Metro Souness in effing rant at kids' football match Friday, March 20, 2009 Former Liverpool and Newcastle manager Graeme Souness could face a touchline ban after launching a foul-louthed rant at the coach of an under-10s team. Souness, 55, was watching his son James playing for Hale in the Stockport Metro League when he took exception to a tackle from a Bramhall North player. When the opposition coach refused to reprimand the youngster, Souness lost his cool. 'Souness marched across the pitch and asked where the f***ing Bramhall coach was,' Bramhall club scretary Mike Frayne said. 'People were shocked, I'll be reporting Souness to the league and the Cheshire FA will take a dim view. This guy should know better.' The former Scotland star admitted confronting the coach, but defended his actions, and insists he apologised for his language. 'My son took the ball off a kid and the kid lashed out,' he explained. 'I waited 90 seconds for the coach to take the lad off - but nothing happened. 'I said to him "what the f*** are you teaching kids?". 'I did swear. I hold my hands up. But I apologised when I saw a woman present.' The incident comes just days after former England striker Chris Sutton was reported for misconduct after walking on to the pitch to confront a referee during an under-14s game involving his son. www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/article.html?Souness_in_effing_rant_at_kids_football_match&in_article_id=590334&in_page_id=46
