This again was one that I through out the game to talk to him and get him to just play and not be so worried about his team mates or the other team or even anything I called or did not call. Most of the time he seemed to be responsive to what I would say and would go 7 to 8 minutes sometimes less before having another out burst. Well I called on obvious off side and he did not like that at all. So he approached me and kept questioning how I could make such a call. I explain where players where when the pass was made and while I was literally two feet from him he said FUCK (something) somewhat softly as he turned and started to walk away. So I blew my whistle and showed him the red card. To which he could not believe of coarse. Funny part about this is as he turned to see me show him the card the first words from his mouth where "I didn't say anything"...........At that point I did not say that he had. So then he asked why the red card, to which I explained that kind of language is absolutely not tolerated. He said a bunch more in Spanish to some of his buddies, and I am not fluent in Spanish but know that I have heard those words referred to as not such good words either. He then slowly exited the field. |

This was an automatic when this player #8 (Victor Benetez) from Wasatch and #8 (Chris Bestenlehner) from Uintah were battling for position and possession on the side line with approximately 1 minute left in the game. Both players were pushing pulling and then Victor held Chris's jersey pulling him toward the ground and in doing so he (Victor) tripped over Chris's leg which made him (Victor) go out of bounds. I blew my whistle to stop play for the held jersey (at this point I was about 15 yards from them and started toward the two when Chris felt the hold he tried to push Victor away from him where Victor then took a simple swing at Chris while he (Victor) was laying on the ground, and did not connect. Chris saw this, and I am sure felt it, so he took a couple pot shots that did connect and by this time I am about five feet from them still blowing my whistle trying to gain their attention. I think I had everyone's attention but theirs. Victor scrummed back and landed a hit or two of his own, and I was immediately there making sure that no other players got involved or tried to retaliate for their teams sake and keep them separate from each other. I made sure to isolate these two and had them physically sit down while I cleared the area from other players and coaches. When I say coaches I just asked them to step back a few feet and make sure that the rest of both teams keep their cool and manage them. I must say I was pleased with the coaches and even the other players to keep out of the situation and not get involved with perpetuating the fight. Everyone listened to my commands and complied. As I had the immediate situation taken care of. I took out my booklet and took some notes and names and numbers of the players. I took the few seconds there to reiterate what I started the game with, That is I mentioned to them at that time that this is a sophomore game and it is a great game of soccer to be played on a great day. There was nothing on the line for either team and that it is the best time to learn from your successes and your failures. I told them while they sat and listened that there is no room at all in the game for that kind of behavior and then showed each one the red card. After that I asked that they go to their bench respectively. |

Not exactly sure how to enter this one, other than I will explain the yellow then the red. So This player was playing slow and with a bit of an attitude. I asked for her to give better play. Then the next foul I called on her I warned and explained the reasoning of which the foul was called and she gave more attitude. It was not more than two minutes and she fouled again. She questioned the call in a sour way but I was willing to let the attitude go but not the persistent infringement. she proceeded to tell me what a horrible ref I was and I needed to get a clue. I just looked at her and shook my head and said I am sorry and took out the yellow card and asked her to leave when she was walking off the field she proceeded to call me names and show her disgust for having to endure such an awful ref. And she swore under her breath. SO the second yellow came and the automatic red to follow. So the first yellow for persistent infringement and second yellow for decent and then the automatic red for two yellows. |

This is the second yellow. and it was for decent. This boy struggled all game long. Really playing way too rough and playing the player not the ball to knock them of the ball. And after I gave the first yellow for persistent infringement he decided he was going to proceed to tell me what a horrible ref I was and I didn't know what I was talking about. When I asked that he just zip it and say no more he couldn't stop and told me what an idiot I was. And other things under his breath walking away and waving me off like I meant nothing. |

Pretty straight forward. The Keep (Grayson) from Uintah, exited the box to about the 25 yard line looking to stop the attack from the Wasatch forward. In doing so the Wasatch forward attempted to flick it past the keep and the keep deliberately reached out and stopped the ball. (DOGSO) He knew what he did was not right and instantly apologized and new what was coming. I am sure a knee jerk reaction but still the forward had clearly broken away from the pack and only had the keep to beat. |
