During my game this evening, which I admit I didn't have the best of games but didn't exactly lose control, I had an assistant who was spring happy with his flag. And his was a naturally appointed one.
In the first half I thanked him for about 4 offsides that went up too quickly and the player not going for the ball.
In the 2nd half, he gave a free kick 10 yards from him when I shouted no. Thankfully the ball went out of play at the same moment so I went to have a quick chat just in case he saw something I didn't and he said he saw a pull on the shirt. Ok, I didn't see it but doesn't mean it didn't happen so went with him.
He didn't give any fouls afterwards though which I think this one made him think did he get it right.
However late on he gave an offside which I doubted but he is in line and I'm not. The ball fell to a striker who as soon as he received it, shot and scored. I blew on the whistle and gave the free kick. This caused mass hysteria.
I said to the captain who came and asked why it was chalked off and said it was offside. I said it is a tight angle and he is in line.
When back in changing rooms, he admitted to have got it wrong but didn't want to look foolish out there.
Should I have gone and spoken with him to confirm it as there was a guy the ball passed by who was offside but he didn't even attempt to take it.
Wouldn't have changed the result, it finished 4-0.
Oh, and to top it off, the final minute of the game, player tells me I have had a shocker seconds after he was tackled.
I said no, it was a good tackle.
He said I've not watched the same game as him then and said I was "****ing awful". I said to him " my advice is to be quiet, we have less than a minute to go". He replied "there's nothing stopping me saying what I want" so I said "oh isn't there, how about a caution for dissent if you dont be quiet". He then said "go on then".
Well, if you really want one....
Yellow for dissent.
Thank you muchly.
