Worked as assistant for a game yesterday. Was a Women's League Cup semi final so had a really good turnout, and on the whole really enjoyed it and the game was brilliant.
However, as I was working the spectator side, I unfortunately took a bit of abuse from a group of lads who had sampled too much of the bar, in particular during the last 10 minutes.
There were some homophobic comments made and quite frankly some pretty threatening comments by one bloke in particular. Pretty sinister in all honesty.
As we were in the last 5/10 minutes, I just ignored it and let the ref know after the game. He said I should have just buzzed him over and he would have had them removed. In hindsight, I should have done but I just put up with it.
I've submitted an ER on Whole Game and dropped a text to the Ref Sec for a bit of advice but what else should I do here? I mentioned it to the home team coach and he didn't know them personally but they were talking with home team players after the game. I believe the game was recorded for a YouTube channel so I'll be reviewing the footage when it's out but just not sure who it should go to.
