Back home
I used to coach junior football. I started at 14 helping out and whatever and took my badge at 16! My Mom and Dad were involved in a local kids club so I began coaching a team of my own. Hooray for nepotism!

This is not about the incredible level of hypocrisy I threw at the players I have coached over the years! ( Calm down and walk away! Ha yeah right )

I'd been with the team a year now and was 17 and growing as a coach along with the players as well players!

During one match one of the parents on the sideline from my team got particularly heated and the young referee told him to shut up!

After the match this parent went to the referee and said "I'm sorry I know I do get a bit excited during the game but there's no need to rip my head off!"

On the car park after everyone except me and my parents had gone home this referee arrives with his father.

"I'm reporting your club, you'll never play in this league again! One of your parents threatened to rip my lads head off, he's only 16! He's still a minor!"

My Mother being level headed and something of a beaurocrat replied

"I'll find out what's gone on, if that's the case then that parent will be banned from any games, but surely it's a little harsh to attempt to stop all of those children from playing?"

The man did not accept this, he began shouting at my Mother.

Which I took exception to. I told the man he should go home and calm down at which I received abuse. I told him he had a bad attitude.

He then told me he'd show me bad attitude and punched me square in the face.

Me. A 17 year old minor! Bearing in mind I've always looked young there was no way he could have confused me for being any older than 16!

Not only a hypocrite but a giant fanny with it because he ran away to his car the moment he realised he'd not hurt me ( I'm not hard, he just punched like a girl ) and there was now 6'3 of Dad storming toward him ( it probably had more to do with that in fairness )
