The Unfit one!
U12 round robin tournament yesterday. Reds vs blues and blues are winning 1-0, very tight game. Lots of chit chat and 'hows that a foul' mainly from blues as reds were turning the screw on their attacks. Freekick right on the edge for a blatent late challenge to which most of the blues argued with to (mainly keeper) couldve yellowed a few but nah, last 45s in a friendly lets not. Gets smashed into the roof of the net, i get the book out to note the goal and in the top of my peripheral vision i see the GK kicking the ball out to the half way for restart and as he's mid swing i turn to start walking up there and i get hit with the ball to the back of the head, i turn back around to say becareful as im 6ft2 so not a hard target to hit and hes there laughing and celebrating with arm pumps. Trotted over, his celebrations still going wild, tried talking to him to explain what I was going to do, wasnt listening, just laughing over me, so skipped the talking part, pulled out the red, the smile dissappeared, the laughing turned to 'oh what for', violent conduct sunshine. Cue parents 'oh come on in a friendly round robin? F***ing jobsworth, f*** sake ref'. The keeper protesting 'but I...' 'it wasnt meant' 'it hit another player first'. I just told him to leave the pitch until he did. Still 20s on clock which blues wasted by moaning so as they were about to put the ball down to kick off, the watch bleeped and game over.
Deary me :/
