At a grassroots level, how do you handle these?
I’ve just been sent a tweet from one of the clubs I refereed last week that states:
“Was a tough game today for ______, with an injured goalkeeper and some very questionable decisions from the referee, but the ladies battled right till the end.”
It’s not the worst thing I’ve seen a club tweet about a referee but I’d also be having a word with a player who said this to me, let alone undermining me in front of the entire league by tweeting it.
I’m especially annoyed since the “questionable” decision was a red card for their players OFFINABUS language towards me.
I’m happy to just ignore it as a fact of social media but also feel like I should do something in the same way I report a bike theft even though I know they don’t do much!
Thoughts welcome
