Maybe VAR is the answer in junior football. 🤭

World war 3. A few years ago we were playing a team from Aylesbury when it all kicked off. It involved our U12's, we had a boy as tall as me with a very strong build playing. The opposing manager erupted "That boy is not an under12" He then decided to take a photo of the boy so he could check it out with the league. Then it was the turn of our boy's father "You are not allowed to take a photo of my boy! etc.I am no longer surprised at what happens in youth football.

I was taking Photos / Videos of my G Nephew and a few of his Team so I sould give im them later. However Ref came and had a word and then of course it "sank in" that they might think I had different reasons for using the Camera !Anyway the Ref did have his Cards with him yesterday and did show them 3 times. I actually thought the one I saw was a clear hand ball and he was right (just didnt see what caused the first) - but there WAS a clear stamp on G Nephews left back which went unpunished so I guess the Ref did not see that or was not helped by the Lino who was right there 2 yards away but was "attached" to the stamper and not the stampee !
