Last Saturday's U13s game was going well until midway through 2nd half the Reds coach took offence at me not seeing an elbow on the back of his attacker. Play carried on and inevitably Yellows scored. Reds keeper smacked his head off the post so on comes the coach to treat him however he seems just as concerned with telling me I'm awful as he is concerned with his player's well-being.
After the keeper is okay to go he stays on the pitch for several more seconds dropping f-bombs all over the place. I reminded him I'm here to let these lads play the game just as you are. His tirades don't stop. After the game he walks towards me with an apparently apologetic expression so I thought he was going to be big and shake hands but no, he points at me and several more f-offs.
After the game the other coaches apologised for his behaviour and it was clear in hindsight Reds would have been ably coached without him. I sort of regret not exercising this right to remove him and put it down to the fact I haven't yet removed a coach from the vicinity of the FoP before and it just never sprung to mind. What are your opinions? If this wasn't enough, what would constitute removal?
