Ok so an UI3s game yesterday and the game is ten minutes or so in when green manager starts complaining the match ball is a size 5, when the game stopped i had a look at the ball and it had no actual size on it (unusual that) so when we restarted.
The next time the ball goes out of play the manager throws a different ball on, clearly a size 4 which is correct at this age group but it wasn't the best ball and then the other team start complaining that its only a training ball.
We get through to half time but the manager who wanted to play with the "bigger ball" puts the bigger ball back on and gets rid of the other teams size 4.
It was all a bit of a farce really, i explained that the competition rules state that we play with a size 4 ball, if both teams were happy playing with the 5 i had no issue but if one team didn't accept it then we had to go with the correct size match ball.
Big balls manager wasn't happy at all.
Anyone ever had similar situation and was i right in my decision to play with the size four ball ?
