I’ve got another confession to make…
It’s been a few weeks and I’m ready to share. Backstory: my only other video review was 7 years ago and I was nervous and tanked in front of my chiefs. Fast forward to the other week, OA tournament finals and my old refsec mentor-type is back after 5 years away and he’s behind the camera. It’s my shot at redemption.
But the match is dull, 3-0 by halftime, nothing to see, until ten minutes to go…
Attacker breaks clear, defender shirt pulls, I’m in the perfect spot, angled just behind, I smell advantage and hold my fire, second defender catches up and grabs the shirt again, again the attacker wriggles ahead getting to the D.
I am all over this. As the attacker shoots, my arms go up, he audaciously chips the GK from 20 yards. When the ball is at its zenith, I screaming play with my arms up. And the ball drops just under the crossbar. Goal.
Double DOGSO advantage goal. I am as high as a kite. It’s the rainbow unicorn. On video. With my guy observing. The guy I most want to impress in the world after a thousand matches doing this.
I am so high. I forget to card the players. The players are not expecting. And the second foul maybe only I see. But all my Mike Dean Christmases have come at once and I forget the card/s. My ARs could have helped on comms. But my fault of course. It’s only when we restart and I’m humming double DOGSO advantage goal, I compute my error.
I was handed the holy grail and I spilt it all down myself.
Making ALL the mistakes so you don’t have to!
