Hi all,
Pretty much brand new ref here, 4 games in, all at U12 and U13 so far. Feel like I am improving game by game but always trying to reflect back.
This morning, U12 end of the season game, there were two incidents I could use some experienced advice:
1. Notice two players having hand bags,nothing much in it really and I can’t hear anything specific being said. I call them both over for a quiet word. Player 1 then shouts loudly (in earshot of all players, managers and spectators including young children) “He called me a c***!”. Is this an offinabus even though not directed at anyone?
2. Towards the end of the game, home team losing 3-nil it’s clear they’re getting frustrated. Their manager starts to shout things like “C’mon boys you’ll get days when the ref is against you” or “He’s not on our side boys, play to the whistle”. Can the side-line manager be accused of dissent in this instance?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
