I've been ringing 606 a lot about the amazing knowledge of the bbc pundits. They are diabolical. Pat Nevin and Lee Dixon are the worst. I wouldn't mind if they prefaced with "I think that the referee..." rather than just stating something that is taken as a fact and has no basis in law or...

Bonjour et joyeux Noel! L'Essex c'est la region de la culture Anglaise!

I got more well dones from the losing side's supporters than the winning team! I have had one parent worthy of a misconduct report but I think thanks to my age and height (31 and 6'2") and having been a teacher for 8 years dealing with small children and parents I've been pretty fortunate so far.

Yes it was my local youth league u7s cup final but there were about 200 people watching and every goal was roared home! Finished 4-3 but would have been a penalty shoot out if not for a mistake by a player in the last 5 seconds! Got lots of thank yous from parents and then presented the trophy...

31 as well!

Whilst we need to remember the original reason for the thread, it's a reason for a league to exist, some of the players can't take part in Sunday leagues owing to the fact that they are at church when the games would usually be going on. Like I said before, some teams are genuinely church based...

From my experience they bare little difference to a regular OA league. Football makes people behave in a very un-church like manner.

Sorry @RegalRef I was talking about coaches on the touchline. If a player asks then I'll usually tell them unless it's a bit of a frantic moment.

What bugs me is, they have a phone in their bag/pocket which they can keep track of time with rather than constantly asking me, requiring me to take my eyes off the game. In the same way that they don't always agree with the ref decisions they can disagree with time but why nothave ttheir own...

My best was when a u10s coach asked me tell him when 15 mins had gone, I thought this was a bit ridiculous so I replied "6 minutes from now so start your watch" as I ran past. The other coach was rolling on the floor!

Did the "what's his name then skipper" and that got his whole team shouting "get over to the ref [name] for f's sake".

31 soon to be ex teacher and father of 1 spirited 3 year old and husband of a football tolerate lady!

Hehe, could be worse, might be a mhrml league cup and you have to come to harlow!

Kids games still on apparently, but pitch just across the road is off! bizarre.

Had one on a 3g in Harlow, nearly died of cold.

Hehe, I'm on a 3G today so game on! Going to get flipping soaked!

My fox40 makes my right ear go funny on each blow. Hoping for a tornado to cure the problem!

He's bigger and slower moving than a ball though.

How daft. Pink on greeny/browny is a terrible mix. White on green is one of the most visible contrasts. They're better off with a black football!

Anyone else find the pink balls used on televised fa cup round 1 games really hard to see?
