A few things from yesterday’s game, just wondering how you’d deal with them. Although I do understand, they are more YHTBT moments
- First, a ‘handball goal’. Similar to Boly against City (something I was dreading happening in one of my games). Game at 2-2, Ball gets drilled across the six yard box along the ground. Attacker at the far post slides in, ball skips up off the ground about a yard away from him, hits his hand and subsequently goes in. I gave the goal as I believed it was accidental, he was going to score if it hadn’t had skipped up, just one of those things! However, impossible to persuade the defending team thag
- First indirect free kick in the box for a pass back I’ve ever given. Long ball into the box, keeper screams his name and attempts to claim it and drops the ball. He then shouts ‘keepers!’ again, Defender puts his foot on top of the ball and the keeper picks it up. Although technically no ‘pass’, I felt this this was a pass back as the defender stopped it with his foot for the keeper. YHTBT I assume but another which was a hard sell for the defending team.
- Finally, a missed stamp. Perfectly fine sliding tackle goes in, no arguments from anyone. I progress up the field and look back to see the player who committed the challenging rolling around on the floor holding his ankle. Nobody but him makes an argument about a stamp, until he gets to his feet and tells me to keep an eye. After the game, the other player comes up to me and says ‘I apologise ref, I did stamp on him out of frustration, it was completely out of character’. New one on me, somebody admitting something like that. Is there any punishment I could take at this point? I did nothing as the moment had gone and didn’t think there was .... any advice would be good
