Thorpey Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Run the local pub team and knew the ref cried off Friday for the game this morning and I had a few too many during the Watford day out and beyond. Lad in the local said he'd ref last night then I get a text at 9.20 this morning saying his 'heads in the shed'. Southern thing?? No idea. Ended up doing it myself (qualified ref me) and got loads of shit off the oppo for not giving them a pen in first half. Two in the book and then second half it went mental. They moaned like fuck all game and it finally did my head in after about 80 mins. Yet another moan so I give it the 'stop moaning you f***** c*** you're doing my f***** head in. He (20 year old gobby shite) puts his head on mine, I (approaching 50) rip the ref shirt off and get him off the pitch while it kicks off behind. I get my own way. Still buzzing from yesterday otherwise I probably wouldn't have done it. Why do Sunday refs get up for £30 and get loads of shite?? A few pints later and I'm feeling good .... topped up.

tomski Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Fair play for doing it, it really is an unrewarding job. For what they get paid it wouldn't be something that interests me. The amount of hassle etc. Could end up not having enough refs in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydee Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 There's not enough refs now. Football could/should learn from the egg chuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpey Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 There's not enough refs now. Football could/should learn from the egg chuckers. Too many piss heads and smack heads on a Sunday morning to show any respect to a ref. One called me 'Sir' today and I knew straight away he was an egg chucker. Fair play. Football could learn so much at all levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane57 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Used to ref the Under 12s in Radcliffe for £20 a match - good money for 20min each way. No grief, no earache, was great. Had to go to Radcliffe though which was a pisser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) When I was a "poor student" in Preston, I used to referee two games in Bolton every Saturday morning and use the money to get pissed and watch the Whites, Ii'd then crash at my parents' and do two more on the Sunday before going back to my digs. Maybe that's why I'm a cunt. Edited November 25, 2013 by Traf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
