A referee under the age of 18 has received several insults after finishing refereeing a soccer match between children in Teguise. Specifically, the events took place last Saturday, May 4 at 9:30 in the morning, at the Costa Teguise municipal field.
The Preferential League match in the Alevín category, with players between 10 and 11 years old, was between the clubs of Palmeiros de Costa Teguise A. U.D. and Tinajo A C.D.
The referee noted the incident in the referee's report to which La Voz has had access, in this case she recorded that the visiting public of Tinajo A uttered insults such as "clown", "idiot", "son of a bitch", "you should be ashamed of how bad you are", as well as threats such as "come here and I'm going to give you a beating" or "I'll wait for you to come and I'll give you two slaps, clown"
There were eight minors playing for each team and six substitutes between the two clubs. In addition, the referee had cautioned two players from Tinajo A C.D. for tripping an opponent "in a reckless manner" and another for "arguing" with an opponent "without resorting to insults or threats." The match ended with the victory of the local team, Palmeiros de Costa Teguise A, with five goals, against the visitor Tinajo A with four goals.
The coordinator of Tinajo CD, Alejandro Brieba, has assured this editorial team that the club has apologized to the referee for this situation and has indicated that they have already met with the parents to address these behaviors. In addition, he has reported that they will take measures to prevent this from happening again, although among them, they will not prohibit the entry to the field of those who caused the insults because it is "a public field", they have assured from the club.
