Big mouth? Sideline coaching.

A special 'thanks' to the big mouth parents for a close success in getting our game almost shut down yesterday. The ref. kindly asked you to quit sideline coaching. You had no problem getting your coach kicked out of a game, when you simply refused to leave when asked. Sideline parent coaches should learn how to be quiet & allow the ref. to do his job (even if he is certifyably insane). Furthermore, allow the coach to do what he is paid to do.

uh oh. not involved at 03 level, but just out of curiosity, are we talking sideline "coaching" or a bit more?

No, DFW Tejanos parents abided by the rules. Was quite confusing for the players (at this young age) to understand why his coach was kicked out of a game. Sideline parent coaches really do suck.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. The game between the Texans and Tejano's was laughable and the notion that parents are to blame and that parents suck is an affront to all parents who follow the game and have passion about their kids involvement. The Tejano's played a great game against DT South's B-Team and the only complaint that I heard was that the Referee threw a temper tantrum and ruined the flow of the game. Wake up and smell the coffee, the game is about the kids and not the referees who like to instruct club players on the pitch (I am certain that club players know how the game works) or who send parents and coaches away because they have a need to establish their autonomy. Parents who spend time, money, and effort towards their child's development don't need to be spoken too in this manner and I suggest that you try to constrain yourself the next time you feel the urge to enlighten them with such wicked banter.
