I have to give you no justification at all I did what I thought was RIGHT !! I don’t need to answer the way you patronise on this group I can’t have been that wrong as the away team manager said I handled it all very well and he was going to give me full marks
And also got him he’s whole team to shake my hand so now go figure
If the coach has been swearing at you and you took no action and/or allowed him to remain at the touchline then believe me, you can put what the away team thought into the bin and refer you to page 64 of the LOTG re the behaviour re team officials, and if in your opinion having a coach of a U13 team swearing at you is that person acting responsibly, then, your view of responsible behaviour deviates greatly from mine, not only should he not be acting like that towards you, being responsible for children he should not be acting like that full stop.
In a lot of the cases, as has been discussed on here till the cows come home, a team, esp kids, behaviour and attitude mirrors that of the coach. So, of course you had to be here, but, get rid of the bad apple (the coach) and you minimize your problems, to allow him off the hook gives his team the impression that the coaches behaviour is ok, so they will mirror it, and bang you have your unruly team.
So to sum up, you think its right to have a coach swearing at you. You are allowed that view point. I do not think its right and would be taking proactive action which in turn would hopefully enhance my match control.
The gratitude of a u13 team on my handling of a game, whilst a nice thought, has no influence or bearing on ones referee performance.
