Last night we went to a 'Football presentation evening' at Oxford's Kassam stadium bacause the Lads U12 team got promotion to the A league. There were about 12 teams to recieve trophies from local worthies etc, official photographer and an MC, the Chairman of the league to walk us through proceedings. Oxford Mail the sponsors of the league were there, the trophies were a donation from a local sports shop and Junior and senior Refs were there to recieve awards and recognition as well.
All pretty straightforward stuff, celebrate kids success. Good stuff.
But at the rear of the room were a load of 'parents' standing who simply would not shut-up despite several pleasant and later direct requests for them to respect (a much over-used and under-understood word in football) the players for whom this should be a celebration. Frankly I left disgusted by peoples behaviour. It was 1 hour long, surely they could keep their bloody mouths shut for that long?
This certainly did not occur at a much larger gathering for the Athletics club recently.
Another event which served to further fuel my disdain of the 'football' world ....
Appalling.
