CONTEXT: This was an Under 9s cup game, I am a 15 year old going on the course in 2020.
Blue = Home team
Red = Away team
The game itself within the first half was quite calamatious and lots of 50/50 challenges and decisions, most of which were going Blue's way, because that's how I saw the majority of the fouls. I heard the occasional comment from Red's parents and coaches but nothing major.
Towards the end of this part of the game, a challenge had gone in, which looked fine to me, and Blue went on the counter and nearly scored. I hadn't realised the player was still down and was injured. Cue some shouting & abuse from coaches the from Red's side, but the game restarted with a goal kick and we got underway. One of the Blue players then scored, heading it in on the line as a bit of a joke (showboating). Goal was given and was fine. Then all of a sudden one of Red's players decided to throw the ball at the Blue players head, which hit his face.
Then there was absolute pandemonium, with Reds parents verbally abusing me shouting ''really, you f*cking c*nt'' and things like that. Red's coach did then say to the parent not do that. After that however, the coaches from both Red and Bluestarted arguing, with the game ready to restart. I spoke to both of the players involved in the incident, and went over to the head coach of blue (Blue coach) asking what she thinks I should do. I was going to originally give a sin bin, but it wasn't so much dissent, however, the Red coach thought I had given it and began shouting at me saying "You're so ridiculous, you don't give sin bins to 9 year olds!" and saying how "He is a qualified referee and observer." and could still hear other parents shouting and verbally abusing me, whilest coaches were arguing amongst themselves.
The mother of Red's child then went to Red's technical area and begun shouting at both me and Ali. I said to the head coach of Blue I was thinking abandonment would be the best choice, however before I could do anything like that, the coach brung all the players off and decided to forfeit the game, me and other club officials went over to the Red coach, attempting to explain what I saw and how I am still a very new referee, he was not having any of it and made a few more comments towards me and Blue's coach.
Reds then left the pitch and the game was abandoned.
What do you think I should've done differently?
