Had my fifth game today and had the away team (red) manager refusing to shake my hand or talk to me after the game. His only words to me were 'you spent 90 minutes against us'. To be honest, I feel frustrated that this was the reaction for me keeping to the laws of the game, the situations are below
1) Red team player grabs the oppositions shirt in two different attacks, pulling him to the ground. I tell him that's his last warning. Another player then does the same. The third players does it 2 more times. I warn him, also speaking to the captain saying anymore of these late challenges will be a booking. 1 minute later, player number one drags someone down. A booking follows. The captain approaches me complaining how harsh that was. I explain that he's probably lucky I've given so many chances and I've booked him after warning him twice, also stating that I've already told him as well.
2) ball cleared from a corner, purple picks up the ball in a 3 on 2 situation, red player hacks him down. Booking follows
3) this is the awkward one. Red player plays a though ball, I'm unsure wheather the striker is in line with the right back, or offside. The flag is raised but I give a loud and clears 'play on' shout. Red team scores. I go and speak to the CAR and without me saying a word, he says 'the striker was a yard offside behind the right back'. That was enough for me to disallow the goal and give offside, I wanted to see which player he saw as the last man to reassure myself
What's your opinion of the below. If I'm honest, I'm happy with my decisions but I'm happy to accept criticism if I'm wrong, all part of the learning process
