Official Match Report
The referee named, Papazis Simeon, should never be a referee for juniors. He is very arrogant and aggressive to players, coach, team manager and parents all inclusive.Parents and spectators from Spring Hills FC have reported his shocking behaviour to the club's Technical Director. Everybody was appalled by his action of giving a Yellow card, just because the player #13 called out Are you watching Ref? when his teammate #7 was being pushed by the opponent. And then the referee blew the whistle in his ear, and so he said like any normal human being would do Don't blow in my ear. And the referee pulled out a red card and sent him off. We took him off the player area and put him behind the fence so he could be consoled by some of the parents. The referee started yelling at the the parents and to take him out of the soccer compound to the street or else he will stop the game. So I had to leave the ground with him to go and report the case to the Spring Hills FC officials. That's a gesture that lots of eye witnesses found very denigrating.
We would like to request FFV not to ever put this referee for any of our matches in the future, in fact he should be banned from refereeing any junior teams.
