Hi all, for once I'd like to bring a positive note to these type of threads. Last Saturday, I had my first serious mass con. Never had one before as the leagues I work on are generally well behaved. However, minute 87 and Green 12 slides in with excessive force. Unfortunately, I had cramped up so I couldn't sprint to the scene and the Blue keeper had already decided to push G12, causing a scene in which all nearby players start some handbags but nothing too serious.
Having never been in one before, I improvised in @Ciley Myrus style and physically removed the goalkeeper from the scene and pushed him back into his box, warning him that I didn't want another word from him. Then called in both captains to get them to calm their players down, and explain the upcoming cards to them. Of course, I hadn't seen everything in the rustle, so I sent off the striker and cautioned the keeper, and the final three minutes went down smoothly.
All in all, it was a fun game and even though I know becoming involved in a scene isn't recommended, I feel as though I prevented a full on fight by doing so. It gets your adrenaline rushing and I'm looking forward to next weekend.
