I had a big Div 2 cup quarter final match today, with NAR well 1 anyway the other was pulled off for another game.
Anyway Home side second in the league and away side top of the league, having already played once in the league finishing 3-4 to the away side, so I was expecting a good tough game.
Tackles flying in and its getting very heated so in the 18 min a tackle goes in where the player wins the ball and takes the player out, its a free kick all day long, so I hit the whistle and yellow for the tackle, which works a treat as then it was a much easier match to referee.
Then in the second half an incident happens which to looks like handbags, I am happy to get on with the game but my assistant is flagging me over, so I have a chat and he says it was a clear push by the away team player, which cause the whole thing and he felt it was a yellow card. I agree and thank him for his comments and call the player over and caution for the push.
An away team spectator gets on his high horse and starts offering some choice words, I wasn't in the mood for or accepting his foul mouth so I asked him to leave the area of the pitch so we could continue, he at first refused, but I said well I will pick the ball up and we will call it a day then and I will report you for getting the match abandoned. he promptly offered me more choice words and left, with his son in his arms.
The game ends and then my assistant says he wants to report the away team for the abuse he had on the side line. My response was what abuse? I know nothing of this. He then tells me that the player who was came off injured, asked him if he was gay, and asked if he could stick the flag up his a***, and if he was going back to school on Monday and if he had done his homework.
My first reply was why didn't you get me over, I could of dealt with him, to which his reply was well what could you of done?
I know I could of gone over and got his name and got him to leave the area of the pitch, but could I of showed him the red card as he was no longer a player?
Looks like a busy day of report writing now.
