Watched that report last night. The state of the game up there is disgusting. I Really feel for those kids.
One email game into them last night saying how a playiner who was taking a throw in had a fan come up to him and put a pair of scissors to his next because they were winning 4-0.
Absolute Joke

Yeah, I saw that too, it was shocking.
Back in my days of reffing I did an U14's county cup quarter final with two sides who shall remain nameless...oh, go on, it was Clymping and Oakwood. Clymping were always a friendly, decent club but Oakwood were thugs.
It all started when, in the crowd of 50 or 60, one Oakwood parent was screaming abuse at a Clymping dad who offered him out, across the pitch, and I had to stop the game for that, threatening to abandon it if they didn't stop.
Play went on and just before half time, with Oakwood a few goals up, a physical oakwood striker conceded a free kick for a foul on the defender. I blew and he went wild, attacking the guy he fouled, headbutting him, kicking him, losing it. A few other Oakwood lads did the same and the game was a farce.
I called it off, reported it all and the lad got a 'sine die' ban (banned until a hearing). The hearing came and he was charged with assault which carried a 100 day ban or so. It got turned down, by the County FA to violent conduct. Both sides were thrown out, Clymping got the same punishment as Oakwood, which was grossly unfair to a Clymping side who were clearly the victims and the way the Sussex County FA treated me, the ref, was shocking, barely allowing me to put my side of events across.
To this day I've never seen one player lose it so much at any level of football, and such a paltry punishment as well.
It's the FAs that condone it by that kind of petty action.

But the good news is Merstham and Redhill have been reinstated, so I might go along next Tuesday to see my two most "local" teams ;D |
