I only had to dismiss or rather suggest to one Manager, St Joseph’s Rawmarsh, to calm down and let the kids enjoy their football. He was screaming at them like a school bully, berating them for messing up a pass or not controlling the ball correctly. They were 7-8 year olds! Anyway he thought he’d continue more in the second half so I suggested he moved from the touch line or it was something else.
He left and moved away much to the pleasure of the parents whose kids he was supposed to be managing.
As for the 4th official, if a Ref drops a clanger I think managers should be able to let them know via the 4th official they are out of order but, it’s how you get your message across….. but that’s Evo. 😄
