Hi,
Had my first open age middle on Saturday, on the county cup. I'm 16, but my height means I can often get away with looking a couple of years older, but I do wear my yellow armband.
Had a sinbin 36mins in for someone shouting 'f*cking **** that ref, on a f*cking power trip, shocking ect..' from a fair distance away.
All was ok, one caution for C1 - AA in the 76th minute.
Then, in the 84th minute, the game boils over, and a mass confrontation starts, leading two 2 red cards and a yellow, as a tried to pick out the key offenders. However, spectators (and possibly the manager, couldn't work it out considering he was wearing all black with his hood up like the rest of them) ran onto the pitch and threw punches during this time. I was confident in my ability to resume that match, so did so, showing 2 more cautions to subs/managers for dissent.
Afterwards, my match day coach was incredibly supportive, and mentioned he would've abandoned the game, but was more than complimentary for me continuing it, and my report came back great, pointing out my potential in refereeing amongst other stuff, so I'm pleased.
Was wondering if there is any clear cut 'abandon it' offences relating to this type of incident, except for the assault of a match official.
Cheers
