How should referees address disruptive spectators during a match?

Referees face the important responsibility of maintaining the integrity and flow of the game. When it comes to dealing with disruptive spectators, involving field marshals or security is the most effective course of action. Spectators can sometimes become overly emotional, which may escalate tensions and create an unsafe environment. By enlisting the help of field marshals or security personnel, referees can ensure that these disruptions are handled appropriately and safely, allowing the match to continue without undue interruption or conflict.

Engaging directly with spectators may not be effective, as it could inflame the situation further, and ignoring such disruptions can lead to a negative atmosphere that affects players, officials, and other spectators. Delaying the game until spectators calm down is usually not practical or conducive to maintaining the match's rhythm, and it could also frustrate players and coaches involved in the game.
