Forum is the picture your trying to paint

, real life, here's my take on it for those that weren't there:
At half time I was talking to the Ref in the centre circle (maybe right maybe wrong), but was talking to him in a calm and non threating manner.
GIAE started walking over from the sideline, a fair distance away, as though to instigate something (which he certainly got). As he got to the centre circle walked round the outside, while myself and the Ref were in the centre talking. He laughed as he was walking and said under his breath, clearly so I could hear it "Whinging *****".
I turned and said "STFU Hawksey" at that point hawksey with the flag in his hand turned towards me in a threatning manner, yelling "What are you going to do about it" "huh huh"
moving towards me, till he got in my face yelling "What are you going to do about it". With his arms raised, at that point, I suppose my instincts kicked in as an x boxer, I slapped him on the forhead to subdue him, then raised my guard to defend myself.
I never left the centre circle and I never took my eyes of him and his hands, and I never attempted to throw any punches unless I had to. I think for about 10 secs he was stunned. By this time most of
my team mates arrived to restrain hawksey and myself, which once he was held he exploded again.
During the second half, GIAE continued to make gestures towards me from the sidelines whilst I was playing, I think he was trying to tell me his was going to sub himself on, to do what I am not sure. Maybe you can explain this one for our fellow formites?
I did go up to GIAE after the game and shook his hand, so that we could leave it at that. But he seems to be painting such a pretty picture of himself and trying to make Cruehead the fool.
I would do it again if presented with the same situation again. Sorry but you deserved what you got.
