Soccer Injustice

So my team had a soccer game tonight sort of last minute becuase our new shedule came out just this week. Whatever. We ended up having only five people including myself show up which in indoor means becuase one person is the goalie we are one short on the field. So we start playing and actually score first! they end up tieing it, then we score again. Then the infraction happens. they have a free kick and i, wanting to help out our gracious goalie stand behind her (first mistake) and end up blocking the ball from going in the net with my hands (second bigger mistake). i figure just a two minute penalty and then back to the game well boy was i wrong...... .....so here i am, great save...
....and here's the puffed up power tripping ref giving me a red card and expelling me from the game...yes expelling me, so i have to leave the playing area entirely! then, not only am i expelled, i'm suspended from the next game!! If that is not going overboard by about, well a lot, then i'm a flying pig.....
.....i've included a referee recruiting poster to remind all refs out there that the first rule in the code of ethics of reffing is to encourage fairness and ref as to gain the respect of those who you serve....yes serve. that would be me. So i got to watch my four remaining teammates play their hearts out and actually score again but ending up with a 3-5 loss. i was so proud anyway.

so i'm guessing you're not allowed to be behind the goalie?

that sucks.

Cool site.
Well, that does suck that you're suspended. But are you sure that there aren't rules for giving out suspensions for certain infractions? Maybe the ref had to suspend you for another whole game.
