So local cup fixture today, red vs blue, a cracking end to end football with not a single long pass.the only time ball left floor was for throw ins.
While match going on I realise there is a rugby match going on next field, cup game as well.
I get approached from rugby home team boff, saying that their referee complained at the pitch of my whistle and I should blow my whistle quieter....
I burst into laugh... I was in stitches, while boff looked at me rather... ehm... displeased.
I thought it was a wind up and I agreed while still trying to stop laughing.
So for second half I decided to change whistle, swapping my Fox40 for my Sonik Blast, and every time I had to stop game blew with full lungs(I think they must have heard me in next county).
End of rugby game ref came over to my side, by now I just started ET, (should have seen him in his pink kit all the way to pink boots as well) and stood there for all the ET.
Score level still so penalties, rugby ref tries to come over... Stern get off the pitch... He then went. Most of players asked what was that all about....
