I was reffing a u10 game and with 5 minutes to go one of the players decided to kick out at another.
I send the player off and the coach asks why I couldn't just ask him to sub. I tell him that it's about the player learning that they cannot do that. He then says "What are they learning different to me subbing him?" I reply that the FA specifically tell referees to stick to the laws despite the age. I then tell him that there is only 5 minutes left and say I'll play the remaining time and then talk after the game. He refuses making a fuss. I tell him he can submit a report to the FA to get it overturned if he thinks I have done something wrong. He then says "call the game now or I'll just tell my players to come off the pitch" so I call the game. He refuses to shake my hand while constantly calling me and embarrassment saying "you've played junior football, you have to use common sense". Once again I remind him that the FA specifically tell referees to stick to the laws and that he is more than welcome to put a report in to get it overturned. He then goes onto say "The FA tell me to do a lot of **** that I don't do". At that point he once more yells "embarrassment" and walks off.
