Today was a League match. U18 Red vs Orange, (refereed orange last week, sent orange player off) So orange player #7 i sent off last week playing today, so i am expecting maybe something so how long? Orange much stronger and quicker and go 2-0 up in five minutes, red fight back, score a goal and go into the break 1-2 down. Game going well orange race into 4-1 lead and for some reason the orange team although winning and completely outplaying the reds start to appeal for everything and argue amongst themselves. Then orange #7 kicks off shouting and whingingat his team mates about not getting the ball i ask him to calm down and he just totally ignores me.
Getting abuse now from his assistant coach, appealing for everything and i ask him to calm down.
Five minutes to go and orange #7 gets tackled loses the ball and turns to me and says "that was a f****** foul, where's my f****** free kick, you useless f****** c***" Well straight red for him (second week on the trot) as he's walking off every other word is f*** and now the assistant coach kicks off, top of his voice lots of swearing and abuse so i send him to the car park. I approach the team manager and ask for his colleague's name and i discover its the orange #7 father........ says it all really. So i walk to the changing rooms and find the home manager shouting at the sent off orange #7 and another team mate... it seems the home manager went to their changing room to congratulate them on their win( nothing wrong with that i thought) but the orange player threatening to punch his lights out.
I calm everything down, take the home manager into my dressing room to calm him down and say to him to put in a report.
I then decide to wait outside the changing rooms to make sure nothing flares up, all the away team/parents etc leave.... peace is restored..... so i leave.....
Reports sent in, and i am looking forward to my Sunday roast..............
