My son who has adhd got sent off in an auskick game last year because he complained about being tackled which isn't allowed. He was upset and ran out of the whole reserve, guess who had to chase him lol? Thanks umpire.
This year he's playing basketball, loves it. Football sux which is a shame as he is good.
That's not good.
I'm glad that he likes basketball but it would be nice if he could get back into footy.
The kid my son-in-law sent off was generally quite pleasant and engaged in polite conversations with the umpires. However, he punched another kid after a good tackle and repeatedly questioned umpires' decisions that went against him. When he came back onto the ground, he accused a goal umpire of cheating for correctly paying a goal. His coach thanked my son-in-law for sending him off and wished more umpires would do the same. Of course, the umpires are just parents with no formal training or umpiring expertise.
