Hi everyone, I packed up Refereeing 12yrs ago through a bad leg injury. I had to go on Refereeing course again and found some l.o.t.g.
changes. I am 53yrs old now and had my first game back on Saturday 15/18. It was freezing cold not quite what I was expecting but the players
behaved themselves up until 80th minute, losing 3-0 the away side wanted to call it a day. One player stating they could walk off if they wanted to.
I told him quite loudly so his team mates could hear, Its up to you but it goes in the match report that your team abandoned the match and not
quite sure how big the fine for his club would be. Within 5mins they clawed back to 3-2 then all I got was Ref hope your adding loads of injury time
to this game. (Footballs a funny old game) Anyway apart from aching in the morning I'm looking forward to my next match in January.
Its looking good on the match reports with all the internet now, used to be loads of writing for disciplinary reports and stamps and envelope's.
Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone.
