8/12. However, I reffed an under 10s game of the team i used to coach and can quite easily say it was the worst refereeing performance ever . At one point I forgot I had the whistle. After awarding my team a free kick for a blatant foul I was called a cheat (despite it being in the last five minutes, being 7-1 down and the fact i'd awarded them a penalty earlier on) by one of the dad's. Instead of turning the other cheek I left the field of play to remonstrate with the fat fecker. Never again would I do that job. Playing the game is a damn sight easier than reffing and respect to anyone who refs at amateur level as I can't for the life of me see how any enjoyment can be gained. I was one of the very few coaches at youth level who had a policy of subbing any of the kids who showed dissent to refs, but some of the abuse I witnessed from opposition players and parents was a disgrace.
