stupid remarks by fans and wittier comeback responses by the official

[mick]

During warm-ups there was a group of 12 16-18 year-old lads that already were hyped into the game (15 minutes before it started).

I strolled over to position and said "Hi, guys."
They returned the greeting.

I asked them to help me out if they "saw me kick any calls".

They had fun the whole game, but not at my expense.
