One thing that really does not belong in the game of soccer is obnoxious hecklers. I am not talking about the people that get overly excited. So the cop did as I asked. My question is, how much tolerance do you other referees have with fans.
High school seems to have a unique brand of fan and situation.
If a spectator on a touchline is interferring you can identify and deal with mono e mono. But when they're up in the stands, it's a little hard to identify them and go up and deal with them. Also hard for coaches and others to get to them. Added to this is more limited authority for HS officials. A USSF referee's authority continues after the game, and well before the game.
