Had a strange one today which have never come across before.
Boring U15s division 2 game. Green team are beating red home team 4-0 within 20 minutes and everything is fine, the green team manager is running the line for his team, he is wearing a scarf around his face because its that cold so I cant really see or hear what he is saying. A red team player comes over to me to say that the manager is saying nasty things to him like you guys are sh** cos you are losing 4-0 so Im like ok I will have a word with him at HT as I didnt hear anything, The manager comes to me first and says that the player is calling him a cheat for missing a few incidents that I couldn't see, like ball in and out of play as he hasn't kept up with play. I just left it at for a while and decided to listen out more when these 2 were near each other and 10 minutes towards the end I heard this manager say this twice that this team is sh** and that you are sh** towards that player.
Thats where my predicament lies, the game pans out into a 6-2 win for the greens but I didnt want to bring any attention to it as if I did the manager would have caused a big issue and the game would have ended in a bit more of a heated situation hence the reason I left it and everything was fine at the end.
Was I wrong in doing nothing or if I did do something is that the better situation?
