Regretted he said that.....

During my match last night player got tackled which i thought was fair, i waved on play and a player came up to me and said "That was a terrible decision ref, that should have been a free kick" I ignored him then he came up to me again and said "Why didn't you give a free kick? that was a foul, i should know i'm a qualified referee"
My reply was " Well if you're a qualified referee you should know better than give me all this grief, and you'll also know anymore of this and you'll be getting a caution for dissent, needless to say he walked off. I made a note of his number got his name from the team sheet compared it to the referee directory and he's not in it.

Probably one of those "referees" who take the course for their CV and never really look at it again!

when he told me he was a "qualified ref" i was waiting for some law to be quoted or name dropping but not a thing.......

Thankfully, not a lot of people in the US make that claim...
