Everything started fine, as such things usually do, two teams gathered together to participate in sport. Passes were crisp despite the slippery conditions, and neither side could gain an advantage. Five minutes in, one of their guys came in cleats up and it all went to shit.

The ref calls a foul, but doesn't issue a card. Play continues, then another of their guys hits our same guy hard from behind. Foul, no card. a few minutes later, it happens a third time. A card was issued, but it was against our guy, for complaining about the no card.

Things proceeded in the same vein for the rest of the first half - they come in late, no card, we knock one of them over, instant card. Tensions are running high. The half ends, still a 0-0 tie. We have four yellows at this point.

Second half starts, hard tackles continue, they score about ten minutes in to go up 1-0. Couple minutes later, our guy who got the first yellow comes in hard on a tackle and picks up his second yellow. He'd been fouled hard five times prior, only one of which got a yellow.

He loses it, our sideline loses it, three more players pick up yellows for saying various uncomplimentary things about the ref. The fans start chanting "donkey" in Spanish (burro). Some ask if he's going to card them too.

(Does a fan get carded? Dear readers, I think you all know the answer to that)

Five minutes after that, a fan gets red carded, along with our coach, when a sideline ref calls a shot that clearly went wide a goal (it ended up not counting). The chants grow in volume, and the center ref's virility and parentage are questioned.

Five minutes after *that*, one of our players gets fouled hard, no card, picks up his second yellow for saying something to the ref, another one of our coaches gets a red. The game ended shortly thereafter with us losing 1-0, and thirteen total cards to the other team's one.

I'm glad I was able to follow along during this adventurous season. It has reaffirmed my decision to stick to solo athletic activities.
