Hi guys,
I refereed my first opener match yesterday the first half went well without much incident. In the second half I booked a player for dangerous play. 10 minutes later I realised the same player had come off the pitch without letting me know. He had been complaining as his team only had 8 players I subsequently went over and gave him a second caution and red for leaving field of play without my permission. The player argued that he was injured but I saw no sign of injury and he didn't let me know. The manager of that team then walked off in a huff with the red carded player. Do you think I dealt with this situation okay?
