Forgive me forum for I have sinned.
Refereed a match between whites and yellows. Whites 2 divisions higher and their extra quality was obvious throughout and soon raced into a 4-0 lead.
2nd half yellows only come out with 10 as one player had "food poisoning" and they had already used all their subs. Lead soon increased to 6-0 when a yellow player tries to run with the ball but ultimately trips himself up. Trying hard not to laugh the yellow player then promptly starts telling me how useless I am and that it was a free kick all day. My response "being rubbish at football is not a reason to award you a freekick"
It got a few laughs from the crowd and opposition players, and it didn't affect my overall match control but that kind of comment wasn't really appropriate.
Said player did get cautioned a few minutes later, he was 1 v 1 with the GK and as yellow 9 went to go round him keeper swiped the ball away, yellow player clearly feels its a penalty (only one to do so) and starts cursing. Whites counter so i allow play to continue but it ends up going out for goal kick, i call over yellow 9 and tell him is being cautioned for dissent and he is lucky its not a red for OFFINABUS.
Final score 8-0 to whites
