Hi all, just looking for some advice.
I reffed an U14s game today, It was quite a close game, and I feel like I kept control of it well and had a laugh with the players, but also really enjoyed the majority of the game. There were 2 players (one from each team) who were both constantly going at each other, making comments and winding each other. They were both gradually getting more and more feisty and aggressive towards each other and booked them both in a short space of time from each other. Both players took the booking well and cooled off a lot (so it worked quite well). The home manager decided he wasn't happy with this decision and made this very clear. At the end of the game I had a chat with both managers and the away boss understood completely, but the home manager said that I made the wrong decision- he had done the league ref course- and it should have been dissent- despite them never complaining about decisions at all. I felt really undermined and as I walked away the manager said to his players that im just a young ref and it was the wrong decision.
Correct me if I've done anything wrong here, and if anyone had any advice on anything to take from this and anything I could improve, it would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
