I have an advantage here. Officiating in German - but not being German, I can ask them to repeat themselves, because MAYBE I didn't understand correctly. So they have a chance to decide if it was an appropriate comment to make or not, and if they decide it was, then I can flag them for it.
If they are willing to repeat themselves...

I learned that sort of the hard way. I was U and I flagged a kid for the N word - I thought he was taunting an opponent. Turns out the DE was called Niggler and with the mouthpiece I couldn't here the l (I checked the player passes at half time too, and it was true)...
