Hi RefChat,
I was officiating in an U12's 9-a-side game a few weeks ago and it was coming up to the last minute in the game and the the home team player used this elbow against the away team player. Note that this was the only bad challenge in the game and the home team were already winning by more then two goals. The game was fair contested and fouls were given throughout, as you'd expect in a normal game.
I stopped play and awarded the yellow card (caution) to the home teams player.
The away team manager thought it was a straight red and I didn't give the red card because I felt that the challenge wasn't committed deliberately.
The manager was not happy with the decision, which I thought was correct at the time and started getting really angry and was directing it at me.
I then blew for full time and the away team manager came up to me and was still shouting at me very badly.
What should I do if managers are directing their anger at me during any future games I referee in?
Thanks.
