6 games into the futsal season.
Game 2, had to BB a GK who wouldn't stop whining and wouldn't leave the field after the RC. His team won 5-1, all long penalties.
Games 3 and 4 were interesting: first time with mics. Good for who is watching the ball, who has the rearguard as the ball is cycled around. One was 8-8, another 9-1.
5 and 6 today, U19 national league. First game, we let them play much more than I am used to, I was ref1 and felt in control, had to give one coach a strong warning but straightforward stuff.
National futsal ref chief showed up to have a quick look at the second. Tough one for me. Super experienced guy on the other side with a much more relaxed foul line than me. I mean much more. It was the most actioned I have ever allowed in a futsal game. We were in control, no bad sliders, nothing reckless, but we allowed a lot of holding and pushing that are usually easy careless for me. We were very consistent through the two games, but I felt I came across very passive and I was frequently twitching but not blowing to be consistent, against my instincts. Bit of an empty feeling really. Don't feel I was really myself. But this does happen in futsal with the two refs - sometimes you have to bend to be a team.
The start of the season is notable for some DOGSO guidance we have been given. Basically, if the GK is close to the ball, say less than 3m if the ball is close to goal, then we are asked to show yellow, as the likelihood of the save means the opportunity is not obvious. (Before you fire at me, I don't like it at all as it seems to me like a license to DOGSO!)
