Just want people's opinions on this today. Bit of context - U13's game, top of the league (have won every game) vs a not bad top half team. Game finished 1-1.
The better team had a coach who wasn't afraid to share his opinions, but nothing crazy. After a penalty shout for the other team, they went up the other end with a bit of shoulder to shoulder. This just happened to be the weakest player on the pitch, so I didn't give a foul, but came back to it later because he was still down. He started crying, and that's when it kicked off. Their coach said I was having a "f***ing shocker", while their linesman was also adding to it, telling me what I should do. Even if I've made the wrong decision, I still feel like there's no need for the coach to come storming onto the pitch. At the end of the day, it's grassroots, and I'm just a teen reffing.
