Maybe that is the problem right there. If every Ref stuck to the letterof the law for every single game like a robot then every team would be down to 7 or 8 men every game. People would get pissed off and stop going to matches or tuning into matches on TV and Cricket would then be where the money is. I was at the Portsmouth game behind the goal and tbh I was f***ing angry with the Ref that day, especially when he somehow managed to be the only person on the planet besides A@A who did not see attemped murder on Ronaldo as a penalty, the result being I had to rip my treble bet up. It was only £800 I know, but that is better than a kick in the left testicle. Even so, on the way home when I listened to our managements comments, I did let out a f***ing big groan.
