Should behaviour by referees when they are off duty be reported?
Game yesterday. Tournament. Already seen the blue team earlier in the day. Blue GK had twice raced out to complain to the ref but no action taken. Before my game, blue GK comes to say hello, so I take the chance to tell him in a friendly way not to repeat. He acknowedges.
A few minutes into the game, fairly innocuous but YC foul on s blue player. GK rushes out, pushes offender, shouting, handbags, 20 players and coaches gather for mild handbags. GK mouthing throughout. I physically separate some players, especially the GK, and much Valkeen blasting.
Eventually I isolate offender and GK, tell it’s YC each. Have to tell GK to stop complaining. Cards given. GK stays, complains... 1-2-3 times calmly quiet or it’s second yellow, he doesn’t, so second yellow and red. It’s blatant. It’s an easy decision.
He goes to the bench refuses to leave. I have to tell him again to leave the playing area. Game restarts, I see he’s i the crowd. Tell him to leave, he refuses, standing just off the pitch, complaining, 6-7-8 times I am shouting at him the leavd the playing area. He’s still complaining. Eventually member of local FA escorts him to changing rooms.
After the game, GK reappears, won’t shut up. On FoP after the game. “You pushed me... tell me what I said... you didn’t understand me...” blah blah tournament organizer appears. I explain he’s had two dissent yellows, very straightforward, go to the office, make a complaint if you like. GK repeats “allegations” to organizer. I leave and leave them to it.
Of course, I know him because he’s a ref.
In this tournament we didn’t have to make reports as we would league games about RCs and e.g. refusing to leave the FoP.
I thought his behaviour was disgraceful. Lying to the tournament organiser to discredit a fellow official was the part that irked. Getting a red card, not leaving the FoP, they are kinda “part of football”. But I’ve got this niggle that he should really be reported to our refsec for his behaviour.
What do you think, what’s the code, been here before?
