Game Leaders are leaving venues in tears and with no desire to ever pick up a whistle again. This simply goes against everything we stand for as a code and as a community.Following the monthly Referees Meeting on Monday evening, the Macarthur District Football Referees Association (MDFRA) have instructed Game Leaders and Match Officials to ๐š๐›๐š๐ง๐๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ , should they be the subject of inappropriate sideline behaviour. This action has the full support of the MFA. The behaviour from the sideline is creating a negative participant experience for many and is simply not aligned with the culture of our sport. We expect ๐๐Ž ๐‚๐Ž๐Œ๐Œ๐„๐๐“๐’ directed towards Game Leaders and Match Officials from the sideline โ€“ it is as simple as that.Encourage your teams and support the game. Let the players play, let the coaches coach, and let the officials officiate. Do not be the reason why your son or daughterโ€™s game was abandoned.
