yellows v greens, greens arrive late so ive had plenty of time for some pre match banter with the home side... and in passing yellow right back informs me hes a referee. During the first half someone calls 'leave it' followed by the usual cry of '' you cant say that ref!'' i'm about to explain that he can but the right back gets in before me, so i think to myself, nice one... i seem to have someone on my side here. First half passes with nothing to report other than 2-1 to the home team.
second half, yellows score twice more and then an offisde is given against them on a counter attack... and for some reason my trusty right back friend starts having a go at the CAR, and i can tell where he's going with it and i warn him mid sentence.... ''dont say it, dont call him a cheat'' and he carries on saying '' but ref, every week we get cheated, every week '' . his team mates tell him to shut up and he does for the time being.
5 minutes later and ive awarded a penalty against yellows, and off he goes again... ''this is a joke, your unreal ".. etc... so i'm calling him over for a caution, he's turning his back on me, trying to walk away, and i had to remind him that as a ref he must surely be familiar with the caution procedure so please follow it.
5 minutes later i'm cautioning yellow striker for kicking the ball away, and right back chirps up again... second caution.
He's then stomping around shouting.. ''i'm not f--king paying it "
anyways , he's gone... another yellow caution follows for USB, and then green pipes up calling the player ive just cautioned a faggot... ive asked his name and he says he hasnt got one. So he's gone for OFFINABUS and then to top it off 2 mins before full time we have green fouling yellow, yellow turns and throws his shoulder into the shorter green players face, who responds with a jumping headbutt.... they're both gone too...
both managers apologise to me after the game for their players behaviour... but the most surprising bit for me was that it was 2 church teams !
