When we arrived my Dad informed team B that we had been unable to find a referee and that I was a referee before he could say anything else the team b coach said "I know that he is your son I recognise him" my dad asked him if this Is ok (as per league rules incase of conflict of interest) he replied "yes of course that's fine".
The game started and about 20 minutes into the first half the linesman for team B raised his flag for offside however the player dribbled this ball himself through the defence and the player offside did not become involved in play. I therefore allowed play to continue which led to a goal kick for team B. The players were furious saying I cant over rule their linesman and there coach was screaming at me saying the same.
25 minutes into the game the same thing happened again a team A player dribbling through with another player who was offside but didnt become involved in the play this time it led to a goal and I had all the players surround me calling me cheat and saying that I had no clue what I was doing. The coach at this point was being rather aggressive shouting at me.
At half time the score was team A 5 - 0 Team B. Team A players came back onto the pitch but then all the parents for team B walked right across the pitch to the coach and players at that point there coach shouted at me " we aren't playing if you are going to be like that what's the point" I walked back over to the sideline having abuse hurled at me from team B players and parents. I was called specky and ginger **** by both players and spectators and an idiot by the coach. The parents were also shouting at team A players saying that they are a disgrace and that they aren't even good at football. My dad went up to there coach and said " I really dont think you are setting a good example to your kids here but good luck for the season" and he walked away he had the teamsheet on the clip board thrown at him by the team B coach and one of their parents ran after him calling him a scouse **** and tried to punch him from behind but had to be restrained by another parent it was awful to witness and I have never seen such poor behaviour.
My dad has just taken over this team a few weeks ago after his players left the coach of team B as he wasnt very kind to his players and they formed this new team which he got asked if he would take as coach. The players moved team Bs club to a new club to form team A. So some history there but that shouldnt matter.
Any advice?
