Yelling abuse at under-9s? Real tough, guys. Hope they get stood down.
Bloody embarrassing for Papakura. Kids just trying to play footy and the adults lose their minds over a game that ran late. Get a grip.
As someone who reffed junior games, this happens way too often. Parents and officials need to chill, it's literally for the kids.
here. First time I reffed I had a parent scream at me for 10 minutes. Almost quit that day.
what a load of shit, hope those committee members get a lifetime ban
Bet they wouldn't be so loud if the ref was built like a front rower. Pathetic.
nah it's pathetic. Adults acting worse than the kids.
facts. Ban them from every junior game for a year, see how they like it.
ffs it's an under-9 game ffs. The parents are the worst part of junior sport in NZ. 🤦
We need referees as it is, and then morons like this chase them away. Good luck finding refs when everyone's been abused out of it.
Lived near Prince Edward Park for years. Always drama from Papakura sides. Not surprised tbh.
lol cope, mate. Don't generalize an entire club for a few idiots.
Manurewa fans aren't angels either, but yeah committe members should know better. Disgrace
