Bloody hell, taking this to the media instead of sorting it at the club? Weak as.

Jamie Fox2026-06-16T23:24:00.000Z

Exactly. Club should sort it, not newspapers.

Honestly, kids sport should be about fun, not this drama. Both sides need to grow up.

Stuff2026-06-17T00:16:00.000Z

agree. Both sides just embarrassing themselves.

Mia Carter2026-06-16T23:42:00.000Z

Typical, one side complains, the other fires back. Meanwhile the kids just wanna play footy.

I was at the game. Wasn't that bad tbh. Some parents are just soft these days.

Hana Stewart2026-06-17T00:52:00.000Z

cope, 'soft parents' — classic. Abuse is abuse.

Ella Thompson2026-06-17T00:24:00.000Z

ffs it's under 9s, not the World Cup. Everyone needs to take a chill pill.

Mia Carter2026-06-17T00:53:00.000Z

Facts. Kids don't care about the drama, they just wanna tackle.

Morgan Lee2026-06-17T00:35:00.000Z

Abusive behaviour at kids sport? Yeah nah, that's cooked. Call it out.
