U16s KO Cup Final betw2een Whites and Blues. Whites are known for iffy behaviour anyway. Game starts off really well, end to end and Blues go 1 nil up.
About 17 minutes in, Whites appeal for a corner but I give a GK as I wasn't sure who got the last touch. Cue Whites striker saying "you must be blind ref!". Thank you, here is your yellow card!
Whites equalize shortly after before Blues go back in front with a fantastic shot.
Whites go on the offensive for the last 10 of the half and their Central Midfielder beats 2 players then goes to the floor. He is screaming for a penalty but I give an IDFK for simulation as I believe he initiated the contact(similar to Vardy v Wet Spam).
HT Blues 2-1 Whites
Second half starts and Whites equalize after about 10 minutes. A few minutes later another Whites player picks up a caution for dissent
Game goes quiet for a bit but then it all starts getting heated. This started with the Whites manager kicks the ball whilst it os on play near the touchline to stop a Blues counter attack. I didn't see this but my NAR did and on his advice, I removed the manager from the technical area. A 4th Whites player gets booked for a reckless tackle soon after. Whites score the winner with a beautiful FK into the top corner.
FT Blues 2-3 Whites
Now, it gets a bit interesting. The manager who I sent off then jumps the barrier to celebrate and to collect his winners medal. I approach him with a League officer and we tell him he is not allowed to collect his medal but will recieve one later. He grumbles off and says he will remember that.
When I return to my NARs, a blues player decides to volley a tirade of dissent my way. As I am cautioning, he continues his volley and I show him a yellow card for the first lot of dissent and then another followed by a red card for the second lot of dissent. Cue cheers from White spectators.
As I collect my trophy, I get boos from a portion of spectators who are pronptly told to shut up.
After the game and we are back in the dressing room, a refereeing mate of mine who was watching stands outside as he heard the Whites manager who I sent off make threatening comments about what he will do. Me and my team got told by the Ref Sec and our referee coach (who is a Level 4) that we absolutely smashed it and that I had a "****ing blinder". Suffice to say I was well chuffed!
