Had 2 games today and just sort of reflecting back on some incidents.
First game, player sin-binned within 15 mins for asking me "how much are they paying you ref" after a free-kick decision. Funny thing was I had a league rep come and watch that game and he was like I don't know what they're moaning about.
Caution later on for a reckless challenge, think it was more frustration as they were 10-0 down.
Second game was awful. Felt like the away team had it out for me from minute one for some unknown reason.
CB sin-binned in the 7th minute for shouting that I'm "f***ing sh*t". Home Team score 2 goals while he's in the sin-bin. First goal there were no issues, blamed on me because he's in the sin-bin. Second goal to me isn't a foul. Home player basically wins the ball back inside the 6 yard box, don't think there's a lot of contact if any with the player. Away player almost makes a superman dive to in my opinion to try and win a free-kick but I'm not easily fooled (). Goal given.
Coach sent off in the 15th minute for coming a good 5/10 yards on the pitch and shouting "are we playing against 12 men?". He doesn't leave straight away and it takes I would say a good 20/30 seconds for him to begin to make his way away from the game. Game does begin to calm down a little so I do think the red in some aspects worked.
No dramas until the last couple minutes of the game. Same player calls me "f***ing sh*t" once again after I give such an easy free-kick as well, player shoved in the back. It seemed so blatantly obvious.
As he's walking off, he turns around and calls me a "f***ing idiot". And I'm like that's got a little bit more personal now, so I send him off for offinabus.
Full-Time whistle goes and a massive sigh of relief. Get approached by the other coach who remained without a sanction, looking back he probably too should've been sent off but I think I bottled that a little bit. It happens and I've once again learnt from another hard incident to manage. Coach basically says I ruined the game and he just got cut off by the Home Team coach and just told to basically go away.
I genuinely believe that some coaches have an agenda against young referees, especially in youth football.
Not sure if anyone has any advice for me or tips for dealing with shutting up mouthy coaches?
