[QUOTE=echappist;19538552]well, there are all sorts of stories of how parents or adult rec league players go after referees. Just imagine making an incorrect offside call and getting an earful
Who cares about the earful in some tournaments I use to ref and the parent would have been barred from the field and politely escorted off. The most problem I had was in the adult leauges and especially soccer refs. They would do dirty stuff and as long as they could get away with it(no blood no foul) but as soon as somebody did it to them they would cry. The worst I had was a Spanish/American game and after a goal is scored you turn your back and take the ball to mid field. One player cold cocked(knocked out) another player. Game over and thankfully I collected the money before the game instead of after.
