"Why does my son only get 2 minutes of game time"...... Parent asking for opinions on Game time..... My sons team have moved up a division (u10) I pay subs like everyone else, he never misses training, we help out with fundraising and lifts to games etc and give everything to the team and yet on match day my son is lucky to get the last 2 minutes of the game. He's now at an age where he notices and has now started asking me if he's not good enough?

A summary of my son's first game refereeing a game this morning. For reference my son is 15, it was an U9 game and my son has no connection to either clubs. He's been called a "a blatant cheat" "blind" "stupid" "doesn't know what he's doing" In addition he's been spoken to in a manner I can only describe as aggressive and Intimidating for things like giving a throw, allowing a player to re take a foul throw, not giving a penalty when a child tripped on the ball and was not fouled. My son left the pitch today and said this to me in the car, I'm never doing that again, kids were great, adults were absolutely disgusting. No wonder we struggle for refs.
