I had my first open age line last night, between an Anglian combination prem team and a thurlow nunn div 1 team, The match went extremely well, it was very heated and competitive but I felt I dealt with it very well, I had made friends with a manager who I have at the end of the month, it couldn't have gone much better................until the 89th minute that is, the score is still 0-0 when the ball was just outside the box and all of a sudden a through ball is played and a player is through on goal and scores ,he appears to everyone on the pitch that they are offside but, he was a clear yard on when the ball was played, so I keep my flag down and signal for the goal, cue defending team to start screaming and shouting at me ( obviously not that bright as their vocabulary only stretched to two or three words, one being off and another being lino). I dealt well with it, manager singing my praises to the referee at FT.
I know my decision was correct, but I seem to keep going over it in my head and having doubts, even though I am 100% it was the right call, does anyone have any advice or techniques on how to get incidents like this out of my head and how to move on from it?
