Tbf mate it was never a penalty fair enough his 2 feet were off the floor and it connected with his neck but it was very very softI've ref'd my kids game....If the local League don't supply then the home team have to ref.....
my first game....I had to award a penalty against my own lad for handball..(he's still going on about it)....then awarded a penna against the other team....on further discussion with the linesman it was deemed not a handball so I retracted my decision....by this point my own lads are giving me shite....then one of our lads bundled over in the area, I award a penalty....in the furor he's screaming as he's fractured his wrist....they scored the penna and won...then I blew the final whistle....then it started to thunder a lightning and piss down overhead and still had parents from the other team asking about the penalty I'd awarded because their player had literally Ice hockey challenged our player in the box.....
that first pint didn't even touch the sides..
it's hard...
