Evening all! Had a game earlier today u18's very one sided affair! Away team was winning 18-0 (yes really) with 30 seconds to go. Away striker takes a shot that is heading into the goal and defender sticks out his arm and I award the penalty. The most blatant red card you will ever see, but I chose not to send him off. Now 2 things here, 1) sorry if I have let you all down but this seemed the common sense approach, 2) there was not a bad tackle/dissent or any incidents during the game, infact my mum could have reffed it.
I did inform the coach and player that if the game was any way competitive ie 2-1 that the player would have been dismissed.
Thoughts please?
