Hi all,
Quick question I've been wondering about. Say if 2+ players started to fight behind your back and parents/coaches alerted you of it. You look round and see a player on the floor with Bleeding or other signs of assault. You stop play and go over to see what's happend but as you didn't see what's gone on you are not sure who committed the offence. Parents tell you that number x as just punched him. Would you be correct to go with the word of the parents and coaches and send the player off for violent conduct or would you allow the injured player to get treatment and not send anybody off as you didn't see it?
Sorry it's quite long winded
