ref (looked about 18) let him go, not even a word.


screw that. card them, card them all. little wankers need to pull their heads in, so do the coaches, so do the parents.
its a joke people just assume thats the way you behave on a field.
100% agree that players and coaches get away with way too much that is targetted towards referees. Immediate penalties should be quicker and harsher.

This past weekend at Speers Pt an under 9's coach was criticizing a game leaders calls to the extent where the bloke stopped the game and told the coach to take the whistle or he could get off the field. Said coach continued his verbals to the extent the young Northern rep had to step in and ask both sides to calm down. Northern bloke should have immediately told old mate to leave the field.

However, red card at half time and a 6 week suspension for the above mentioned call to another player........ seems completely OTT.
