Thanks James, really appreciate the advice! A lot less worried now :)

I know! I sent off an assistant manager in my first game so I wouldn't have had a problem with taking the appropriate action...their manager said he was going to complain about me which I'm a bit worried about, despite the other manager saying I didn't put a foot wrong and that he was going to...

I'm not sure whether I want to report it to the league, I didn't take offence to it and the way I see it, if he wants to yell at me in Polish then he's more than welcome to.
