Been assigned a match on Saturday Mornjng, first v second in Division one. However, both are notorious for 'bad behavior' shall we say. I've also been on the receiving end of abuse from a couple of the teams members when I was in town on a night out, and refereed them after this incident and continued to get abuse from particular players (they were red carded for this)! The reason for this .... they don't like a couple of my friends so I'm targeted by association.
How would you approach this game? If I'm honest, I'm dreading it and considered asking for a chance of fixture, but on the other hand I don't want to be 'that ref' to the RDO, I want to show I can be relied upon and don't just bottle matches due to past experiences.
