The OP posted what happened to them in a game they refereed.
Is it not possible that other referees actions, or lack of, may have caused them a problem?
A lot of posters on here spend their life criticising others on here. so why your outrage about this criticism?
You also know that some refs are either not able to administer the LOTG or they play for clubs marks. Let's be honest here instead of painting the OP as being wrong.
I got a stat a while back that 70% of active refs in my old county showed no cards in a whole season. What's going on?
