Sorry for taking such a long time in responding and sorry for disappearing. Stopped refereeing a little while ago. Became very disillusioned with it all and p*ssed off with the games I was doing. Getting good level games, but just not any fun. Must have done the same team 5 or 6 times in...

Welcome to the forum mate. Your madness is mirrored by our own! :D

Welcome to the forum mate. :D

Got to agree with the above here Craig, if I was that referee I may have done exactly the same. Job one for being a CAR - do not offer the information that you are a referee yourself. I don't know if you did tell him (if you mentioned that, I missed it...) it doesn't help. Job two - do...

He is riding his luck. He is not the best tackler in the world, but somehow keeps avoiding red cards (and more luckily injuring someone) despite some awful tackles. Such a talent. Needs to spend a bit of time leaning some control.

Settle down please gentlemen.

Too much passion + very high speed + really unlucky player in the outcome. Clear red card. Agree with some of the above posters, thought bales was worse.

Don't do it!!! Worst kit(s) I have ever had. Almost lost a nipple. Don't say I didn't warn you!
