Spectators on for a fight

I managed it for an observer!
About the only time you would though! I'm not telling a bunch of grown men that I won't ref their game because they've got the wrong coloured undershirts on. Not at grassroots with no protection unless there is an observer.
 
In my area, most observers would mention it in their debrief as a point of law, but not mention it in the report.

I'd definitely mention it in the report since it's a requirement of Law 4. It wouldn't be a DP though unless it somehow had an impact on the game ... 😉
 
Good luck trying to get them to change that at this level!
The only time I care about it is if it clashes with the opponent - and when that's the case (as it is here with the black/red stripes), it's usually a pretty easy sell to get them to change. If I see the ball hit a black-undershirted arm in a crowd, I need to be able to know which team that is.
