alecetcette plays football for the local girls' under 12s side. she's not one of the more experienced players and is, imo, still learning the game.
anyway, today they had two matches, a 5-2 win and a 1-1 draw. she came on in the second half of the first game but did not play at all in the second.
she was disappointed, the coach apologised for not putting her on, and i explained to her that, at 1-1, the coach was right not to put inexperienced players on just to be 'fair'. she grumbled but i think she understands…
anyway, have i done the right thing? i could have behaved like an arse and demanded of the (female, 21 year old) coach that she played her, what with it costing whatever it is a year, we've driven all this way for 5 minutes' football…
what would you have done?
