Agreed, I went to AFC Portchester on Saturday who were playing Moneyfields (1-1).
The Moneyfields team gave the referee stick for every decision against them - two of their players were sin-binned for dissent. No wonder the leagues are struggling with referee recruitment, no young nipper would want that kind of stick just for trying to do a job.
Then 10 mins from the end AFC player (who had come on as a sub) got a straight red.
