Short and sweet - two teams this morning decided I'd piddled on their cornflakes. Even really stupid things like refusing to leave the area for a goal kick. One player I knew I should have binned early on kept on at me. Players refusing to provide surnames so I've had to submit a report that might be incorrect. I had thought I'd noticed a few improvements in my refereeing over the last few months but now I'm thinking of packing the whole thing in - I don't need the money, I certainly don't need the abuse.
Extra-annoyed as I'd had one of these teams before and I had asked the league to send someone to keep an eye on proceedings as I knew they'd be trouble, and I was right. I've already come off for next weekend and I don't think I can be arsed to go back. I seem to keep making the same mistakes in terms of being too lenient, and if I'm not improving then what's the point? The league I officiated on Saturdays has quietly dropped me and isn't answering emails so I assume they've decided I'm too crap for them as well!
Rant over. At least Rushden finally won a game this week.
