I had a game today that was actually, in truth, a good gsme to ref.
Issues I had was at half time, literally, as I blew for it two players had a little argument and had come together. I thought a chat with them before going to their respective teams to have a cool down was better than getting a card out.
I then, 9 minutes into 2nd half, had the home player of the two who had a coming together at half time run 15 yards to join in "defending" his team mate in what was not even a bad foul (just a free kick in my opinion). Called the home player over and carded him. He showed me a bit of dissent (including ignoring me for starters to a point I blew my whistle a few times) and in this league it is a sin bin. So off he went complete with no complaints from anyone. To me, I think I done right, but would you guys have dealt with it at half time before it happened again?
Then with 20 minutes to go the attacker of the away side, now 2-0 down, starts moaning at every time he loses the ball saying he been kicked or fouled in some other way. I ignored him most of the time but on one occasion I told him to stop as he was starting to overstep the boundary.
However with 5 minutes to go he goes down few yards in front of me and complains he was kicked (I saw no one kicking him, just someone besting him to the ball and he falling down). Whilst down he then starts shouting swear words, if not every word it was every other word. A player told him to be quiet and he shouts "****ing **** ****". I am not to sure if aimed at him or not but by now it was confirmed in my head that it was a sending off offence. Regardless of location normally, we were next to a playground with plenty of kids about with him shouting. He went off injured, but still showed the red.
His dad was furious and shouted, which ignored but had heard, he wants to speak with me after the game. End of game came and he came to me. I realised it wasn't the coach who asked and said I am not going to discuss anything. He then swore at me. I walked away before I could get into an argument with him myself.
Would you have taken leniency with the injured player for his outbursts of swearing or did I do right?
