Absolutely disgusting if true. |  |

It’s true. The kid in question is the son of former neighbour of ours from Ravenhill. I don’t know them that well but he’s a nice, quiet kid. It’s dreadful behaviour from grown adults but sadly not uncommon in local football. |  |

Further evidence to back up claims made here. It really is disgusting and those people having a pop at a young man undoubtedly doing his best to facilitate a game of football really need to take a long hard look at themselves.

I can confirm an incident but can't really say much more because of the age of the referee and my position.
Let's just say I am absolutely livid. |  | | |

Throw the book at the parents Dave. Utterly disgraceful. I wonder if any of them post on here? | |

Do they take this kind of thing seriously? What are the punishments that they could dish out? | |

I believe the police have been contacted as well. And quite right too. | |

Yes, I'm told the punishments are quite severe. Thankfully, this doesn't happen often. This is the first I can recall of an incident this bad.
I really can't say any more.
The offending group obviously have to be found guilty and I wasnt there to witness it. | | | |

The behaviour in Junior football has been absolutely disgraceful for many years. Many senior referees wont ref junior matches because of the behaviour of parents and children. An experienced ref was attacked a number of years ago and the parent went down |  | | |

I'm not having that I'm sorry. Incidents at junior football are infrequent and when something happens it is dealt with appropriately by the WWFA.
There are nearly 30 referees in local junior football and I know other leagues are envious of this. Some weeks there are more referees than games available.
The referee you mention still referees in the junior and senior league every week. | | | |

I was at Ashleigh Road refereeing a game yesterday and had no issues at all, in fact a lot of the parents thanked me for doing the game and turning up. I have been lucky that I've never really had any incidents at Junior Level with parents/managers, but unfortunately it does happen now and again.
The Swansea Junior League is well run and luckily the West Wales do punish behaviour from managers/parents when reported. I think it's a sad way of life that people react in certain ways in football, especially kid's football, where it should be about the enjoyment of playing football. Thankfully incidents like the above are few and far between and I do not know what happened yesterday or who was involved. Hopefully the right punishment is reached and the referee in question, doesn't stop because of this, even though I would totally understand if he/she does. |  |

👠in truth threatening a kid doing his best to give everyone a decent morning out is pretty poor.

Terrible for 16yr old to go through that.
But isn't the problem at the top level? The abuse shouted at the ref yesterday was out of order at times.
Don't we have to look at ourselves as fans? |  | | |

Ive been a ref now for thirty odd years and have to say the behaviour these days is shocking
I told a young lad off last season and said "Now dont be a plank and and behave" his Dad came on to the Pitch and threw a punch at me but missed I then abandoned the game as I knew my mind wouldnt be on the game. I never swear on the pitch because you open yourself up then to all sorts
They see the behaviour of so called stars and I blame the top refs for it they should set an example |  | | |

Also when I was a kid playing if you spoke out of turn to the Ref our manager would take you off even if he had to play with ten men perhaps coaches these days could take that on
But I wont hold my breath | | | |

I bet we would.
Men of all ages yesterday raging at the poor decisions the ref made. Using language that would cause problems in the workplace or on the street.
But we accept it don't we? | | | |

With respect, perhaps you should treat players with more respect than speaking like that to them. I agree that his father shouldn't have enter the field of play of feel he has the right to have a pop. However I've always found that if you speak to people and treat them respectfully then you are more than likely to be treated the same in return. Of course there are rare exceptions to this. | |

Nothing to do with being precious. Basic manners I would have thought. | |
