We are drained, physically and emotionally, and we sit down to enjoy a cold drink, make ourselves comfortable and try to wind down. But for some reason, we are unable to switch off. In our minds we go over each and every one of the decisions we have made. We wonder what other members of the refereeing body will think of what we have done. We worry about having made mistakes, and the objections of the spectators are still ringing in our ears. We keep telling ourselves: “Forget the game”, and we try to do so.
