I used to look after games, think it is just human nature. You just have to be ready to chuckle at some of the ridiculous comments that are made. Official match reports are generally OK, but when you go into the murky world of social media you don't want to be looking at it unless you are strong willed.
The problem is any comments are almost always made with no knowledge of refereeing. This one was from without doubt one of my worst ever refereeing performances, I'll hold my hands up to that, but the very reason I was being fussy is it was a local derby and they were kicking lumps out of each other. Don't really think any referee would have took the reigns off in that game as would have been just too dangerous, but the people writing the match report don't understand that. I would argue that the game would have had more than an edge of I'd took a back seat, but obviously people don't understand that thought process.
The game had increasingly developed an edge, not helped by fussy referee RustyRef.
