Ok it’s been said to me that I seem to be to combative with managers on this forum !!!!
And I have taken heed of that ! But Sunday’s game U14 A division football title game for one team ! Game starts great football being played by both teams ! Then 10 minutes in it starts home team manager screaming at me because of calls against his side I am apparently not giving ( this is the team that does not need the points for the title by the way) I was in my opinion in full control of a good game of football ! More screaming and shouting with the F word thrown in ! So I go over to say to him calm down this is met by more derision from him
Half time comes I’m getting a drink on a hot day and over he comes really aggressive and starts again I said that I don’t want to talk to him and I’m them met who do you think you F—kin are god
I said no but I’m having a break and I don’t want to talk bearing in mind how hostile he was he then says it’s league rules that we can talk to refs at half time he said read the league rule book lol
Game restarts with him saying to his team you are playing against 12 men and I’m the worst ref ever etc ! Then I give a penalty against his team who were losing 0-1
Then more swearing and ranting so I said you’ll have to leave the area I’m not having this behaviour and language in front of boys who are just enjoying there game ! He would not go so I threaten abandoning but the boys all of them were having a great enjoyable game ! So I finally got rid of him getting applause from the away players saying well done ref but not sarcastically they meant it
Manager goes to top of pavilion and still counties his tirade game stops again I won’t abandon for the boys sake ! Fortunately the club chairman was there and said he would keep him away !!
Game continues away team win the tile and game
I did not have to speak to any player during the game no cautions etc the boys in both teams were a credit with only around 6 fouls in the whole game !! So the question is am I to combative as a ref against managers that act this way or does one roll over and let them do what they want to us ???
