Quote: bren2k "Always the way.
The behaviour of some spectators is a blight on jr RL; we've almost lost 3 players this season, because their parents couldn't tolerate the level of verbal abuse that was coming from the sideline. I'm not sure what the answer is.'"
I understand coaching is a thankless task but I believe the blame lies with them.My lad plays u11's and every week if not top tackler he is in the top 3 but cannot get his hands on the ball cos 2-3 kids have it superglued to their hands.At the moment they can't buy a win but the coach will not change the way they play and 2 weeks ago packed it in but is still doing it even tho somebody else is doing it.When you speak to him he hides behind the club and is arrogant but yet as a parent you are expected to just stand and watch while the spirit is drained from the team and they just argue between themselves to the extent that 2 have gone this week.
