Stand by your decision
-
To show that you are in control and of good temperament you
should stand by any decision you make and reject any feeling
of guilt, If a decision is challenged you might have to
explain some aspect of Law to the player(s) concerned. Other
than that, you should not offer any explanation other than to
say you have made your judgement on what you have seen and
heard. You could also say something like, "It's obvious we
disagree on what has happened but the decision has been made
so let's get on with the game"
If an error has been made, you must NEVER try to even it up as two mistakes over the one incident leads to a loss of respect
