It was when one of our lads was telling the ref that he was close enough to the touchline to go off the pitch. Ref turned to look to the physio, so Amond shuffled further on to the pitch! He then got up, walked off the pitch without any treatment and turned back, asking to come back on. Quite clearly cheating. The ref could have just left him stood off the pitch for a minute before waving him back on, that would have taught him a lesson.
Many years ago, I used to umpire hockey. In case you don't know, there are three cards, green for a warning, yellow is off the pitch for a minimum of five minutes, but at the umpire's discretion and a red card, 'now I'm going to have to bloody well write to the League about you'. One match, I'd heard a guy give a bit of lip to the other umpire and then he was gobby to me too. I called him over and told him to shut up. I also explained why the decisions he was arguing about were correct and that he needed to understand the rules better. I showed him a green card. A few minutes later, he was gobby again and swore. I called him over, showed him the yellow card and sent him behind the goal. It was a bitterly cold day, with a strong wind and some sleet. At half time, the teams congregated and the other umpire & me came together on the centre spot. The lad jogged up the pitch to join his team mates. As he came to the half way line, I called him to me and asked where he was going? He said to the team... I said something like, 'don't you know the rules? You aren't allowed on the pitch until I say so. Now go back to the goal and walk around the touchline to the other goal'. I left him there for almost all the second half. Eventually I waved him on. He ran up the pitch and as he reached the halfway line, I blew time.
As we walked off I said "you won't be gobby to umpires in future will you?" He apologised and said that he'd learned a lesson!
Yeah, I've always been a twat!
Point is, in sports like rugby & hockey there isn't any of this piss taking (AKA "cheating") because officials won't allow it and players are taught to be respectful.
