The avuncular one
Red vs Blue - cup game
Simple careless foul by blue in the first half. Blue captain decides to shout out from about 40 yards away "fluff off that's a foul ref!" Not aggressive in any way, just loud. Lots of laughs from the small crowd as I call him over, caution administered. I admit I was stifling a laugh myself.
Second half. I am working with CARs and Red teams own CAR did not flag to indicate the ball had crossed the goal line for what would have been a goal kick for his team - when I look across he is right there on the corner flag - nothing. I have lots of players in my line of sight but it looks like the ball is still in play. Blue player pulls the ball back across the 6 yard area, nice run onto the ball, goal. Captain of Reds decides to argue the point as we take position for the kick off and is just crossing the threshold for a dissent caution when he adds "you're a fluffling d!ck!" *(*words changed to protect little eye ears). Change my mind and go with a red card for OFFINABUS instead of a dissent caution.
Red team cannot accept this as what their captain did is apparently the same as what the blue captain did in their minds. Tried to explain the subtle but important difference, but its wasted on them. Reds lost. Probably going to erect a statue in my honour in the middle of their town...
