After giving an offside, a player decides to boot the ball some 25 yards across the pitch (in obvious frustration). I call player over to issue caution (never know why a player does such a stupid thing anyway?!) to which his team-mate kindly informs he has "hearing problems" and didn't hear my whistle. Now erring on the side of caution I appreciate that on the off occasion if a player did have hearing problems this may be an issue but the fact he kicked the ball in such a frustrated way I highly doubt the story anyway...
Just wondering if anyone else has had anything similar as an excuse?
