30 minutes in defender blue wins a tackle on the edge of his own box starts to run away with the ball white attacker shoved him from behind not hard enough to knock him over / cause injury defender turns kicks attacker across the shins stops game sends defender off for voilent conduct cautions attacker then all hell breaks loose surrounded by blue team and shouts of your a joke your not capable of refereeing shocking decision from blue teams parents .
5 mins to go games at 4-4 both teams getting Petty silly fouls lots of arguing decisions,blue clears the ball from his area with a long punt up field balls travelling a lot faster then me but running to keep up with play white attacker beats blue to the clearance and runs towards goal defender brings down the attacker I blow for a penalty again all hell breaks loose, surround by blue tells them to back away or cautions for dissent will be given I get a shout from the club linesman who’s waving his flag normally with a club linesman I will wave it away but this linesman I’ve had a couple of times a nice guy always fair and unbiased I go over to talk to him he says it occurred on the edge of the box not inside he points towards a mark on the edge of the box as the pitch was muddy due to the rain i then could see the slide mark I reverse my decision and give a direct free kick nobody argues there happy to have a chance on goal ! takes kick defender clears team races away and scores 5-4 and finishes this way .
I always go to the centre to applaud the hand shake ,and shake hands with managers , coaches and players that offer there hand .
Losing team linesman approaches me shouting in my face “ you bottled it ref you bottled it ref , you can’t make a decision then change ,the linesman has had you over and you have fell for it” . Walks away gets bag and leaves .
Thoughts on first offence and how to handle things better next time .
