Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    A big problem in all sports and indeed society at large is adults projecting their own insecurities onto children. Childten are much more savy and resilient than often they are given credit for by their less mature elders. Children from a very young age realise that there are winners and losers in every game and are mostly fine with it, its adults who have most trouble with the fact.

    I appreciate the point but I also feel there has been a tipping point whereby its widely recognised that
    (i) shouting at kids (i.e. to perform on the pitch etc) does the kids themselves absolutely no good
    (ii) that its bad practise from a coaching point of view;
    (iii) that it is socially unacceptable;
    (iv) mentors / coaches shouting or complaining to the referee/ officials is also socially unacceptable.

    If a coach or parent is roaring their heads off at their own kid or other kids, it wont be long until they get a tap on the shoulder.

    Its becoming a no-no, and very much the exception rather than the rule.

    We enforce that rule at our matches. The refs are young girls learning their skills also. Its all about encouragement for both teams and ensuring the well play and handshake afterwards between them all.
