[Albion] Silent Support Weekend

[Slum_Wolf]

I watched my daughter team play Saturday morning. There were a few calls of support, nothing much, and applause when pertinent.

It was the flattest, most depressing footballing experience in my entire life. I even had more fun refreshing Ceefax in the 80/90's. Fully understand the thinking, and i hate parents getting overbearing at the games, but please let me support my daughters team in the right way.

Absolutely. I fully understand why but it was so so flat. Should have stayed in bed.

Good idea, I'm looking forward to my son's U13 match this Sunday.
Without derailing the thread, a lot of our parent frustration comes from having some poor refs (sound familiar?!). I know, we are lucky to have them, and some are still within their 5 or 6 game run to qualify. When someone's son is wiped out by an opponent (these teams are normally coached that way too ) and the opponent is not sin binned for (10 mins ) , sometimes even no foul is given, we do worry a tad how long an ambulance would take on a Sunday afternoon...and consequently get edgy and mouthy. It shouldn't all be about the parents behaviour, IMO.

Talk about an overreaction, I think it cold be you with the problem. No wonder we've a shortage of referees but you will obviously know the Laws of the game better.

If you read the whole thread you'll see that I acknowledge I used the wrong words and gave the wrong impression about how we react. Thanks.
