THERE are people on the pitch, I think it's all over..........
A feature of junior football is ruining the game.

Having watched my son play academy football for the past couple of years, I was not looking forward to the new season watching Sunday league football once again, with aggressive parents and overth
e top coaches.

However, the most frustrating element of watching each game is the idiots that stand on the pitch.

I don't know any other level of the game or any other sport where it seems to be OK for parents and coaches to stand on the pitch.
Watching Sheffield Schoolboys, I expected better, but the attached picture shows that the bad habits have passed to representative football as well.

I urge all junior leagues to introduce technical areas for coaches and referees to be strict and to keep the playing area for players.
