Hi guys,
I did an u14 game this weekend, couple of decisions went against away team and they gave up, match ended 7-1. Last 20 minutes was tedious as the losing team stopped caring and just messed around basically but still within LOTG, e.g everyone staying on goal line or just letting the other team score on purpose etc. Their coach who I presume was a one-off stand in coach, didn't say a word all game to his team. Made my job fairly miserable as I really enjoy refereeing a close affair, or even just when the losing team show a bit of fight. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this sort of situation?
Thanks
