Under 13's Football League

Possibly one of the most rigged leagues I've heard of.

Just came back from a game with my younger brother's team, and what a carry on it was. We were playing a team called Langcraigs, and they have a history for not keeping their mouth shut (last time we played them they threatened my younger brother because he's a powerful tackler) and today was just a laugh.

The referee, a pretty fat guy who we could tell from the start was gonna be dodgy, was very biased against our team. Whenever we tackled someone (even just a small tackle), the drama queens of Langcraigs were down and rolling about as if they broke their leg. We also had three obviously legal goals disallowed, with no reason given why.

And it gets better. My younger brother was tackled by someone (from where I was standing it looked nasty but he wasn't complaining), and of course the referee couldn't miss it but Langcraigs started shouting abuse at him, the referee then said that my brother hit the player, my brother question's the decision and is red carded (he got a yellow earlier for a perfectly normal tackle). Then another one of our players questions the decision and he's red carded, for proving the referee wrong. Everyone starts shouting at the referee, especially us. A few of us started giving him dogs abuse, calling him bhudda and all sorts.

At the end of the match, the coach of our team talked to the referee, arguing about his decisions. Voices were raised and it was getting nasty, and there was plenty of kids watching. They went to the ref's 'office' (a small room with nothing in it) where they sat and argued. One of the player's mothers asked the referee to stop shouting because it was a bad influence on the kids, so the referee pushes her and things were escalating in the changing rooms.

So as you can see, under 13's has to be one of the most fixed leagues ever. And I should mention, this has happened alot where the referee is biased against us (no, it's not a state of mind which gives us that opinion, it's pretty damn obvious :ehh:).

Worst game of football, ever.

All Scottish referees are just shit in general, what you've said comes as no great suprise tbh

Although the referee in my game this morning had an excellent game

I would have been right in there with the abuse, i wouldnt be able to help myself. fun, fun fun!

Just to be clear, we're talking about soccer here right?

Yes indeed.

You're allowed to tackle people in soccer o.o?

If you do it properly, yes.

Im a U-15 ref and I consider myself to be pretty fair. In every league, there is a Head Ref. and he is always a really fair guy who will hear you out. Tell the ref at the game to shove his thumb up his ass and then go talk to the head ref and bring support. The ref at the game will most definetly be in trouble then.

Do it from the back, and your fucked.

We have no head referee, just these biased assholes who the SFA employ.

American System of referees > your system

Obviously, if my brother's team are getting beat 6-0 because of a biased referee

Petrol bomb his house tbfh.

Shame I don't know where he lives. Russell, fetch me the UDA!

Ah yes! Got 'em on speed dial. :laugh:

Hm, the UDA won't be enough. Get me every northern irish group you know!

oooh, UDA, UVF, UFF, YCV, that's all for the loyalists atm. If you want republican groups that's a bit harder, apparently they are gone, cough!

What, no more IRA? This calls for the Middle East!

You can tackle people in soccer?
o.O

EDIT:
Okay I read the above post but wow I never knew that. xD Maybe he shouldn't have been tackling people in the first place then.
but maybe that teams just a bunch of rich kids who are able to pay off the ref for every game.
Also you didn't mention who won.

Well considering the fact that you need to get the ball in soccer, tacling is one of the most effective ways. If you know how to tackle fairly and cleanly, then you are immediately a monster at soccer because your percentage of possession immediately goes up.

Best thing is to be agile and fast though, reduces the chances you'll get cards and if you intercept a ball, you can immediately make a move whereas if you made a sliding tackle you'll have to get up first.
