Red v Green game going fine and no real issues until the 40th minute. Greens CAR flagged for a offside, the player received the ball on the between the 18 yard line and the penalty spot. I had a credible position and was about 8yards away and could see he was not offside as the Greens RB was playing him on as the ball came down to his feet (ball was headed high by a red attacker). By the time the Green defender pushed up the ball was at the reds feet. Yes he looked offside then. The flag went up and the whole of the greens defence stopped as did the GK, red player carries on and slots home. I give the goal. Here comes the abuse! Ended up cautioning 2 for dissent for various stupid comments, I was told I had to go an talk to the CAR to ask what he saw as he wasn't flagging for offside. The kid is still stood there in the same position with the flag signalling offside. Get told the goal shouldn't count as the GK stopped. The goalkeeper said he stopped because the CAR had flagged, I said did he blow a whistle? no, we'll play on then. Many more excuses! Finally get to half time and no issues.
Second half in the 50th minute a 1-2 on the wing by reds the linesman sticks his flag up. Again i was about 10yards away and could more a less see across the line. As the the 1-2 started the defender stepped out and the attacker ran on. Again the defence stopped and the red ran to the by line crossed in and a easy tap in. Here come more angry players ( they were much more polite this time). I went over to the CAR and asked him what he saw. He said he was offside as the ball was played his arm was in a offside position. I say thank you and give the goal, no issues with him. As I said in pre match de-brief with him I said feel free to flag but the final decision is mine. He agreed to this. Anyways after speaking to him to greens players told the CAR to put the flag down and not to bother as "I was not using him". It took 3/4 of them to tell this kid who was about 14 to stop being the CAR.
Waiting for kick off, I get let's go then ref. I asked them to supply a CAR they refused. I carried on with the game, lots off school boy remarks from them. I felt I literally played as one of their CB second half to keep a eye on offside. I felt I handled the game well, considering I felt I lost the green team after the second decision against them. After the game I got a lot from the greens saying you ruined the game ref. Was tempted to say " no your decision not to play to the whistle cost you".
Did I do anything wrong?
I'm just felt with why do we bother? I could of spent the time with my family.
