Well, here it goes. My first post here and I've already become last week's ref. My first couple of games went by smoothly and my assessor keeps on providing me with very useful information regarding my postioning and communication with the players. Improvement does show and that's what I'm glad about. Until now, I've always been congratulated by both managers and the same happened on Saturday although I made a massive mistake in Law.
Due to the Dutch (imo) stupid sin bin for a yellow card, a grassroots Ladies' game ended with all 22 on the pitch. Last minute DOGSO by the keeper outside the box, but since the game was incredibly competitive and fair, and the tackle wasn't malicous in the slightest, I decided to go with yellow. Few protests, but nothing serious. Free kick was missed, away team wasted time until the end of stoppage time and that was that.
Yet if the girl somehow breaks someone's leg next week, I'll be the one sure that she shouldn't even be playing.
Well, rant over. Bring on Saturday!
