You weren't reffing this one were you !

From the BBC :-

A referee ordered a penalty to be retaken in a Sunday league football game when an opposition player broke wind as the ball was kicked.

The Chorlton Villa player got a yellow card for the noise which was classed as "ungentlemanly conduct".

The team, who conceded a goal on the second take, went on to win the match 6-4 against International Manchester FC at Turn Moss in Stretford, Manchester.

Villa manager Ian Treadwell said their conduct was "normally exemplary".

 We are not a dirty team and we like to play football

"One of our players 'broke wind' and only the referee heard it and he booked the player," he said.

Nope, fraid not.

I can however suggest at least two officials of me experience who would not only have done this but would tell every bugger and his dog about it, email all his friends and family with the link etc.

I may not be worlds greatest ref nor (as is patently obvious) the most popular guy on this forum but I would never even think of doing anything as pathetic as that

Phil, did you know a very old, old bloke who reffed sunday league games called Tommy who died recently. There was a minutes silence for him before games at Hough End apparently according to Rich?
