The game ended when the other coach pulled his team off the field losing by 7-0 when he discovered the ousted player had come back in. Under league rules, I had no power to declare a forfeit. The only thing I could do was report the incident to the league and let them rule on it, which they did - 1-0 for the innocent team. I could control the coaches but not the parents who screamed in my face - not all of course, just a few, most of whom were high-powered financial guys who worked on Wall St. Real Type A's. Most of their kids were the troublemakers too. Playing rough, tripping other kids, etc. The few foreign coaches would frequently bait me but I just grinned and shook my head. They knew the rules and what they could get away with and they respected my decisions. Most of the parent-coaches were less trouble on the field but didn't know the rules and I had to explain to them frequently about offsides and advantage. I started with 8 and 10 year olds and was soon promoted to 15 & 16 year-old travel games. The little kids were easy. They all ran after the ball and most of them messed up their throw-ins. Like you say, the teen agers were tough and a lot of work for a (then) 52-year old running up and down the field for two games in a row. After one game, one of the fathers who I knew came up to me and said "I didn't know your middle name was M#@#@er F#@#@er". I hope you haven't encountered that kind of abuse.
