I am currently in Portugal refereeing at the IberCup Estoril.
Yesterday morning I was a NAR as part of a 4 man team refereeing a French side against a Portuguese side.
The manager of the French team was whinging the whole game about various decisions, notably the offside calls from myself and the other NAR.
His team lost 1-0 and he comes up to us after the game saying that the pitchside volunteers all say one offsode given by the other NAR was a very bad decision. We respond by saying that for all intents and purposes, their opinion is irrelevant. We also noticed a camera in the main stand and told him we could show him the footage to further clarify and he just walked off muttering in French.
Some people!
