I managed my sons under 12’s side in 2002-3.

The rule was brought in that season that parents had to shut the f u c k up on sidelines.

All well and good when playing kids from middle class areas but hopeless in the poorer demographic areas.

I packed it in due to my own committee who were a bunch of w a n k e r s.

Our team wasn’t very good and although they improved under me I felt that everyone should get a game if they turned up for training.

My own son wasn’t that good at that age so I made him a sub most weeks which really narked him but I thought it sent out a “no favouritism” message to all.

I got dragged in by the idiots on the committee who blasted me for giving the slightly poorer kids a 15-20 second half run out.

I told them to stick the job up their collective a r s e........when finishing 10th at best instead of maybe 12th to 15th out of 20 teams is what drives you then I’m the wrong bloke to coach the kids.

The parents loved me because I was fair yet the committee of c u n t s hated me.

Funny that.

Parental abuse was worse by committee parents than ordinary parents in many cases.
