    Just had my first red card, 25 games into refereeing (first full season) 10 minutes into second half with the home team winning 3-0, the away player didn't get a decision and then turned and called me a f*****g cheat. Called him and his captain over and asked him if he felt it was dissent or...

    Junior/Youth Racist Comment by player
