CARs. Love 'em
Sunday just gone I had a mildly unpleasant scene with one.
This guy had taken over the flag about 10 minutes into the second half as the original was a substitute and was coming on. 15 minutes later and ive awarded a throw in. Player has both heels on the line, and i'm happy with that...so are the players. The CAR is frantically waving his (my) flag and shouting ''foul throw ref! foul throw ref, he's literally on the pitch''.
My response was ''no, it was a good throw lino".... ball goes out of play and he starts shouting again... lots of expletives.
I asked him politely to give the flag to someone else, with a please and a thank-you... cue more swearing but he did as i asked and the game finished with no further incident, or any mention of what had occurred.
My lesson? When CARs change over, I should take the time to go to him/her and give them the same instructions I gave to the previous one... in this case at the start of the game.
