Here goes ,confession time ....this should be a Top Ten Job ...its now Tuesday and my guts are still churning
Sunday Am..... local cup semi final contested by arguably the 2 best teams in the league ( Blue v Yellow)
Very tight first 15 mins loads of tackles and shouting for every 50/50 as I expected .
already had a" F**k off ref ", for a foul said in a inquisitive way so .....benefit of doubt and a very public word with player .
25th minute yellows 1 0 down play long ball down the line, defence scramble it clear and Blue CB shouts at my NAR "Lino ....get that fu******k flag up " instant whistle call him over book him !
Now for the bad bit .....put my book away and I see the keeper holding the Ball , yellow attacker says "that's a Fk ref the balls still in play " I then ask the keeper for the ball put it on the top of the ark where the player was when he had his outburst raise my arm and shout "IDF yellow "
Still ok I know ! .....the Blue Defence are all up field ish and quick thinking striker comes sprinting from halfway line shoutin "Ref can we have a quick one " I say nothing as the Strikers run towards me I can hear the home bench going mental but before I can process my thoughts the keeper kicks the ball away and gets a c4 booking ...looking back he did me a favour ! now the Idf is finally taken with everyone back in position and scored to make It 1 1 .........IT GETS WORSE
I have obviously now lost the home team and the rest of the game was a complete nightmare even though they eventually won the tie
I still felt I could justify the decision by not penalising the yellows quick thinking and telling the home players at FT its not my job to tell you the laws you should know the restart for dissent during play
ONLY TO FIND OUT FROM A FELLOW REF AND THE HOME MANAGER AND AN OFF DUTY ASSESSOR (who were all watching). THAT WHEN I BOOKED THE DEFENDER THE BALL HAD ALREADY GONE OUT FOR A THROW IN TO BLUE that's why they had all pushed up (the ball had been kicked back on and the keeper was simply holding it )
I still feel like a Knob now and have made my apologies to all concerned but I did have a dig at my lino for not correcting me as we did cover it pre match
CONCENTRATION is so important !!!!!!!
Who is up next ? get it off your chest !
