Dissent Tolerance Level

[Joserra]

Hi fellow refs.

I am a Level 5 referee in the South East of England. I was reffing a Grassroot football game this afternoon for my local FA.

After the ball had gone out of play a defender close to me was complaining about what he claimed as a foul that I had not given just instances before.
As I was close to him, 2m or so, I turn around to talk to him, and he shouted at me directly at my face, "You are ****!" Loud enough for the players close to us to hear it.

I would like to ascertain your opinion:

1. Red Card
2. Sin Bin
3. Nothing/Bollecking

Thanks

**** said in my face would be a sin bin for me. But you would be well within your right to send off.

Might depend on what is in the *****! But the “you are” in front of it gets me thinking about red. (Of course, in the WC it’s probably nothing, but that’s not what we’re talking about . . . )
