Having such a great game yesterday evening to such a low today. I sent off a player after about 15 minutes, straight red, for saying the C word after he had missed a shot. He was 1 on 1 and dragged it wide, everyone else at about the half way line. I heard him say that to himself so sent him off. For about 6-7 minutes was about 12-15 middle aged men crowding around me shouting and f-ing and binding. Not pleasant as a 16 year old boy . Some players were asking why it wasn’t a sin bin, some were picking apart my words about how I said it was a sending off, some were saying that he didn’t say it at all, and some were saying the OFFINABUS has to be towards the referee and so on. All different opinions and comments thrown about. I also got asked at HT to submit two yellows for dissent which i said I will not do. They said that they will appeal this. Will this mean a disciplinary hearing? This is my first ever sending off as a fully qualified referee- and not the type I expected. The game ended with just one other card, a yellow. And handshakes, but mostly with the home team (away received the red), I thought that it was common practice not to use the C word on the pitch- I don’t mean cheat by the way. The other C word. I wasn’t that happy with my game overall, I should have prepared better. I don’t feel that my positioning was great either. It’s annoying to have such a great Friday evening game to such a horrible Saturday afternoon game.
