The FA Respect Campaign: Two Rays

To dramatise the damage done by over zealous, aggressive parents at kids soccer matches Contentment Worldwide created this spot. Written specifically for Ray Winstone we don't think there's another actor on earth that could have nailed it

This is fantastic! I don't know why people lose their sense of decency when on the sideline. In my experience, if you call the offender aside and ask if they'd like to repeat what they said to your face, they look at their shoes and feel like an absolute prick. People feel that they can get away with totally unacceptable behavior when they are shielded by the anonymity of a crowd. I think that if people would only shout what they would shout were they identifiable, there wouldn't be any issues.

It would be good if all adults involved with any sport viewed this. As a referee I hope I never come across a team like that!

My Dad was a linesman a lot and got shouted at all the time. One time I got subbed coz my Dad called offside and it was me that scored!! So no goal. Thats becouse Dad knows all the rules so the Ref listened to him.

@kronenbourg16641664 my response is up top, thank you

[ChoHorpe]

I agree with your view, and I admit that I have little experience, however my interest lies not in the subject but with the sub text of the advertisement champaign. Let's say they bring in a law that prevents swearing at matches, and say they call this law the Public Defilement Law. That law could then be used all over, swearing at protests could then come under it, swearing at work. This is how we allow our selves to be binded by more and more laws, we ask for them.

@ChoHorpe your a twat, take it you never heard the managers at sunday league?

we used to have an official ref, once in 5 games if we were lucky. Because of managers like that, this is not even near some of the stuff i heard while playing football at the ages of 14-16.

and this leads to teams providing their own refs, which soon turns to cheating, which happend ALOT from refs of the opposing team.

Youd never take abuse like this at work so why should the refs, good or bad decision.

While I agree that there are many working class uneducated louts like the one potrayed by winstone in this advert, I still think that there are many British referees who do a terrible job. Just look at that idiot who refereed the world cup final and was booed by both sets of fans (even the winners). For me Graham poll was responsible for quite possibly the most boring WC final ever in 2010.
