So, after my post a few weeks back where I had a torrid time, followed up by my game last week which went better, today's one I made a **** up but admitted my mistake before restart and rectified which was praised all round.
Game had 6 yellows in the end, mostly for persistent fouling. 3 each.
Both teams had numbers 3 and 8 cautioned.
But it was number 8 for the away side I ****ed up on. When I cautioned the home player, I wrote his shirt number and name in book under the away teams name. When the away player made a foul later in the game (my 5th caution), I opened book, saw the shirt number 8 in the away side of my book, and took it that I'd already cautioned him. I showed the yellow followed by a red card.
He protested his innocence as number 8 of the home side came to me and said I got it wrong.
I realised straight away when the home one came to me that id just embarrassed myself in that error, took the away players name and he walked away. But because I had already shown him a red card, I called him back and said I'm going through formalities here and showed the red card to him whilst "cutting the grass" to indicate its been cancelled but reminded him I had shown him the yellow when I showed the red and that the yellow still stands.
I hope I done this correctly by the way.
Both teams came to me at the end praising me and even said I had balls to correct that error and some said others may not have and stood their ground. One of the players I cautioned earlier in the game said he respected me more for that error saying we're all human.
