Context: 6-1 to home team 1 minute to go. U9
Incident: home team has possession heavy shoulder barge sent kid flying that I judged to be fair and just that the one kid was bigger than the other. Cries for free kick that I don’t give for a player to then shout at me ref are you on drugs? I immediately stop play and ask the manager to remove him which he complies with for the player to to go you don’t know what you’re doing. At this point I say he needs to be careful with what he’s saying and needs to be respectful for the manager to then say that I have a serious ego problem and that I should grow up. Away manager (6-1 down) then steps in and tells the manager to be quiet because he thought I’d had a great game and that they’re overreacting. Game soon ends and manager comes over and tells me that the kid was upset and that I shouldn’t have “had a go at him” I felt that I was perfectly justified in my decision and could very easily have sent off manager or player but chose not to and explained that next weeks ref could have sent him off for a comment like that. I then said I would not further discuss it and luckily parents from either teams came over and handed the money and I walked away as quick as I could onto my 3rd game of the day
3 things, was I justified or not, should I report it and also should I be reporting about the kid talking about drugs at 8 years old?
