one word =red[uRESPECT[/u, sadly not enough teams coaches and parents emphasise this. The lad who had been warned should of been pulled from the field of play by his coaches and given 10 minutes to cool off. as for the idiot with the bat threats he should be arrested and charged with an offence . im guessing the ref was a kid if so do the thickos not realise that if not for these youngsters then the games would end up in chaos.


moving on no game for rangers 9s this week as sadly birstall as folded, the 8s have the short trip to eastmoor weather permitting

thats not good to see brayton, and i agree parents like that shouldnt be near any sporting pitch,

I can't believe how its just got out of hand, I have left dewsbury moor talking to a coach there explaining that parents are getting over the top and repairing some of the damage down on their previous visit but this far worse, to threaten the ref stopping a lad from being hit

I hope the book is bloody hard when it hits them

Because it's in your blood and if you don't you'll leave to someone else who just doing because they have no choice.

Stick with the players/team you have and help raise the standards for others to follow. The game/players need YOU.

We were at the ground yesterday moarning with normy knights u12s , i did nt see the incident but saw the look on the faces of the cas lads coming off the pitch .This sort of behaviour is just not acceptable, the lads take into adult life what they learn from their parents. Big fines needed to stamp it out

heworth u9s 24 cas panthers u9s 20

a very tough game for the panthers this morning played in freezing conditions,both teams scored 4 tries but it was heworth`s goal kicking that proved the difference,my players are a bit down but they are playing without me on the field while heworth still had their coach on the field to give them direction,its tough for them at the moment but in the long runn they will reap the benefits.

thankfully no incidents to report today.

unlucky we too lost a close encounter by the two points missed, why have you chosen not to be on the field directing them, are pushing their talents earlier?

i made the decision because i felt we were ready to take the next step,from u8s this team were very good and very rarely lost a game,they were at a stage where they only had to turn up to win but they were begining to take it for granted and stagnating and not learning much.now they after make the decisions themselves and put into practice what we do in training.

to be fare to them they are doing very well despite making some errors but now they are learning again, the most important thing is learning to do things for themselves without having to be told.the easy option would be for me to stay on the field and call all the plays and win games but i have a lot of trust in my three playmakers who take it in turns to call the sets and they enjoy the responability.

blades have been banned from jan1st

I came across a ref today who offered no respect to players or coaches, does this respect thingy work both ways or are we just supposed to give it Mutley.

I'll even name him as you will all know him "MR BEAN" and i offer him no respect and never will

did normy u12s yesterday and was not that bad ,was a tad clueless at times but to both teams in equal measures

I'm waiting for the "no ref no game brigade" to point out to them lets take the no game option then.

was he that bad , just made me chuckle when he run past us longest legs i ve ever seen on a bloke . We ve had a lot lot worse than him though

sounds like the ref we had at normy, played 30 mins first half, 15 the second when we was supposed to play twenty each half, the comical thing was how he blow for full time after normy to the lead

talk about looking after your team

yep and it happens throughout the game al at any level and this official should be brought to book but when men are running from the touchline to argue with a child in a refs outfit then i think that is compounding the situation and makes it impossible to train the kids to "Play to the whistle" .

so in answer to your question al to demand respect you must first off all give it , if you do give it then get none back in return the you must turn the other cheek and give the guy the week after respect as this time you may be dealing with a better caliber of person.

and yes I am guilty of criticizing the men in middle but in my own way.

sounds like a typical hard game over at heworth.

I can see him being ok ish with younger age groups, but not at 17's as most of them are old enough to know right from wrong and by that i don't mean any disrespect the younger ones.

The guys an oxygen thief.

i think its important the refs get respect but they too have to give it and hold their hands up when they get it wrong.there are some poor refs about but there are some good ones too and we would all prefer the good ones every week but it doesnt happen and never will.

a good ref is an honest ref who goes un-noticed unfortunatly many of the refs feel they are the game star and that goes for super league refs too.

its always a good game against heworth,unfortunatley they only have 9 players and its hard for opponants to combat having to give everyone plenty of game time without weekening the side too much and with a big pitch the lesser players stand out even more so with less players out there.

Totaly agree with you.

Thats fair enough and i like to think all refs are different and i would in no way carry it to the next one, i've done a bit of reffing at Crigg in my time and i know how hard it can be, but i still managed to treat players/coaches with respect in the first instance.

By the way we lost 42-16 and the ref had no bearing on the result, they were by far the better side and deserved the win.

oh yes i too have done some reffing

yes i know where you are coming from its a ball ache at times for stanley as they normally have around 13/14

Must be really tough having too many players

has opposed to not have enough i mean.

Yorkshire Juniors take tough stance Added 2nd Dec 2008

Yorkshire Juniors manament are becoming increasingly concerned with the unprecendented rise in the number of cases that are coming to their disciplinary meetings this season.

And the league chiefs have warned that they will continue to dish out the heavy fines - or worse - in an attempt to stamp out the worringly high volume of cases that appear before them.

A spokesman for the giant Junior league warned that the management will not tolerate the rise in rule breaking and hinted that, if the current rise continued, it would only be a matter of time until we would be forced to impose much tougher sanctions.

The spokesman went on to say that they were having to organise extra disciplinary hearings as the number of cases was around five times the amount that they were used to dealing with, adding that the disciplinary meetings were begining to disrupt the running of the league and stated,
"It's time now for the unruly element - which is in the minority - to start acting responsibly and act in a proper manner in order for the league management to concentrate fully on their primary duty which is, to supply fixtures for children of ages 6 to 15 year old. We fully support and impliment the RFL RESPECT programme and would expect our member clubs to do so."

The spokesman continued, "The majority of the clubs are well behaved and act responsibly, we as a league management just hope that clubs are not sucked in to this worrying trend of ill discipline.
