1. The get a corner. I'm marking a guy and we both push and shove a little. the ref blows, the opponent thinks he's gotten the free kick against him and is flabbergasted when it turns out that they have gotten a penalty. 0-1.
2. Blatant offside. The linesman flags, the ref ignores it. 0-2.
3. Our captain put in a hard, but fair challenge. Straight red.
4. One of our players reacts to the red card by saying "Come on ref, you're killing the game" (without using abusive language). Yellow card. He then get's another yellow for being to slow in walking up to the ref to receive his yellow. He's off.
5. The opponent scores one more in the first half.
6. We score 1-3 within a couple of minutes in to the second half.
7. A few minutes later one of their players does a very obvious "Maradona hand of God" in our penalty area. The ref doesn't see it. Our (vice) captain. Goes over to talk to the ref and hits his hands together to emphasize that it was handball. he gets a straight red and a 4 match ban for violent conduct.
With 35 minutes left of the game we were down to 8 men, but somehow managed to not concede and actually won the second half ;-)
But it's the worst ref I've ever had. We're quite a nice team, but somehow ended up with three players sent off, despite not swearing or using abusive language (it's very sensitive over here since the terrible incident with the linesman a few weeks back).
Were you playing a team called Manchester United by any chance?
dunno, but I heard They were wearing light Blue kits.... typical City.
Totally feel your pain Nooly. Had that sort of crap on more than one occasion. We played Man U*****d Supporters' Club a while back. The ref turned up fifteen minutes after k.o. (his bike pedal had broken, the fat shit), we weren't too impressed, but there was much backslapping and joviality from the scum, most of whom he clearly knew. It was 0-0 on his arrival. We went in at ht 2 up.
Second half, the guy just turns weird - every fifty fifty decision goes their way, and every 60/40, and 80-20. He gets worse after they score. We manage to hold on til 90 odd minutes, but the ref just plays on and on. Cue a melee in our area, a few desperate goal-line clearances from our lot; we're battling valiantly, determined to hold on to a hard earnt three points - shot fired in smacks a guy who's on the floor trying to get up out of the cold sucking mud, twatting him on the arm and knocking him over. Ref gives a penalty and sends him off. One cb down, they score the penalty. You know the script - the ref played a strikingly familiar FIFTEEN MINUTES extra, and we lose three-two with ten men due to a joke decision.
He started his watch when he started reffing, not taking into account the fact that his morbidly obese, recalictrant ass had waddled on quarter of an hour into the first half. Which we were also telling him might be the reason for the Fergietime. Collossal prick. A common thief at best.
