Odd one this afternoon, U18ladies match, White v Red.
About 10 minutes into second half, with a throw in on the far side to all the speccys and coaches I take my position.
Something catches my eye and I glance over to the far touch line and see red 16 put a coat on, and get in a car (car park is right next to the pitch).
During next passage of play I keep an eye on the car to see it drive off with her in it.
Play unfolds and ball goes out for goal kick.
I stop the restart, quickly count the players, sure enough, 10. (Neither team had any subs - made life easy
).
Head over to the red manager and ask where 16 has gone "oh we knew she'd have to go about now, she has to be somewhere."
I said ok, but told him she didn't have my permission to leave the FOP, so was going to be cautioned. I asked the name and he gave it, but he wasn't happy - I'd already bollocked him for swapping the keeper at half time and been accused of being over efficious for daring to insist a couple of free kicks/throw ins were taken from the correct place.
Anyway, I completed the caution and showed the yellow card, despite the player not being there and having no knowledge of it. I told the coach he could tell the player. Speccys looked bemused to say the least.
I continued to make friends with the away team, cautioning the captain and another defender for very childish dissent and had to stop one kick off after red conceded to tell the red manager while he may disagree with the lack of offside he needed to shut up and not shout across the pitch.
Knob head came across afterwards and asked me not to submit the yellows as 'nobody but me knew what they were for', so he's now also wasn't himself a misconduct report.
Any thoughts?
