If you think that your last-game partner was a showboat, or that the ref you saw working a game last week was drawing attention... Grab hold because you've ain't seen nothing yet! I came across a really funny clip on the gmcgriff board, 'starring' a soccer referee... You must see this for yourself!!!

Since the direct URL doesn't seem to work, I'll just post a link to the gmcgriff board...

http://www.gmcgriff.com/refonline/ww...ssages/67.html

Once you are there click 'funny soccer referee'...

I'd like to read your reactions

Thumbs up wtf?

My lands! That was gr8! Where did you get that? He was crazy--don't tell me that he isn't from around here? MLB soccer? Wow...pretty good--it's all show, sometimes, eh? But, he had to be involved professionally. That just might be what some leagues need? Who knows...it sure would high-light our jobs (as referees),eh? Hmmm. Good one, dutch...thx

I can only hope that the game was a charity match to raise money for the city's ballet troope and they got one of the ballerinas to officiate as a publicity stunt. Wow.

You sent me an e-mail in which the only words were:

"See this, mon!"

I didn't know what you meant by that...

In reply to your questions in your post:

I came across it by coincidence while browsing the gmcgriff soccer board. I think the guy is from Italy (since the URL of that clip ends in '.it')... I really think it's a pity that we don't work with yellow and red cards as basketball refs, because I'd sure like to try to send a player of in such a way ....
