Swearing u18 games

[RustyRef]

If the coaching isn't trying to influence the play, then it's not very good coaching

I missed the word unfairly it would appear

Might be the only coach for team and if you’ve asked them to run the line, they’re doing you a favour. Telling them they can’t then coach seems unfair. They’d just turn round and say i won’t bother doing line for you. Unless the coaching is influencing their decisions on the game just let it go.

Safeguarding rules ought to prevent that.

Get out of the habit of saying "foul and abusive language". There's no such thing on a football field. The term is "Offensive, Insulting or Abusive language (or gestures). The LOTG don't mention the word "foul" because it's not an offence to swear. It's the content and manner of delivery that is what determines whether the referee views it as "OFFINABUS".

The law used to be "Foul or Abusive language" ,which was changed in the mid-90's, I think. It was that when I first qualified back in 1982..... Too many people recall the old (now incorrect wording) to deal with swearing.

Pedantry alert - it was "Foul or abusive . ." (and was changed in 1997 in the big rewrite)

Way before my time.

But like I said, swearing isn't an offence in and of itself.

I ref u16 and up as adults that means no leeway on SPA or FT but as long as language isn’t excessive or at me, AR or other players will let it go

Out of interest, how would you deal with the examples I gave in #12?

I think I must of misunderstood your question

I just don't understand whether your reply meant you would or would not take action in the examples I quoted - perhaps a predictive text issue?

#12 yes if I deem it offensive yes I’m taking action
