Good kids off the field but on the field lot's of fouls that i would be annoyed by on the other team.
We now average over 1 yellow card a game from one of the two along with another kid that is encouraged by the actions. Mostly persistent fouling (late and unnecessary) and talking back from the ref. We are now 12 games into the season and the coach hasn't done anything to correct the behavior.
Do you say anything to the coach or is it expected that yellow cards become regular parts of the game as they get older.

Feeling like I did nothing wrong here, but willing to listen to the crowd.
10u game, ref is probably mid 40s just like me. Turf field, playing fast so the ball is going out a lot. Just like every other game, whenever the ball goes out I just kinda point the direction that i think it'd go. No words, not even a big point just a finger and thumb down at my side. One of the other dads that I stand with does pretty much the same thing.
Several times ref and I disagreed and I said not a single word or action his direction. No one had yelled a single thing at this guy, not a word from parents, kids, or coaches.
After about 15 minutes, this guy screams at the other dad and I "I'LL CALL THE GAME, YOU STOP POINTING"
