What a dick this ref is, throw the book at him
Equally hope he could have a bit of bantef with French fans after the game. Dont judge it by the standards of football.
What a dick this ref is, throw the book at him
I appreciate that there are a lot of things about Rugby that put football to shame.
However before getting carried away with "holier than thou" remember that this all started because one rugby player deliberately smashed his elbow into the face of another player who was trapped and couldn't move.
I'd be calling our player a daft t.wat for his actions and IF his actions cost us the game then I'd accept it, simple as.
As for the photo, that would never happen in English football so I can't answer that. Refs go AWOL after a match so Managers can't get at em so I don't think you'd find one in a bar
I'm all for this all mates in the bar idea, but that ref is basically stupid posing that way.
If the photograph is genuine the referee has most probably ended his career at international level.
The result won't be affected and correctly so even though there was some doubt about the validity of the winning try.
Can you imagine a ref in the county borough after a game having a photo with a local 😊
