We were at the ground yesterday moarning with normy knights u12s , i did nt see the incident but saw the look on the faces of the cas lads coming off the pitch .This sort of behaviour is just not acceptable, the lads take into adult life what they learn from their parents. Big fines needed to stamp it out

heworth u9s 24 cas panthers u9s 20

a very tough game for the panthers this morning played in freezing conditions,both teams scored 4 tries but it was heworth`s goal kicking that proved the difference,my players are a bit down but they are playing without me on the field while heworth still had their coach on the field to give them direction,its tough for them at the moment but in the long runn they will reap the benefits.

thankfully no incidents to report today.

unlucky we too lost a close encounter by the two points missed, why have you chosen not to be on the field directing them, are pushing their talents earlier?

i made the decision because i felt we were ready to take the next step,from u8s this team were very good and very rarely lost a game,they were at a stage where they only had to turn up to win but they were begining to take it for granted and stagnating and not learning much.now they after make the decisions themselves and put into practice what we do in training.

to be fare to them they are doing very well despite making some errors but now they are learning again, the most important thing is learning to do things for themselves without having to be told.the easy option would be for me to stay on the field and call all the plays and win games but i have a lot of trust in my three playmakers who take it in turns to call the sets and they enjoy the responability.

I came across a ref today who offered no respect to players or coaches, does this respect thingy work both ways or are we just supposed to give it Mutley.

I'll even name him as you will all know him "MR BEAN" and i offer him no respect and never will

did normy u12s yesterday and was not that bad ,was a tad clueless at times but to both teams in equal measures

I'm waiting for the "no ref no game brigade" to point out to them lets take the no game option then.

was he that bad , just made me chuckle when he run past us longest legs i ve ever seen on a bloke . We ve had a lot lot worse than him though

sounds like the ref we had at normy, played 30 mins first half, 15 the second when we was supposed to play twenty each half, the comical thing was how he blow for full time after normy to the lead

talk about looking after your team

yep and it happens throughout the game al at any level and this official should be brought to book but when men are running from the touchline to argue with a child in a refs outfit then i think that is compounding the situation and makes it impossible to train the kids to "Play to the whistle" .

so in answer to your question al to demand respect you must first off all give it , if you do give it then get none back in return the you must turn the other cheek and give the guy the week after respect as this time you may be dealing with a better caliber of person.

and yes I am guilty of criticizing the men in middle but in my own way.
