Who’d want to be a ref anyway? All that stomping around, shouting and getting angry – and that’s from the players and supporters.
So what happens when an amateur star-studded football team tries to play 11-a-side without a ref?
About the same as what happens to any football game played without a ref –chaos and farce.
The FA Respect video kicks off their campaign to stamp out dissent in football; highlighting the important job the referees do; encourage more people into the game but also bringing to light the level of abuse that takes place on and off the pitch.
Featuring England Manager Fabio Capello, top referee Howard Webb and ex-pros and footballing celebrities, including Mark Bright and Les Ferdinand.
You can visit the FA’s Respect site by clicking here. I would highly recommend all football fans take a few minutes to check out the site. Hope you enjoyed the video as much as we did!
Today I got an email from a regular reader (FrankieBhoy67), he said he is a Glasgow Celtic season ticket holder. He said he had two tickets for the UEFA cup final which is next week, between Celtics’ arch rivals Glasgow Rangers, and Zenit St Petersburg of Russia. He included the image of his tickets (above) and said “I’d rather burn these than let 2 h** b****rds go to Manchester”. After a quick check of ebay I realised these tickets are changing hands for more than £1500 a pair. I thought he was only joking, and was shocked to check my mail after lunch and see this video of him actually carrying out his threat.
