RESPECT

Many games in junior football are now being played without a referee. There are many reasons for this but unfortunately touchline behaviour from both spectators and in some cases Managers and Coaches is a contributing factor.

Many of the referees at junior games are themselves children as referees are encouraged to take up the whistle from the age of 14. They should be supported and encouraged by all as they learn how to become a proficient referee, just as the other children are learning to play the game as players.

If you come across any of our spectators or Coaching staff behaving like "Geoff the biscuit" at our matches please report the incident. The Club will seek to educate and where required take the necessary action to prevent this all too common behaviour that is endangering the future of the game for our children.
