Bloody Refs
 |
| Another ref being led away for his own good! |
I was watching a game at the weekend in the Thai Regional
league and was fascinated by the ref’s performance. Yes, I know they have a
hard job blah blah blah but surely that job would be easier if he understood
the rules of the game?
Does any ref in this part of the world ever play the
advantage? Agreed, stopping play and rushing up to a player and abruptly
sticking a card in their face is what the job is all about. Working all week in
a dead end job, nagged by their missus and unable to go out with the lads to
the nearest karaoke, being a ref means that the insignificant can suddenly get
some power and boy do they use it.
The actual laws of the game, allowing the
game to flow, these are irrelevant to the man with a uniform fetish, a pea in
his whistle and the opportunity to lord it over players who earn heaps more
than him.
