Refereeing 5 a side under 7 tournament match.....blue has ball,he runs past red player,red kicks the back of the leg of blue sending him flying, so i award a free kick.....some prat of a parent shouts "He is allowed to make a tackle you know".

Hope your reply was not like that

My response at things like that is to not look over at the person who shouted but but shake my head slowly like I would if I heard some terrible news...

 

[mikedn]

totally ignored him...karma prevailed....they lost 6-0

When would simply ignoring an idiot like that not prevail? I always find that they soon give up if you don't give them the attention that they so desperately crave.

This was a spectator. You, as the referee, should not get involved with spectators.
