wiggy Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I’ve just finished my first season helping run U8 grassroots football. All of the problems we had this season were down to parents. Some of the behaviour I witnessed was just unbelievable. My son also plays with a pre-academy and it couldn’t be more different. Parents not allowed to be involved at all and the kids and coaches can crack on with enjoying their football. I’m all for the silent leagues being trialled in various places. Allows it to be about the kids and not the parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 In all my years of watching and managing junior football, I can honestly say that parents are 99% of the problems. Egos, irrational, uneducated in football, bitchy, back stabbing, unethical - the list is endless. let the kids play and grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets loads of kit and he gets paid "expenses" since he turned 8. He was due to play in a tournament in Portugal last May but it got cancelled due to the Coronabollox Bit naughty them scousers.

Although normally, given I'll be a bit reffing in LH, and the vast majority of parents and coaches would back me up, it's generally not an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Mad some of these grass roots games now, U15's was when I noticed the difference in the lads. Qtr final of cup game last season against a stockport team, 1 red card, 6 yellows, 3 sin-bins and 4 parents sent from the field....1 coach booked. It was great !!🤣 Edited August 24, 2020 by Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Salford league cup final last year, Beechfield coach (woman) accused one of ours of being rascist.......all hell broke loose. She told all players to not shake hands. Played them a couple of weeks after...she made all our players line up so she could ask them who whey are, and spent 15 mins going over the registration cards...kicked our balls over fences at the end.... and refused to talk to our team coaches....following game away...SHE requested FA rep to come and watch. She has great arse though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great !!🤣 A mate of mine started a Sunday u18 team comprising lads he knew from various Saturday teams. He picked a load of kids for their brawn as much as their footballing abilities. He invited my son to be his striker. Had some great games but I don’t think they ever finished a game with 22 lads still on the pitch.

Neither tough enough or good enough as a club- the team we had were probably the best in salford at the time, but Charlestown had more influence; certainly intimidating officials. Always moaned about Moorside (bigger set of cunts). We all have a list containing Tranmere, Blackburn, Utd et al, but my grass roots selection would be: Tika Taka Moorside Rangers Fletcher Moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
