Anyone any idea what happened here?
I love the way they pretty much leave the off screen AR on his own as they leave the pitch
 
The Ref Stop
Red player stamped on blue, blue retaliated with a scratch/punch (if you can call it that), AR1 lost his composure and forced the ref to abandon it. No need really. 2 reds and carry on.
 
If I understand well, red said something, blue responded, both red cards, then red must have said something like "f*cking asshole", so the blue responded again

Then the AR who seems a lot more experienced than the centre is taking way too much decisions

I think when they called the captains, they asked the blue one to remove his incriminated player off the ground, after a while, ref decide to abandon the game, hence the "look look he's leaving, ref !" at the end

Shame, one team speaks really good French, guess it's a Quebec team so this is some kind of international game
 
What a bizarre incident.

Not sure why the red player was walked, a little petulant trip maybe, the blue player swings a punch very badly so he deserved his red.

All around, what a mess from the officials.
 
Kept forwarding the video slightly expecting to see a fight break out.... what a strange decision to abandon the match! Perhaps something happened/was said that can't be seen on the camera
 
@Owen Webster I done exactly the same, was fully expecting some crazy mass brawl.

In fairness we've all been there when we've had enough and just fancy walking off to get home early, this ref is living out all our fantasies.
 
A flick of the heels and a swing of a little Man Bag , this is all back to making a game difficult for yourself

1) call them both over have a stern word
2) yellow card each for petulant behaviour
3) Red card each , have a flap , abandon the game
All the above are dependant on how the match had been played up to that point so its very hard to judge
but the players all looked rather passive to me ?
I think it may have been abandoned because something was going on behind the camera ?
 
I can't think why not... Do the LOTG specify white?? Honestly don't know but at a guess I don't think they do
 
I don't think it does specify lines, unlike posts which are specified as needing to be white.

Update: Just double checked- line colours are not specified.

He missed out my one with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and a hot tub .... :)

Looked like the Ref was crapping himself and the AR was making all the decisions.

Couldn't tell if it was a punch or a push.....?
