assistant referee, sussex colleges cup final.
about 15 yards in front of me, (towards the far goal) and 5 yards in-field, as i stand at the half way line, yellow defender slides in and makes what could have been regarded as a reckless tackle on red attacker with red player falling onto yellow player as a result. as red player extricates himself from the two man heap he has a bit of a retaliatory scuffle with the red defender, not quite swinging a punch but certainly 'adopting an aggressive attitude'
referee has blown for the foul and gone over to speak to the yellow defender, at some length, but doesn't book him. he then prepares for the free kick to be taken and i realise that he is not going to speak to the red player. (by now this is about 2 minutes after the original incident).
would you flag to get the referee's attention to let him know what you saw or just leave well alone. (no pre-match instruction that covered this)
