Not something that has happened personally, but I thought I’d ask.
Let’s assume you’re at a tournament or a public pitch and there is a match on straight after yours so the teams and the ref are standing by.
You have a mass confrontation or other serious match event e.g. off the ball incident. Would you take the advice of the referee standing at the side of he saw something and advised you on it? Would it matter if you knew him or not?
Personally, I think I’d struggle to, even if I knew them. If it went to disciplinary etc it’s extremely difficult I assume to support the decision. Want to hear your thoughts though.
