The Ref Stop

A cheat by any other name

SM

The avuncular one
During a hard fought lower league game, green were leading by a couple of goals but blue are coming back strong in the second half and clawing their way back into it. green conceded a corner. Green player turns and loudly shouts "how much are they fudging paying you then ref?" It wasnt fudging he said of course :)

As I call him over, he gives more attitude. He gets a red for OFFINABUS - call me, or imply I am a cheat and off you go.

Was curious to know what others think about this?

In 3 seasons this is the second red handed out for such a statement. The first called me a cheating c@nt, so a bit different.
 
The Ref Stop
Good strong decision. But make sure you include not only the original offence but also whatever dissent he gave you while you called him over. Then there will definitely be no way out.
