Cute story. Did she give you an extra $20 after the game?
(You McGriff readers should get it...)
A wise old ref once told me, half jokingly, to kinda
grab your cheek in an obvious way as you walk away from
fans who are getting to you. If there's a complaint,
well, you were "adjusting yourself", if you know what I
mean. Jump forward a few years and I try this. Game
moves on, I find myself at trail waiting for the ball to
come in by my new friends and I hear a shy voice saying "Hey ref, can you do that again?" I had to turn
around, it must have been your friend, she had the same
wicked smile.
