What's the most insane incident you've encountered as a referee?
Late in my game today (88 mins or so), away team goes 5-4 up in a ding-dong game
I'm always slow with my notebook, watchful of potential nonsense. Noting the score, I hear a player boot the ball, I looked up to see it sail into the wind and over the keeper, (Jonjo Shelvey eat ur heart out). Goal; except that there was no whistle... that is until the ball had begun its decent towards (what I thought) was my grave
To add to my surprise, it didn't cause much grief, as most of the players were accepting of the fact the whistle hadn't gone
Players spontaneously agreeing with the rules... what next!!?
