Hey team!
So there was a foul just inside the attacking team's half (counter attack) . I waited a second to see where the ball went. It went to their winger who was in loads of space and running towards their penalty area. I shouted advantage, gave the signal, took note of the player who committed the foul.
The player kept running, very promising attack, they had more numbers. On the edge of the area (so the advantage had gone from their own half to the edge of the area) the winger then lost the ball (air kick), got up and pushed over the defender in frustration (I blew up) and he then kicked the ball at away.
He was on a yellow, so I gave him a second yellow for getting up and pushing a player over in frustration/anger.
I gave the player who 'took one for the team' a yellow.
The manager and team went mental. Complaining that I played the advantage.
It took about 5 mins to calm the team down.
I said:
1) play until the whistle.
2) you had a clear advantage,. You took it (ran down half the pitch). What's better? A free kick in your half or being on the counter attack with 3v2 with a chance of scoring?
3) earlier in the game, I played advantage, the other team scored.
4) my decision to play the advantage isn't an excuse for the player to push over another player in frustration and boot the ball away.
Apparently I ruined the game and was a cheat haha..
Agree I made the correct decision? Would you have done anything different?
