Remember that children play for FUN
Applaud effort and good play as well as success
Always respect the match officials’ decisions

Designated Spectators’ Area (where provided)
Let the coach do their job and not confuse the players by
telling them what to do
Encourage the players to respect the opposition, referee
and match officials
Avoid criticising a player for making a mistake –
mistakes are part of learning
Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting, or
abusive language or behaviour.

A Sunday league footballer from Merseyside who drove his car at a referee has been jailed for 24 weeks.
Joseph Rimmer, 28, drove his 4x4 on to the pitch, causing referee David Harkness and football players to run for their lives,
Liverpool Crown Court was told.
Rimmer, of Satinwood Crescent, Melling, Merseyside, reacted with fury as he was about to be shown the red card during a match
between Rimmer's team Lonsdale and local rivals Harrington at Portland Street playing fields in Southport on Sunday February 14.
Mr Jones said: "After about an hour the defendant claimed to the referee that he had been fouled but Mr Harkness waved play on.
The defendant then showed dissent by swearing at the referee who awarded a free kick against him."
Rimmer continued to hurl abuse at Mr Harkness, the court was told, and the referee reached to his pocket to book the player.
Rimmer, a fitness instructor and nightclub doorman, threatened him: "If you book me or send me off, you know what will happen."
Mr Harkness took that as a threat, Mr Jones said. "But before he could be shown the red card, the defendant stated, 'I'm going to
run you down', then walked off the pitch," the barrister added.
"He then walked across a neighbouring pitch as another game was going on. When players shouted to the defendant to get off the
pitch, he told them, 'Watch me run the f****** ref over'. He went over to his Range Rover and drove toward the pitch." Rimmer's
car came to within five yards of Mr Harkness, the court was told. The referee and the players managed to get out of the way of the
vehicle.
Witnesses statements read to the court said people reacted with "panic and fear" and some had to run or arch their backs to get
out of the way of Rimmer's car. When the defendant came to a stop, he got out of the car and made a gun shape with his hand,
shouting towards Mr Harkness: "I'm going to shoot you." The matter was reported to police and Rimmer later voluntarily attended a
police station where he admitted being the driver of the 4x4.
In his victim impact statement, read to the court by Mr Jones, Mr Harkness said he feared he would be killed. It went on: "I am
frightened of retribution at my home or against my family. After 35 years I now fear I cannot continue as a referee. I have not
slept through fear that the defendant will find out where I live and carry out his threat to shoot me."
Rimmer pleaded guilty to affray at an earlier hearing. The prosecution offered no evidence on a separate charge of dangerous
driving and a not guilty verdict was formally recorded. Rimmer was jailed for 24 weeks for affray and banned from driving for 12
months.
