He goes bezerkers. Immediately gets far too personal, way over the top. I toss him. No subs. Game over.

As me and my partner head off the field wheeee the game ball sails by my head. I turn around and here comes Mr. Bezerker at full speed toward me. I stand my ground and three of his teammates step in front of me. He is going on and on, I just said "tell it to the league I'm sure they will be wanting to talk to you!" Turned and walked out.

He was suspended, don't know how long. My regret was not filing an assault charge for throwing at my head. He missed, thank god. Had it hit me may have been hurt bad. I had my back to him when he threw it I never saw it coming.
