hi all,
did my 2nd tournament yesterday, it was 7 a side disability football, the standard was really good.
it was my 10th and final match, semi final, ended up going to penalty shootout, my first one.
all was going well, the team kicking first missed their 5th penalty, so up step the 2nd team, a goal would win it for them,
they take the kick, clips the post and ends up behind the net,
panic stations I didn't see which side of the post it went, their was a hole in the side netting that I didn't check first which us a lesson hard learnt.
1.team celebrated they scored and won and the other team celebrating that the team had missed.
both coaches told me they didn't see if it went in or not,
hand on heart I didnt see it, it probably went in due to how it ended up behind the net but I couldn't be certain.
I asked the player to retake it and asked a ref from another game to stand next to the goalie,
the retake went in with no issues,
was the retake the right call ?, it was my 2nd tournament since doing the ref course, so was unsure but did what I thought was right.
bit of arguing at the end but not too much
hard lesson learned I think
has anyone had something like this occur before?
