The Essex County FA are
asking all clubs to review the behaviour of their
players, staff and spectators after a local Parish
Council recently announced that they may close a
football facility due to bad language on and off the
field of play. |
|
|
|
|
|
The misconduct of players and spectators at a public
playing field has caused upset amongst local residents
with the incident even making headlines on BBC Essex.
|
|

|
|
Essex County FA Chairman, Mike Game, commented:
|
|
|
"I am hoping that we can
eliminate this unacceptable behaviour from our game as we
cannot allow the situation to deteriorate any further.
|
|
|
"We appreciate that some
situations are the result of frustrations and there is
today a culture where more tolerance is shown to abusive
language.
|
|
|
"However, the Laws of
Association Football do prohibit such language which is
upsetting for many and distracts from the enjoyment that
the game should give to all who take part or watch."
|
|
|
|
|
|
All clubs affiliated to the Essex County FA have been sent
a letter on the subject with referees also notified of the
situation.
Clubs are also reminded that they are responsible for the
behaviour of both their members and spectators.
