Hello all ,
been an avid reader of posts on this forum since taking up refereeing at start of season, but never posted
Had my first real mentally sapping game today. It seemed from the first whistle to last i had a barrage of comments re any throw in , simple foul , offside and declined penalty.
It was almost like white noise throughout the game.
No cards issued , spoke with a couple of players re reaction to challenge or just one too many fouls. It was just the incessant calling for anything and everything from beginning to end.
How do you cope with a game like that , where in the opinion of everyone , you cant do wrong for doing wrong !!
PS , funnily enough , after game was approached to ref for one of the teams next week !! Bizarre
