Ball goes towards goal line, looks like its going for a goal kick. As it gets nearer and nearer, I put my arm out and shout goal kick, and turn to head towards the centre circle.
Unbeknownst to me, the ball has been kept in play, and is off up to the side line.
By which point players start stopping and there's confusion all round.
I just call play on when I realise, and then it goes for a throw.
And that my friends, is why you play to the whistle .
Other than that, had a really good match. U16, 3rd vs bottom, 3rd won 4-2.
Couple of minor handbag flash points, nothing that couldn't be sorted talking to the players at the time and stressing that there was a fine line coming up for me getting my cards out.
After a few weeks out due to weather /personal /work, OA line yesterday that I enjoyed and middle today, I felt much more confident in the middle with being able to watch and call challenges /fouls.
Now trying to decide when I want to step up to OA middle.
