Firstly, at the half time interval I was approached by two player away team claiming that I was cheating and being bias; the only notable player that claimed this was Bob Smith” which earned him a caution.
Towards the middle of the second half a reckless challenge occurred in which a player went down injured; I allowed the offending player to stay on the pitch issuing a caution as I believe that the offence committed did not present reason for a dismissal however the tackle was late and careless therefore a caution was issued. The injured player was appalled that a caution had only been issued however I am certain that I could only justify a caution.
Entering the last minute of the game a pushing contest was engaged between Home 17 + Away 8; this was started by Away 8 in which I originally issued a dismissal however upon reflection rescinded the red and issued only a caution. I blew the final whistle after issuing the caution and I was confronted by ”Bob Smith” of the Away team. He was walking away and I heard him say something close to “skinny little rat” with that I called him over to explain that I wasn’t certain that it was him but if it was that it was unacceptable to talk like that directed towards an official; upon discussing this he then said “did you see me say it” and without the ability to reply he started walking towards me with a clenched gist saying “be careful what you say beforehand I knock you out” I then attempted to respond saying that I wasn’t cautioning only saying that it isn’t acceptable before he started coming closer and he was then being restrained by his team mates. I believe that his intention was to prove harm to myself.
