referee (29/09/2008)
If it continues and/or becomes worse maybe you need to stop the game and warn him that ifhe continues in that manner you could report his behaviour as a ''code of conduct'' to the District Society or Union or even send him off. Coaches can be sentaway from the field of play.
This indeed happened happened to 1 of our other U15's coaches a couple of weeks ago when playing an away game in the u15 cup he was send from the touchline by the ref during the 2nd half after he had previously approached us about complaining about his intepretation of the laws & more specifically the allowing of the home team to constanly infringe but pulling our lads up at the slighest misdemenor causing the afore said coach to get more frustrated & louder as the game went on,.I must add both myself (just passed level 1 ref last season)& the other coach(level 3 ref) are both refs we also found his intepretaions hard to understand but left it till after the game to put forward our points even though it can be difficult to stand on the touchline bitting your tongue so to say.

| I'm a coach (U13) and I also referee mainly for U13's but also for other ages as well when needed. Before the game starts I always same the same thing to all players and their coaches before the game starts. "I will make my decisions based on what I see not by players, coaches or spectators see. I will make mistakes and so will they, if we add them up at the end I'm sure they will have made more; knock ons etc. As I will not start going on at them for making a mistake I don't expect them to do it to me. If they have any questions during the game then I will only listen to their captain if they can find the time to have a chat during the game then that's up to them. Coaches are more than welcome to speak to me at half time or if there is a break due to injury." I ask for confirmation that they understand and sometimes I will remind them during the game. This tends to work OK on the whole.

As a coach who sometimes referees, I must say that I have very rarely come across refs who are biased (or at least show their bias). As far as competence is concerned, one hopes, but one should not expect. Sometimes one has to say to the players quietly, "He doesn't seem to know that rule, but he is playing the same for both teams - live with it." Without that one person, all the players in the two teams could not play the game. Most referees at the junior/children's level are Sunday volunteers, and should be appreciated as such. Assessment forms are going to send these refs back to their armchairs, and most cannot spare the time (or expense) to take qualifying exams.
The only thing is that if you can't stand the situation as is, get qualified, get a whistle, and get out and do it. I loved one comment after a recent Under 11 game, "Refereeing these games is like playing Play Station without the hand controls isn't it!"

| I came across such an example of an 'unruly' coach working with u12s towards the end of last season.Sadly he was completely negative towards the ref during his game and his own players (resorting one to tears!).His 'bully boy' tactics won 'him' the game because he intimidated the ref and our team so badly. Last weekend we encounterd this same coach this time on neutral turf he was living up to his usual standards and was duly sent off by the ref.As luck would have it the officiating ref was a society ref and as such has the authority to report this guy and is doing! As WO of a junior section i hold it as my responsibility to monitor all the coaches/volunteers who work with the players on a Sunday and make sure that their conduct is in line with what is required by the RFU and acceptable,civil behaviour.The club should take responsibility for its members and instil the correct line of conduct and discipline or how can they be allowed to guide young players. As mentioned in an earlier post we,as coaches, are modeling the future of the game and future social skills of our players.Examples need to be made of the 'bad apples' its a shame for this coaches club and the ref involved that it has taken yet another 'dispicable public display' to sort this one out!

| At the Lexus Festival in Sheffield a couple of weeks ago coaches were offering loud and unwanted advice from the side in our first two matches. On both occassions the referee came over and asked them to let him get on with it. They behaved for the rest of the time. Both refs were good humoured about it, but firm and clear about their expectations. The key, I think, was that they caught it early and put a stop to it.
