Was at a game last weekend at Troy Park. A 2031 championship game. 10 seconds into the first quarter, a dad starts yelling at the ref. Ref blew the whistle, turned to the stands and announced the next person to yell at the officials will be ejected. Never heard a peep other than cheering for the rest of the game, which was won by 1 goal so there was plenty of opportunity for parents to be yelling. Keep it up refs! Keep calling out the parents! It’s working. They are shutting up.
Awesome. Glad to her it.
Most refs understand that the coaches will get heated and it's not personal. That can usually be solved with some communication. But the blatant abuse and questioning of the refs by fans is unecessary.
Ref needs to warn the stands, then toss the offending parent. If it continues, penalize the affiliated team.
