Had a decent u15 girls game today, nothing exciting happened. However there was one chap watching who just would not shut up. Normally I wont say anything to or acknowledge spectators, as I'm there for the match not to justify my decisions. If I'm close by and the situation allows I might have a quick tongue in cheek word with them to raise a smile. But more often than not I wont.
But today this guy was literally shouting over and over again about decisions against his team. Really loudly "REF REF REF REF hows that a corner? Hows that a freekick? Thats never offside." That sort of thing. Towards the end I even (to my own annoyance in hindsight) acknowledged a couple of his queries but justifying what I'd done. I regret doing it as normally wouldnt and really it achieves nothing. I was just wondering how people deal with this, do you just ignore it all the time or any better suggestions.
