Yeah. My kids have been on losing teams and the last couple they've been on winning teams. So Ive been on both sides of this. But this year some of these "adults" are just childish. They even make it were the parents have to stay on a certain side of the forty (midfield for this age), so they don't fight.
Oh and don't even tell the ref they are wrong or they will penalize the team. Our kids got a first and goal by converting the 4th down. They played the first then the ref signaled that it was a first down going the other way and moved the chains. We started yelling that it was 2nd down and the coach had to get out there. Finally they put the chains back down and the ref signaled 3rd down our ball. I yelled no 2nd down at the ref and he came to me yelling "are you the coach?". I said "no are you a ref?". Our coach then yelled to me that they got it.
I understand that you can't personnaly badger the ref by calling them names and such, but they would have thick skin especially when they screw something major up. It wasn't like he missed a block or a holding the guy wasn't Keeping track of downs. Basic ref duties.
