Had s game last night, 1st half went well, no real issues! Result!
2nd half just kept getting interrupted with injuries resulting in 8 minutes of additional time!
The issue.............
Away team score in the 94th minute to lead 4-3, obviously the home team throw the kitchen ain't at getting a goal back resulting in a throw-in 10 yards from the defending teams corner. Home team take the throw as he takes it the Club AR raises his flag for what appears to be offside? I decide "let's see this out" (I can speak to him if need be) yes you guessed.........theow-in landed on attacking players head and in the goal! Home team celebrate, away team asking/screaming about the assistants flag, so I calmly walk over and ask what he raised his flag for? His foot was on the pitch was his answer, I asked him to physically show me where his foot was, he clearly showed me it was fully on the FOP,
Foul throw given!
Now obviously the home team are furious calling assistant a cheat etc, and worst case is seconds later the finishes leaving the home team absolutely furious with the decision! At the time I could rightly have dismissed 2/3 players for language but from the feeling I got, it was best to accept it and report them today!
So my question is should I have backed the club assistant, I feel like I should as I would have in any other situation but I'm also conscious of the fact he gave 1 foul throw all game.......if I'd over ruled him then all the toxic behaviour comes from the home team! Catch 22
