Had a feisty game this morning, last of season for these two, according to both captains nothing for either team to play for.
During the toss I reminded them if that was the case how foolish they would be to pick up any suspensions that would follow them into next season.
That didn't stop lots of mouth and attempted verbal intimidation, soon silenced with a couple of cautions and strong words.
So, 72nd minute and away team (green) have a shout for a penalty. Not given, ball goes upfield, and on the half way line green midfielder goes into a 50/50 double footed, off the ground, completely out of control, nowhere near the ball.
Mass confrontation ensues, all handbags really. It calms down and I make the (very easy) decision to show him a straight red.
Que shouts of "that's your fault ref", "that wouldn't have happened if you'd made the right decision on that pen ref".
Whatever mate. Get on with it.
