Had my first game a on a new higher league in Saturday. Good and easy game in general but had a number of league officials watching so was keen to do a good job.
CAR had been a bit flag happy but went with him as his positioning was good and was not 100% sure he was ever wrong but a few were dubious that the opposition also picked up on. In the last minute a long clearance sends a striker clean through. Trigger flag to go up....but his run began in his own half so confident car was wrong I allowed play to continue. Alas he scored and his team won the game.
End of the game losing manager told league officials that my decision was going to cost me marks. Winning manager said I was correct and got it spot on.
So whilst I lose marks from one manager I bet I don't gain marks for making a brave decision to over rule a lino in the last minute from the other manager. Very frustrating.
