Sunday was my 1st match back in 5 months due to injury U18 Blue vs Green.
1st Half went without a hitch, fast football, score 1-0
2nd half- 2 mins in a caution blue7- no complaints, reckless tackle, played the ball then the player and studs up, free kick and cation adminisistered
26mins- both teams are very niggley, various fouls given although more against green, gave a free kick, cue sustained dissent from green 9 after I'd already warned him=C2, easy
29 mins- careless tackle on an attacker in the penalty area by green 5- I have a word with him and warn about the tackle and dissent, however he continues to make comments about the penalty and the penalty taker, caution for C1, again easy. Penalty scored
36 mins- more fouls against green. Captain takes it upon himself to remind me there are 2 teams not 1, I decided to caution although looking back would anyone have walked him?
Major decision on the 39th minute of the 2nd half, I blow up for a foul against a blue player, who as green 6 walks past him and brushes against him crumples to the ground, I hit the whistle, call over green 6 and show him a red for VC as I believed at the time I had seen a flick of the arm towards blue's nether regions, cue absolute chaos!!! In the end blue captain is adamant that his player only has cramp and nothing happened, with the game about to descend into chaos I pulled the captains to one side, made sure this was correct on pain of them both recieving cautions if they were wrong, checked with the injured blue player who says nothing happened, so I rescinded the red card, correct or not? thinking about it I should have let it go to appeal, but then I feel I would have had to abandon the match and cause more problems.
Help?
