Evening chaps,
Match yesterday morning, cup game, couple of divisions difference between the two teams - good competitive first five minutes or so, rarely had to blow up for anything - home team go 1-0 up, as expected being the higher division team, away team equalise almost straight away, home team then start to get at each other. We're barely past 10 minutes in here.
For whatever reason, every time the ball's in the air - throw ins or long balls - home team are always pushing in the back, and I mean, it constantly. I'm blowing up every time - this is where the moans and groans start coming in, and it's just relentless from here on out. Every tackle the away team make, home team calling a foul, every time a home player has an opposing player go near him, he's moaning away...in truth, and on reflection, the cards should've come out much, much earlier.
After HT, home team are testing the water about with some nippy tackles, mostly really clear fouls from differing players, I'm blowing up again and just getting this whinging, this time 3 or 4 players at a time are crowding. I'm escalating through the steps, isolating players, though the groups sometimes aren't backing off - the Captain is always among them - and this is happening every single time. Just the constant complaining and whinging - most of it when it's really not warranted.
Again, thinking back. I should've taken a much firmer line on it. Home team win 3-2 in the end, all shakes and smiles at the end. I'm come away feeling dejected and p***ed off more than anything. Seriously, it's playground stuff out there sometimes...
