Hi guys, 3 games into my reffing journey and I'm still finding it difficult to cope at the moment.
Made life a lot harder for myself this morning by not walking a player. Here's the incident, I give a penalty against a player who then says "f**k off ref" I went for the selective hearing approach and ignored him - I should have walked him right?
However here's where it's get even worse, having ignored that he then proceeds to say "Ref you're a cheat" - this is also a straight red offence right?
However I just gave him a yellow. Why, why, why!?
For the rest of the game he was in my ear, "ref is that not a pen", "was that not handball" around 5 times he said stuff like that - Having gone with my original decision to book him should I have gave him a second yellow for this? I just kept saying "No it's not because I haven't blown my whistle this time"
I need to be stronger, there is no doubt about that!!!
