Am I being OTT?
I’ve reported this to county safeguarding team but I’m unsure if I’m being over zealous as a newly trained ref.
Through an U16 girls game the away manager was shouting a lot of instruction to his players and often, in my opinion, strayed into criticism with comment like “what are you doing” “think about it for god sake” etc.
Then after he subs off a player who had made an error I see him (I’m the other side of the pitch for a throw in) pointing a finger in her face and clearly shouting or speaking sternly whilst doing so. She sat on the sideline looking very distraught for the rest of the game.
Later I hear another away player say “I hope you’re ready to be shouted at” as the game came to a close (5-2 loss). I didn’t hear this shouting but the combination of the three things made me concerned.
Was I being overly cautious?
