Hi folks,
Just a quick query about an incident that I had in a game recently.
I had a team and their technical area listed the following people;
1. Manager
2. Assistant Manager
3. Physio
4. Kitman
For this particular game, the manager was suspended so his name has been stroked off leaving the assistant manager to be in charge of the technical area. Normally not an issue, but in this instance he was also listed as a substitute. In the second half he then brought himself on as a player, meaning that he was no longer in charge of the technical area.
If my assistant referee then told me an incident had occurred that needed the person in charge of the technical area to be sent away, who would I be sending away? My thoughts would be the Physio as she was the next person down in the list of occupants, but you can't remove a physio. Would I be justified in removing the Kitman or would it be OK to just tell the Physio that they are in charge of the technical area and are going to be reported without actually removing them?
Fortunately it never came to it where I needed to do that, but I did wonder. This team usually has an extra couple of coaches so it wouldn't normally be an issue but the Christmas period meant that both teams were short of players and coaches.
