I don't mind at all that a promotion team, fighting to stay in the league, comes to a place like OT and plays a 6-4 or whatever that formation was. I don't mind that they are aggressive and put in maximum effort. However, it was blatantly apparent after the first 15 minutes that the mantra was to foul our players every time we created the slightest bit of breathing space or a dangerous position. It happened over and over and over. The ref was awful. These are premediated fouls and are part of the game plan. All it does is stop the play again and again. The refs have to recognize this and give out yellow cards much, much earlier. It makes the game a farce. Oh, and when our player heads the ball in the box towards the goal and then gets completely charged through and to the ground, it should be at least a pen and a yellow, if not the more appropriate red card, but certainly not play on. That ref needs to go back to the U-11's.
