Just one of those games today, both teams had players who spend 90 minutes complaining non stop
There were shouts today of "Just call for it and the ref will give it!", "You dont know the rules ref", etc etc
I must admit today I even raised my voice aggressively today, which I have never done
Two players booked for reckless play. One for each team two separate occasions both off the ground when making a tackle but no where near player or ball so felt booking justified.
One booking was for the away team keeper. 50/50 ball in the penalty area, gk just gets the ball moments ahead of the striker who envitably makes contact with the gk. It was trivial so I signal play on as the gk has possession. The keeper then throws the ball at the attacker and then pushes him.
I award a penalty and caution the keeper for unsporting behaviour - adopting an aggressive attitude.
At this point i am told its not a penalty its an indirect freekick, I don't know what I am doing etc etc so I promptly book the player for dissent
Everyone makes a better referee than the bloke doing it.
Rant over, apologies, just one of those games.
