I've written about this issue before but thought it had all gone away.
DS 9 plays for a local football team, 3 of his classmates play for another team in their league. These two team are always in the top three and there is some rivalry, but our manager remains respectful on match day, win or lose, (can't say the same for theirs though).
DS had some issues with these three boys excluding him at school, (had all previously been mates) amongst other things. Things came to a head when all three were very nasty to him and head got involved. DS now avoids these boys at school. Just for the record he is a very placid boy, very mature for his age and will walk away rather than get involved in conflict.
We played them last week and ds scored the winning goal, he's just come back from cub camp and said that one of the other boys from the other team told him that their manager said the following to him, "he didn't know how ds scored the goal because ds was a rubbish footballer"!
I get banter, I really do, but this constant drip drip towards ds is going to ruin his enjoyment of the game and frankly this manager should know better (if he said it).
WIBU to speak with the other manager and ask him directly what was said?
