The manager did try and talk to somebody as the Cal south table was right there. As the game kept going my attention was mostly on the game. By halftime the refs were held back from coming back on the field as the field marshal, team manager and a representative from the tourney were all talking but I believe it came down to the fact that the field marshal didn't stop the game in time and that they couldn't go backwards and undo it at that point. So simply, SVSC didn't take the right action in time or the Field Marshall didn't.So why didn't the SVSC coach protest the game due to a misapplication of the LOTG?
A learning lesson for all involved I guess. Some of us knew about the red card possibility if they saved the goal with their hands but we were mostly uncertain with the header. We ALL felt that a warning or coaching opportunity was there for the ref instead of a red card though.
