Morning all,
I recently had a game. Young lads, top of their league clash and full of confidence.
Very difficult to manage. The boys immediately started back chatting everything and just generally making my life as difficult as possible from the start. Players constantly shouting behind my back 'refs against us lads' and parents chirping I'm too.
During a free kick outside the box for a blatant push/elbow in the back, a lad shouted to me the decision was a shambles. I was perfectly placed and it was stonewall.
I took him to the side for a quick cool down and a chat. He said for a second time I'm / my decision was a Shambles. Then a third time the words shambles left his mouth.
I sin binned him, after repeatedly warning him. As he walked off he mumbled, fairly loudly, sin binned because the ref is a shambles.
I called him back and sent him off, straight red. In my head just straight up, character assassination.
At the end of the game the coach of the offending lads respectfully had a chat with me. I made a decision that the straight red could potentially have been over kill, big suspension and big fine etc... So agreed to remove it.
I replaced it with a second sin bin, this wasn't agreed with the manager, just I believe was the right decision.
Have a screwed up. Can I do this? Would anyone have given a red in that situation. Was a red justifiable. Can I alter my report on reflection.
Be kind to me!
