On Saturday I bumped into a coach who my son used to playfor I have known him years and reffed his team on numerous occasions. I was just about to go off to my game and him the same. He told me a story which left my chin on the floor. My friend coaches U15s so never has any parents to run the line so he does it himself and leaves the coaching to his assistant. The game was progressing but the ref was stuck in the circle of refereeing so not very close to play. I did ask whether it was an older referee but it was a young lad.The coach flags for a throw in for his team. The ref overrules. No issue although the coach was closer. 5 mins later the coach signals for a throw in for his team again, being closer. The ref starts blowing his whistle and starts to shout for the CAR to join him in the centre circle. The coach calmly refuses to go over and asks if you need to speak to me please come over. The ref storms over and says are you taking the piss? The coach replies I dont know what you are talking about. The ref then replies you were flagging sarcasticely.
I do know I have only heard one side of the story and there are always 2 sides. Anybody had sarcastic flagging before and how would I recognise it?
