When I watch kids games I see there are a crazy amount of late hits after the ball has gone and referees seem to ignore it. I understand the advantage rule but some of these incidents are reckless and someone will get injured. When I see pro soccer on TV it seems refs are hot on this and give out cards for this type of contact off the ball. Why is it a different rule when kids play?

But even when they do see it, the younger the kids are the more likely the contact will be ignored because the assumption is that it was more the result of the kid just not being in control of his body than it was a purposeful foul.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostContact after the ball is released is often ignored simply because the referee didn't see it. The ref's eyes are going to follow the ball, not stay on the player who just made the pass. In the pro's the AR's will then make the call if they see it but at the youth level the AR's barely call off-side properly, forget about them making foul calls.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostA referee told our coach today that getting hit after the ball has been played is not a foul as it’s not near the play.
One of our teams had an equally baffling call this past weekend. Had a goal on a free kick nullified because an offensive player "blocked the vision" of the goalkeeper.

If he wasn't in an off-side position, then that's a stupid call.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is one of many reasons why games like soccer and basketball are not real sports....as the rules for these "games" are discretionary!!!!
Hockey will look to "intent" on high (or too low) hits
Baseball...heck...every pitch is called based on the umpire and it changes with every one of them.
Nice try, but you blew that one quite badly.

HOCKEY = Game
Baseball = Game
You are entering a league way above your ability of comprehension.
In a real Sport like Track & Field the best athletes are determined by who crosses the finish line 1st, without discretion, with no argument, it is what it is. In Track & Field you earn your placement.
Now lets take soccer, referees discretion on rules? many times the better teams lose on BS calls, many times really good kids don't get selected to play on high level teams because of a coaches discretion and/or personality conflicts!!!!?????....total BS.
Many, many times and lets think deeply on this....What makes soccer exciting is to see what call the referee is going to make and often times blow the game.....too many discrestionary calls, too much political BS involved with football, soccer, basketball and baseball to be considered a real sport!!!!....it is however a most beautiful game as a very famous futballer once said

I am trying to put an end to what will be a long drawn out trolling session by the guy with the 9 year old pugilist; please don't bite, it gets boring quick.
