Been there and seen it. My son stopped playing last year at 16 as he was fed up of lads just looking to fight all the time
Last season he had a parent try to slap him as he ran down the line my lad turned round and dropped him in front off every body. It’s not a nice thing to see. Bloke must have been gutted taking a slap from a 15yr old lad in front of his kids.
When the ref stopped play the bloke said he wanted the police lol when they turned up the ref told them he seen the bloke hit out at my lad and he got told to leave and not come back.
The scary thing is he was playing in open age team before he stopped and blokes pissed up from local pub teams were just as bad.
