Today I had 2 u11 match’s. younger matches get under rated for what happens in them. The first one was okay for the first 20 or so minutes, and then it got more competitive and there was pushing and shoving, but I feel as if that I can’t give younger kids yellows, or anything because there so young, and i have never saw younger children been pulled with yellow or red cards.that was the first problem. Then I had an offside, descion. Without lines men offsides are so difficult. Basically been getting grief saying that I wasent giving offsides, them this boy generally looked offside, and with it being on Astro, there wasent half way line and I thought he wasent in his own half and I gave the offside, and everyone was shouting left right and centre even the ones I gave the free kick to. I lost my full confidence, and with all that I had a child yapping In my ear the whole game, about every tiny detail, however I didn’t listen.
The. The managers started getting ****y, and with the lines flags because I gave a throw opposing them, they started just taking the mick really, and it really lowered my confidence.
I then went into the second game, it was okay for the first 30minutes or so, but again got very competitive a lot of shovingonce again but I had the same problem with cards. And this is were I really let myself down and I feel I should have bite the bullet and gave cards. Because my descions weren’t going the loosing way, the kids got very annoyed and one went to me ‘she’s on drugs’, I mean it wasent offensive but 11 year old children? I feel it wasent right, I then heard others saying stuff about my but couldn’t exactly hear what they were saying, but I heard some of the language and I just froze. I let it slide and at the end off the match I told their coach that if it was a more strict ref it could have been worse. But today really lowered my confidence and it was worse than any other games I’ve done.
I’ve did about 20 games now, and these have by far been the worse. Sorry for the rant but I just want people’s opinions on what happened.
Thank you
