After a couple more incidents, I asked if any of the parents on the sideline would be kind enough to relieve the current score keeper. One was nice enough to agree to help.

The old score keeper gets out of his chair and starts heading over to sit down to watch the game. But he blurts out something to the effect of "If you thought I was making comments before, wait till you hear me now." At which point I gave him the boot.

Not sure if this was handled the best, but it sure made the rest of the game easier.

I'd've run him too. Good job.
