Set the scene:
Sunny Sunday its 12:30 KO and I am one of AR for U16 match, stationed on dugout side. Throughout the match away manger stood outside technical area in my running path, told to move. Even as one point bumped in assistant manager as I was watching play and not that someone was in my way. Complained to 4th official at half time, they kept telling them throughout the match to move.
Incident:
Last 5 minutes of play one of subs stood in my running path with his foot on the touchline, I am fed up and tell him to move whilst motioning with arm. In response gets called a 'daft c*nt'. I motion to ref and then he got [booked]red* for OFFINABUS.
In the end his team lost 2-1, first half close not second. Do not know why he felt like he could use that language or why such young players use it. And that was how I saw my first red card in a match. Quick note afterwards got a well done from 4th official and from referee development officer another well done. At another level won't have felt so inked by it by I was already annoyed by his team throughout the match.
edit* got booked and sent off mixed off, sorry if I came off defensive
