Who is your favourite ref?

[Assassin]

Once a ref always a ref

They should have cloned him. Football would have been all the better for it

[JohnDoe]

I think Paul Durkin used to be quite a decent ref, but right now they're all ****.

As for the biggest ****, it's definitely Webb followed by Atkinson. I might hate Atkinson even more since Webb is a manc lover while Atkinson clearly hates our guts.

I should add there was raucous laughter when the orange hit him and I'm extremely ashamed to say I was party to that laughter.

As completely disgraceful that is, it's human nature to find it bloody funny when a well-aimed fruit hits anyone on the bonce.

I'd love that to happen to one of the current crop.

The racial context is unspeakably bad though.

Yeah obviously I still would've laughed had the lino been a white man - it was the orange hitting him that I found funny. However most there were laughing especially hard cos he was an Indian fella and he was wearing a turban. You can imagine some of the bile aimed in his direction.

Yeah I can.

We had a very tall supply teacher with a turban. We used to call him the Turbanator. Disgraceful, but when you are 13, it is funny. You don't know any better, particularly when there is so much casual racism at school.

I was once the first on the bus after school and lobbed my bag onto the back seat. Didn't notice him sitting there, and it hit him in the face. Big bag too. That was a low moment. I felt dreadful, kinda apologised, but that really didn't help. It had nothing to who it was, just a stupid accident, but that was low point.

[Chrono]

Why is saying the Turbanator racist? He might have found it funny to be honest.

[dom9]

He didn't.

[Chrono]

What was disgraceful about it?

[pondus]

They're all cunts. Fact.

[Shaggy]

Anyone fancy an 'old school ref-off'?

Well, I'm not comfortable with it now.

I certainly wouldn't refer to a Sikh in that way again.

I'll take your Milford and I raise you Paul Durkin

I raise you George Courtney.

[Craig_H]

**** you all. Clive Thomas

[dom9]

I raise you George Courtney.
