I was appointed AR at a match yesterday. Blue v Green. Blue were expected to win. The ref had requested that I keep the score and the other AR keep the time. 5 minutes to go over the comms the ref asks me the score. I say Green 25 Blue 21. I didn't know it at the time but Blue had asked him. The ref repeated the score but just said 25 v 21. The blue player said "To us?" The ref paused and then added as an afterthought "yeah". So blue now thinks they are 4 points up.
Uproar when the match ended. Coach of Blue very unhappy and came storming on to the pitch. Ref dealt with him very well. V understandable as they played differently on the basis that they thought they were ahead.
Ref confessed to a miscommunication to blue. I was worried I had got. Scores wrong but I hadn't.
Any my lessons to learn? Apart from the fact that I will volunteer to keep the time next time.
