Posh parents eh? Just goes to show that many people are bastards no matter what 'class' they are from - I'm guessing the majority in this case got angry because they are desperate to be seen as successful and well-off in the 'right-circles'. A bunch of twats in other words! I'm sure most of the kids would be happy enough in a scabby field jumping over hay bales... |

| This type of behavior always disgusts me. It's just parents living their dreams through their children. Like parents who get thrown out of little league games, they are no better. |

| It's the same here, although, it tends to be focused mostly on hockey. |

| You just want to tell the parents "GET A LIFE....OF YOUR OWN!!". Sad, really, for both the parent and the kid. Imagine how embarrassing. |

Used to be that way, but now we are entering into the summer season the same parents are popping up on the football (soccer) pitch too.
I coach kids of varying ages and generally the parents have been ok but I have witnessed some nasty behaviour too.
The club I coach for has a zero tolerance policy and if the parent doesn't come back into line they're out and so is their kid. Its the only way to deal with c*nts like that. |

| I have to agree. My brother used to ref football (not the american kind, the real stuff!), and he would have a chat with the parents before the game. He actually had to throw a parent out once for verbal abuse. What kind of lesson is that teaching the kids? If you yell, scream and are rude you get results? I applaud clubs like yours, maycm. It sends the right message. It's sad when the parents act younger than the kids. |
