Respect the Refs, Damnit.

By: chris | August 8th, 2008

This one’s for you, Ashley Cole. And Poland.

Refs who aren’t on the payroll of Italian teams have a rough job, as it’s not one most people brimming with sanity would take. When they’re perfect, it’s nothing more than the basic expectation. When they’re wrong, it’s armageddon. So damnit, the English FA wants them the fans to show them some respect! Now if only the ad wasn’t so damn cheesy. And I don’t doubt for a second this was half for the refs, half to show off Fabio Capello’s English speaking skillz.

    they should just have more referees or better technology etc, the fans have every right to get mad over a disallowed pk,help the refs to get it right, not the fans, you could never change all of the fans.

    Look Shut up. You’re too much of an idiot to comment on anything. Football/Soccer isn’t a form of Government where you have Rights and such. It’s a game, play it or watch it, just quit your bitching. Argue about something worth while like how badly your actual government is f*cking you.

    Just in Dustin, none of what you said was relevant.

    I say just in, I’m aware this is from August. It’s just the funniest thing I’ve typed for ages, and it rhymed.

    Ahhhh refs, I dislike them and love them all in one big mess of emotions. When they get it wrong it feels like you’ve been literally mugged, when they get it right they don’t get anything, they’re like goalkeepers.
