I was wondering what everybody thought about what I saw last night.
Watching a local game last night in the West Midlands Regional league so the match had 3 officials.. Home manager getting very aggressive towards all 3 officials after not agreeing with some decisions going against them..
Play goes into the bottom LH corner and the linesman flags for a foul against the home/attacking side. As the referee trots back up to his position for the restart the Mangers pipes up "what the ********* was that for ref". And to my surprise the referee replies " I don't know (name) the linesman flagged for that I didn't see anything, you'll have to ask him".
I thought this was kind of stitching him up a bit and allowing him to be hassled when he came back up towards the half way line.
Basically my question is would you have said you'd seen the foul and stuck
together trying to take the shine away for the less senior linesman or how could you have worded it differently.
