Top 10 examples of why it sucks to be a referee
Tags graham poll, premier league, referee, top 10
Today, I feel like Carlos Tevez looks. Or, bleeeeurgh. I'm on a course of antibiotics to fight a chest infection, but the antibiotics don't seem to working. Hmm, perhaps I didn't need to go to the pub last night and make four pints of Guinness disappear.
Guinness is not the best medicine, I discovered. Laughter is. So, in a bid to heal myself faster than any antibiotics can, and because I just can't bring myself to write about Man City's obscene interest in Kaka (I'll get around to it), I compiled a list of ref-related videos that make me laugh.
In no particular order:

1. Ref gets electric shock
I never tire of this. Yes, I'm easily pleased.

2. Ref gets red card snatched
Gotta love that cool Portuguese temperament.

3. Ref v Paolo di Canio
Everyone's favourite fascist saluter was banned for a staggering 11 games for this little shove. As for the ref (Paul Alcock: he put the cock in Alcock), he needs to learn how to dive.

4. Ref shows offf mad skills
An all-time classic. Public humiliation at its best.

5. Ref taken out by fierce clearance
Ow.

6. The drunken Belarusian ref
The nasty chants from the crowd don't hurt as much when you have a bottle of vodka inside you.

7. The ref take down
Impressive MMA skills.

8. When referees strike back
Being a ref can be a dangerous job. But this guy can bang.

9. When referees strike back 2
This has to be South America, right? Yeah, it's South America.

[b]10. The sneak attack
Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas merks Graham Poll. More public humiliation for refs - listen as the crowd cheers Poll's discomfort. Yeah, he's in pain!

wwwwow that ref on #8 has serious right hook. Bet the likes of the NFL, NBA, and even NHL don't have refs that are willing ta take a stand like that, and a swing. Maybe MLB, I swear even today some of those umps are from the deepest, darkest, pits of oger infested cities accross america.Posted 15 Jan 2009 at 11:41 AM by Alejo

Funny stuff. #9 though is definitely from Asia, not South America. At least from what I'm seeing, both clubs have Asians suited up.Posted 16 Jan 2009 at 05:43 PM by sprovi
