Padfoot
The Persecuted One
The chats weren't public chats. He was only one making a wall (wide free kicks) so as I paced him out, first occasion is just be careful with his arm coming out to block the ball (given handball, which he accepted). Second was a challenge that generally wouldn't be a chat so as I paced him out I reminded him he was on a yellow and not to draw me to him again.
But this was seen as I was continuing to give him warnings but wasn't actually the case. Trying to manage him than penalise. He didn't do anything after.
As for the corner flags, I did pre match, which is how I noticed it in first place. But I was naive to think at that level theyd go and do it. I found out half time it was because they couldn't get to them but forgot to tell me that the guy was on his way. I also forgot to double check myself. Silly error, rectified very quickly.
Nope. Not buying that.
A quiet word whilst pacing out a wall wouldn’t normally be obvious enough for an observer to make a connection with PI.....you must have done something to make it clear that he was being warned about already being on a caution.
