At an under 11s football match, game very evenly balanced at 4 all , a mum runs on the pitch to have a go at a 10 yr old boy for pulling her sons shirt,
The woman had to be stopped by me who was running the line and restrained from physically attacking a kid, the vile mouth and fury was appalling,
She needs shooting, the woman then told me that because I would not allow her to the child by standing in between and putting my arms up ,
That I shouldn't touch a woman,
My response of when I see one I will consider her comment as acceptable just drove her mad
Un real and people think its the dads that can't keep respect on the sides
The kid was so scared ruined his game and had to be subbed ,
Our kids wouldn't put a tackle in there after afnd lost the game 6 5
The ironic thing of it all her son was booked for some disgusting tackles and then their manger was asked to sub him before he got sent off for calling the the ref a pussy

Can't really believe that it happend tbh
The team were from woodgreen , tried to field 2 players from their 1st team with the wrong cards aswell and we stopped that as well
Win at any cost football quite depressing because the game was top quality ,
Us a football pass and move team, against a big strong organised physical team
Obviously a bad experience for all concerned, not least for you - hope the lad is OK. Sadly it is not uncommon.
I recall a comparable"in game" confrontation when running the line for a junior side I was coaching, where the "parent" even tried to enter the changing room after the game. Fortunately the referee saw the incident and ordered him from the ground (the park) warning the other club of the dire consequences they faced if he refused to go.
If a game was either a Cup or League fixture one remedy is to register your complaints with the league/ association to which their club is affiliated.
Any club/ team is responsible for its officials, players and supporters. If enough people register formal complaints against their club it will either be fined or expelled from its league and or the local football association. Most clubs, in my experience simply kick the offenders out of the club.
It may seem a bit over the top but remember if this was U11's then this character could be around for a few more years, which enough to put any youngster of playing altogether.
But by no means the majority of them, certainly in my experience running school football teams.
I tell our players and parents that our school expects exemplary conduct from them whatever the circumstances. Players who argue with the ref are subbed and parents who behave inappropriately during a match - well, the end result is their child will not be picked again.
We have not had problems but there was an incident two years back where a teacher got attacked by a grandparent.
Utterly pathetic.

Some people need therapy.
