Absolutely worst evening I've ever had as a referee!
Game doesn't start too well when I get run into as a player rushes in to try and grab the ball - I just stood still to give him a chance to get around me as I had no idea which way he'd go, just bowls me over. It takes just five minutes for the away side to start accusing me of being a cheat, and then there's stupid tackles, a penalty call, players screaming in my face all game, s*** ref this, b****** that, blind ref the other. To top it all off, the game ended with a mass confrontation, and for some reason - I can't explain it - I only booked one player, I can't work out why I didn't get the other, but obviously afterwards the lad who got booked has given me his fifty pence worth as well.
Obviously point number one is to stop being s***, but apart from sorting my own game out, how do you pick yourself off the ground when you've had a miserable run of games? I've got four cup finals in the next nine days and I need to be at my best.
