Literally word for word what I said to him. The other bench weren’t bothered in the slightest, and made use of the “time out” . The game didn’t need a caution for the manager.

Yeah I agree, and if it wasn’t an under 16 non-competitive academy game with lots of trialists etc I think I would’ve said something to the referee. Club officials don’t want busy MO’s in these games IMO…

100% didn’t want anything to do with it! Told him next time to wait til I’m at the corner flag to do it rather than the halfway line!

AR1 this morning for an Academy fixture between 2 EFL clubs… one-sided… 1st half… 0-2… home manager moans to his assistants that “nobody knows what they are doing!” Then proceeds to shout to his GK… “go down, pretend to be injured”! First half of a 16s fixture. Dark arts at its finest.. the...

2nd half Drinks break, I’m guessing he forgets to stop watch or make note of stoppage, blows for FT on 85’, restarts and then a soft RC which he upholds despite being told to have a look at the screen, and then he blows for full time before the 90’ is up! Losing teams management lose their...

Don’t think the Ref will be getting a 2nd game in this tournament….. 😬

My Eastern Counties u18 line tonight was postponed due to covid in one of the squads.

In a game last season, I’ve signalled for a GK, CAR signalling for a corner. I umm and ahh, before giving the corner and thanking the CAR for his honesty. Corner comes in, Goal!!!…. I casually jog back for the restart whilst watching the CAR getting pelters from his teammates
