Turned up yesterday to referee a game , whilst doing my pitch inspection prior to kick off i noticed pitch had hardley any grass on it so exposing the sprinkler system i realised that it would be dangerous to players and myself when i got my stud caught in it.
The players and manegement of the team totally understood.
They suggested playing on a rubber crumb surface which is allowed in the league rules so we walked to it on entering the field of play i noticed there were no corner flags. I know the laws of the game state there must be corner flags to play the game but i had traveled a round journey of 80 miles and other opersition even further. So i took both mangers to the side and the captains and explained that we should not play the game however if both managers agreed and both captains i would play the game....Do you think i was right to play the game or should i have called it off...
