The saddest part is seeing a grown man trying to intimidate a 14 yr old ref, true the game my of needed a calming influence but parents baying for kids blood justifies my doing what i did.

shame for the lad who scored twice head n shoulders the game breaker and had the opportunity of a hat trick snatched away.

congrats to the parents of Stanley who did not get dragged into a feud.



btw as far as stanley are concerned its nothing to do with a certain player choosing to play where he is comfortable that is his choice i just hope that his talent is spotted and that he is not harassed by grown ups.

M O T M - the ref who stod his ground and abandond the match


btw im netural

nah not for stanley .

I'm getting a bit fed up with the parents of late, its become a witch hunt onto one player who is head above the others in his enthusiasm effort

agree

stanley rangers is a well run club get things sorted with the commitee they will back the players 100%. how old are they u11s ffs, things to remember with kids are they are learning the game, theyre young and happy and enjoy life. parents should also remember it is the lads game not THEIRS and parents should not try to live their lives through their kids

In a parents meeting I spoke about the amount of support shouted to the lads on the side lines was getting excessive and it has been recognized and toned down, what we can't cater for is the oppositions actions in the way the didn't respect the wishes of the referee, this is a young lad learning a trade and had the balls to confront there coach, a verbal rejection to remove himself from the field left him no other than call the game off, so this one is down to their coach

its very sad when we are talking about an u11s game like this,i fully understand that it was a derby game but lets be honest it shouldnt happen but it has and its been going on for too long.kids shouldnt after see their coach,parents or other spectators getting involved in such a carry on.over the years ive seen it all from coaches fighting to grandparents throwing punches non of which had anything to do with the little warriors on the field.




weather permitting;

shaw cross u8s vs cas panthers u8s k.o 10.30

castleford panthers u9s vs stanningley u9s k.o 11.00

very true and very sad


rangers 8s at home to upton

rangers 9s away in a re arranged friendly at Lock Lane , a big test for the lads.

Parents should be kept as far away from matches as possible.....I used to referee when I was younger and they ruin the game for their kids with their attitudes. I'd ban the lot of them!

no wonder my mine never came to watch me

in australia parents are invited to games and if they dont behave they dont come the week afterit leaves the coaches to do their jobs and the kids to enjoy

the sad thing is that this was the coach / touch line manager who did this the very people who should be training respect both to the players and crowd.

STANLEY V UPTON UDER 8s =red[uOFF[/u DUE TO WEATHER

should be a good test for stanley,lane are a decent team and will be smarting from losing their first game last week against dewsbury moor.

yep it will test a few off our lads but i think the experience of stepping up a level will see them well.

Lock Lane 9s 14 Stanley 9s 28

fantastic game by both teams

superb win for the rangers that preserves that unbeaten run against a team in a higher group . the rangers had a few missing players and the lads had to stay on for the full match so quite a few will sleep tonight.

well done to the lads nice to hear they are ready for the next level

cas panthers u8s postponed

cas panthers u9s 12 stanningley u9s 24

we lost out in lets say it was a very physical game played in tough conditions,we didnt have the rub of the green from the ref but they deserved their win after intimidating us out of it.

a good win for stanley over lane who up until the last two weeks have been drubbing teams for fun in pool 2.

Westgate Wolves

more like Tadpoles on a hot day, lost to Drigglington with ease

to continue to that game it was deemed that the club was to be fined £150 for the lets say indiscretions, we have taken a zero tolerance from now on and will not allow the lads standards to drop, a constant reminder will always be on hand

I hope that the other under 11s clubs that we play take the same attitude and stop this rivalry and just get on with the game.

we have this weekend dewsbury moor who beat us at home, so time to put things right and come away with a win

That's if our prop is allowed to play his usual game without opposing coaches/parents baying for his blood mate.

a star in the making, i expect a different game on sat

yeah i know , grown men exchanging info about sorting out or keeping a eye on players . FFS the lad is 11

.

dewsbury moor under11s 6 stanley rangers under11s 4 this was a had fought battle under very cold conditions, both sides put a good defensive battle, it was end to end and our line was penetrated when my lad tried an interception and the player slipped behind to score


at least he understood what he had done and another lesson learned
kippax at home next week

hope they come to play the same game we had today

i went to watch hunselt warriors u10s vs cas panthers u10s this morning and im sad to say the game was abandond after an incident.

a panthers player ran the ball in and was punched in the tackle by the warriors no 4 who then went to have another go despite the referee blowing up, the ref held the no4 by his shirt to prevent him striking the panthers player again but the warriors coaches didnt like the ref holding the player and ran onto the pitch to confront the ref while the lads parent then ran onto the pitch looking to kill the ref and was threatening to hit him with a baseball bat,i tell you i have never seen anything like it.the panthers parents rightly pulled their kids off the field.

imo the referee was right to hold the no4 after it was about the 3rd time the lad had been warned about his behaviour,the parent who ran onto the field should never be allowed near a rugby field again,the referee had to make a quick exit from the ground in fear of repucutions.

i sometimes wonder why i bother coaching when incidents like this happen,i went today to watch an older age group than the one i coach and tbh i wish i hadnt bothered.
