What do you do?

Become the new "referee"

As the players began filing out for the second half, your mind was still trying to decide on how you were going to get to them. Despite your brain lagging, your body was pulling yourself forward, preparing to leap out of the stands. You leapt, finally realising it was too late to back out. You landed, now ground level and attracting attention around you. A security guard was already right up in your face and trying to apprehend you. Knowing you had no control of him, you turned to the returning players and made a plea.

"Tell him I'm- I'm-" your mind searched for a word, "ref?"

A few looked at you confused, but soon, you could hear them.

"Get off of him! He's reffing the game!"

"What are you gonna do next? Punch the managers?"

"Even I wouldn't **** a referee!"

The guard finally relented, eyeing you. You relaxed and thanked the players, who looked confused as to why they were defending you. As the players got into position, you stood on the edge of the pitch, centreline, and watched as the game recommenced. Now that the players believed you were a referee, you could make them do anything and they'd think it was part of the game. But when do you feel comfortable interrupting the game?

When do you jump in?
