Fuck that Never happened playing 16-a-side on Hilton Estate. It's all too organised & made to feel important now. If my dad had ever turned up to watch me at school or Bolton schoolboys I'd have been mortified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 27 Site Supporter Share Posted February 27 Parents always came to our school games. Part of it. Always the odd one or two who went over board with their comments, but generally fine. Sadly footy away from this is increasingly full of idiots on the pitch, and has disrespectful twats vandalising the grounds themselves. New house farm- my local pitches are very wet much of the time in winter, but no large amounts of cash would be spent on them as they're frequently riden over, have dog turds on them, or burned out wheelie bins melted into them.

The pitch on the corner of Deepdale Road which used to be part of Withins school is always falling foul of kids in quad bikes and occasionally adults. And regarding New House Farm, some of the worst damage was caused by folk on horseback who just saw them as open parkland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Some of the kids are fucking feral and the problem you have is the leagues get young refs in (not like that’s an issue) but they ain’t much older and they get bitched big time absolutely no respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted. Problem is, the players are so feral they’d hound the young ref off the pitch as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No meither from either sets of parents but the u11s lads from both teams are clearly in the 'biggest kids in the school' stage of life so were giving each other loads of shit after challenges and stuff. It's hilarious to watch as a parent. I ain't getting worked up over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think my lad ever played a game which finished with 22 players on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early developers smashing everyone else out of the park For me as a baby faced assassin getting in to the match as a junior for so long I suppose this is my karma! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t play football for school, I swam and played water polo. Neither were much of spectator sports although water polo was legalised thuggery.

Site Supporter fatolive Posted February 28 Site Supporter Share Posted February 28 We were playing a team called Whelley Alexandra once , u11 I think , their coach was reffing, little gobby twat on theirs moaning at everything , got a warning about complaining, and that he’d be off if he continued, ref gave a goal kick to us when it should’ve been a corner according to gobby, he shouted “ oh ref that’s a nobheads decision you prick “ ref shouted over to his fellow coach “ Nick can you take Alfie off for a bit, until he’s calmed down, not having him speaking like that “ fair enough I thought , but couldn’t help laughing when young Alfie, on hearing this, responded with “ Aww Dad, don’t !!! ref was his fucking own Dad he was abusing .
