Penalty Kicks Stink
SILVER ELITE
Wanted to get an idea from the experts on how a referee should handle or intervene in a brawl situation.
My DD team recently had a situation where 2 girls starting pushing each other and that turned into punches thrown and benches clearing and a giant dogpile.
The referee of this game was a young kid who basically sat and watched as the two girls began to throw punches and the benches cleared. I know they are not allowd to touch the kids but this guy didnt blow a whistle the AR's were trying to keep the parents off the field who were screaming at the ref to do something. finally the coaches had to break up the fight and then it took the ref about 10 minutes to pull out the red cards fofr both players.
The whole thing could have been avoided if the ref had done something in my opinion.
Just wanted to see from the experts what the protocal should be
