Home team won the game 3-0. Some away players were unhappy with a few of my decisions.
Looking back, they probably had a point with one that lead to the 3rd goal. Defender went to clear with a big clearance but was closed down by striker. Ball hit strikers hand/arm by his side but was really close to defender, went onto score.
Could sense that away players felt aggrieved and went on to question nearly every decision for the last 20 mins.
At full time, I took my time getting my stuff together before approaching away side for match fee. Collected match fee and a player 'wanted a word'.
This said player went on to question decisions in the game such as the goal mentioned above, a caution for his captain and a penalty awarded against his team (keeper saved it at 3-0). Apart from the 3rd goal, I was happy with the decisions that I mentioned and overall in the game but he weren't having any of it. Told me "I've had a shocker" and "it's people like you, why teams fold". I was laughing inside at that comment. Also said the team would report me. All was said in a non threatening or abusive way but this chat/confrontation annoyed me none the less.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before? Looking back I should have told him where to go.
