U14s yellow vs blue, blue player tackled and feels he’s fouled by yellow defender I don’t agree and it’s play on, blue player shouts at defender “you C.nt” loud enough for some parents on the sidelines to hear. I stop game. As I’m walking over to him half my brains saying straight Red offinabus, other half saying I don’t want to be sending a 13 year old off so I give a yellow USB and a good talking too. His coach chooses to take him straight off also.
later in game yellow keeper gets his team out of a defensive crisis and shouts at his team to “fu..ing sort it out” I have a public word with him - no card.
A blue player takes exception to this perceived double standards and talks his way into the sinbin followed by red for further swearing at me.
I tried explaining to him there are different levels of swearing and also context/who it’s aimed at are important factors (evidenced by the fact I didn’t yellow card 3 of his players for shouting “fu..ing get in there” when they had earlier scored an equaliser)
obviously any of this sort of language from 13 year olds is disgusting so I left the game thinking I should of gone red with the first C bomb, pulled the captain’s in to send a message to their teams any further swearing will be sanctioned?
thoughts and advice pls all
