Right basically I've just started adult football and it was my second game, it had been all pushes and shoves in the back all game between whites and reds, fair to say the whites felt I was unconsistent in the decisions I made all game and they were seriously getting on my back.
The second half is calm as I pulled myself together but the scores 6-1 to reds with 10 mins left when a player from the whites put in a fair tackle on the red and slightly caught his ankle. BUT as I turned my back to follow the play I hear a loud thud with all spectators on the line gasp in disbelief, I turn around to see a red player standing over the player who just caught his ankle and then walk of with face like thunder.
I knew he had just kicked out commiting violent conduct but I hadn't physically seen it, but if I didn't send him off I would of been a dead man as I'm the only one who NEVER saw it. I sent the player off to which he admitted he kicked out at the end of the game when I had a chat with him but he knew I never saw it so that's why he done it.... Was it the right decision for issuing a red for something I never saw but knew had happened?
