Referee/Mentor
Was over my local park yesterday with missus +1 and friends, when i noticed a match about to kick off, whilst t'others went to the children's playthings i gladly sat down to watch some footie (season not starting for another 2 weeks so i assume a friendly).
Good end to end football , couple of near misses all going well ref having a good game until............. blue player running down wing with the ball, yellow player running with him and gets possession of the ball and the blue player grabs his shirt and pulls it ref blows whistle for free kick. Blue player shouts at ref " You didn't see him pull my f****** shirt did you? ya f****** c***".. The referee just waved the player away, not a word/booking or anything..... :-( I saw the whole incident and the yellow player didn't touch him just won the ball fairly.
Needless to say i was astounded that the referee did not take any action against the blue player for the abuse.
