RefChat Addict
I was Ref2 in a game last week, Ref1 is a high level futsal GK and good ref with great attitude - not the best ref movement or signalling - rough diamond but always good decisions and communication.
I always pop a finger when the GK opens play, just in case... and this time the ball makes its way back to the green GK after a long passage... I'm poised... whistle ready... look at my oppo... it's all on... the pass back is heading for the GK... I look up again and blow for the double touch!
Then I move towards the spot for the IDFK, hand up... and I get the strangest look from Ref1... I'm thinking: did he not see it... did he not realise... then I get the strangest look from the keeper... then Ref1 shouts... "he let it go out"! Oh f***. I was so piqued at the prospect of whistling the second touch after such a long period of play that I had... totally taken my off the ball at the moment the GK would have kicked the ball - and he dummied it for the corner!
