The Ref Stop

Red card for chest bump to ref (Belgian league)

The Ref Stop
Once had a promotion candidate greet me with a chest bump when I arrived at the ground. He soon realised his behaviour was inappropriate.
 
I once had a player walk up to me, after I booked him, and deliberately bump his shoulder into my chest. Easy red card.
That got quite messy in the fallout from that.....

I hate the manhandling that goes on in televised matches, needs more red cards.
 
Thinking about this, I would be interested to see what would happen if a player attempted a chest bump on me. I'm a big lad (a commanding presence and athletic looking - assessors words, who am I to argue!) plus I move very quick for someone of my size.

Doubt it would end well for them.

This reminds me of a paddy power advert (?) with huge steroided up monsters refereeing. Nobody would mess with them was the message. The reality is even the smallest little mouthy git is Mike Tyson once the whistle blows. :)

I've had biggish players (5'10" and around 90Kg) run into me some by accident, some on purpose.

I've helped them up from the grass. All of my mates tagged me in the ad above on FB. I can't run as much in the gym any more so I work the bike and do upper body weights. Slightly worried that I weigh as much as Tyson Fury.

Good refereeing, however, I did think that the bloke who was sent off was fouled in the original challenge. No excuse for approaching the referee like that though, straight red.

Althletic looking? Does that mean he was disappointed with the actual athleticism mate? :p:D
