this with my son and it was VERY humbling. If you think those kids even think one bit that your "cheering" is helpful in ANY regard you're far off. Most kids would actually prefer no parents at all or at least just as quiet spectators (think Tennis, when the quiet signal goes on). Most parents are totally projecting some kind of "this needs some football stadium atmosphere" bullshit into a kids game that couldn't be further from it.

And people wonder why refs are giving up in large numbers. Some years ago, a player made a threat to cut my throat and then followed me home after the match. All because I sent him off after grabbing an opposition player around the neck and threatening to kill him. I had to keep driving for nearly an hour until he gave up. Not even the cops would help me. I still ref, but it's always in the back of my mind.

I would have done the same thing. These players are young girls. The last thing they need is to hear parents swearing & making derogatory remarks about the Ref or other players. Refs volunteer their time for very little $$$ or nothing at all so your children can play sports. They shouldn’t have to take verbal abuse & the coach should take complete responsibility for parents of players who’s parents need a lesson in sportsmanship & acceptable behavior not to mention appreciation for the people who work so your child can play a sport.

Idiot coaches. Instead of mocking the ref the should have gone over and explained what was going on. Even if you don't think he's correct, he has the power to shut the game down. Go tell the parents to shut up

Okay and

Oh, look. Another thin skinned ref who loves to be the center of attention.

Games would be a lot better if the parents would just drop the kids off and then go home!

Rabbit ears.

Good coaches - don’t need to yell at the ref. Bad coaches try to mask their inadequacies by directing their poor team prep at the ref. Red coach - is an example of that.

The worst part is when parents have no clue how the rules of soccer go.

No wonder there is a referee shortage in all youth sports, its not worth the risk and the abuse from the parents, There are cases of parents actually physically assaulting refs. I wouldn't be a ref in a youth league for any amount of money.

Ima current referee and I am surprised as he yelled at coach in the beginning and talk the way he talked to both coaches

Cheering what they just did- that’s a parent Telling them what to do- even dribble, pass,- that’s what coach does and makes you an ass

"Way to go ref and call it both ways" both classic remarks made by sideline officials

Not going to lie… I was watching expecting a shocking tackle that produced a force of 15G

Watch a rugby union game, it's very polite

Call it both ways ten mins in give the guy time to make a call

This dude wouldn’t last a second in an English game shitttttt

It starts with the red Coach ragging on the ref. Probably reds parents yelling at ref too, that’s why he didn’t want to get up to approach ref or tell his teams parents to knock it off. Attitude reflects leadership coach.

Good thing. He seems to be the only one caring about putting a good example for these children. Many parents should be a shamed of themselves nowadays for how they raise their children. What kind of morals they teach them.

Thank fuck the refs in England aren't scared to have their feeling hurt like this lot

The UNITED coach is part of the problem. Instead of walking over and addressing the parents, he half-asses his way about 5 steps. That tells everyone he does not support the ref. And considering this is AMATEUR soccer, without the ref, the game is over. And the parents, just STFU already.

It was a good call, ref noticed an issue and called it. Then when people argued he found a way to try resolve the issue

ive never seen refs like US refs lol

Oh please grow a pair fattie. Call the game right and it wont happen. Essentially every outburst i ever have witnessed has been absolutely warranted.

Bugger me! what a snowflake! You should come to the UK mate and hear some proper abuse.. .. .

this ref is spot on

Is this on school property or on a public pitch ?

Its easy to criticize

Well done ref. 👍

Ref needs to block them out 👍
