Animals. Sounds like a collar or two will be felt with a bit of luck. |  |

It's a football match FFS.
What is the matter with some people? |  |

A team mate of mine was left hospitalized with a fractured skull in a Sunday league game 25+ years ago - I wasn't playing due to injury. As a goalkeeper he had claimed the ball, in a bad tempered game, and while he was on the ground holding the ball the centre forward toe punted him in the side of the head - CF fled the scene, cue ambulance, police etc.
Guy was on parole, went back inside, my friend never played football again.
I never played Sunday league again after this, played Saturday but that was at a decent amateur level where players took the game more seriously and weren't hungover / lookinmg for a fight. |  | | |

I played in the Reading Sunday League (premier division) some time ago.
It was a bizarre mix of very good teams and teams that were just there to out-thug everyone. I'm talking serious high tackles, elbows of the ball, even a right hook if they thought the ref wasn't watching. Was always more difficult trying to get a squad to be available to play the latter type of team.
One team in particular were awful, a pub-sponsored team from the south of the town (who I won't name). I still get shivers from their antics. The poor refs officiating their games always had a nightmare. |  | | |

Even in over 45s, there's a surprising amount of this stuff - not loads and far less than younger age groups, but enough to shock.
I just wish these cowards would go do boxing or MMA if they want to fight and leave the bods who want to kick a ball around field alone. |  |

I played local football for a lot of years. Sunday was always more difficult club linesman. Although I put tackles about it was the way it was or get swallowed up. Not once did I hit anyone off the ball , Spit it was always face on and the ball in the vicinity to win. |  | | |

Good man. Being a club linesman is the worst job in amateur footy: you can never please anyone / everyone hates you! | |
