The FA is taking action to improve the behaviour of a minority of parents and club officials who're aggressive and abusive at youth football matches. Some young refs are being intimidated and bullied. One match official says he was assaulted at an under-11s game over the weekend. The FA has recorded more than 3,500 incidents of misconduct involving adults at youth matches over the last 15 months.
