Couple of incidents from yesterday on which I wouldn't mind a second opinion:
1) Literally in the first minute of a local derby, U15s, division 1, an away midfielder protests a throw-in decision with the words "that's cheating", as much directed at the CAR as at me. I explained to him in audible range of his own touchline that he obviously didn't realise the seriousness of what he had said and that he should tread very carefully for rest of the match. He was subbed a few minutes later (coincidence?) and wasn't a major problem thereafter. Was that a cop-out?
2) Goalkeeper fumbles ball while trying to kick out and quickly regains control. I let play continue.
3) Free kick right on the edge of the box; I am right on top of it. An attacker tries to take it quickly, and in a very crowded area a collision happens (not a foul either way for me). I come back for ceremonial when perhaps I should have played on. Match was in a slightly fiery, tense stage.
4) Restarting play before subs can get into tactical position. Coach blames a goal concession on it, but LOTG only specify that they enter the field. A common sense one perhaps.
5) Away team is losing faith in CAR. I don't see a problem. They want me to talk to him. Response?
Thanks.
