I reffed an U18 game today and dished out 2 Sin bin yellows and a yellow for SPA all for away team. I took the three names given to me but only after the match did I realise 2 of the names given aren’t on the team sheet I was given (Unusually I was given a team sheet)
Would you
1, contact the coach and let him know of his players silliness and give him the opportunity to fess up the names
2, report the names given
If I went with option 2 would I just enter the names and hope the CFA spot the discrepancy or would I need to give them some sort of heads up via a misconduct report or other method?
The caution for SPA went
“Player over here pls”
“Name”
“Steven Gerrard” (yes I know lol)
I raised an ibrow and said
“You better not be sh#%ing me”
His reaction and the look on his face at even the suggestion he was lying was convincing so I took it (thinking it is actually possible)
