Funny videos, stories, pics about Sunday/Pub league football. Whatever you got basically.
I've watched a lot of parks football and it always amazes me that when someone on the sideline unwillingly gets coaxed into being ref or more often lino they'll do the best job they can, but the players will still give them massive amounts of shit over decisions as if the guy was reffing the Champions League final and pocketing millions for it despite all the players having literally just seen the guy getting harassed into reluctantly officiating.Sunday league story here
I attended a game between the Nine Giants pub
and some side I'm sure was from somewhere in the vallies many years ago
My brother younger brother played for the nine giants So I tagged along to watch
they did not have a ref for the game or he did not turn up or something
Muggings here was press ganged into reffing
(No linos) so I unwillingly reffed the game
I gave a penalty to the other side
The nine giants won by a silly amount 7-2 or something
But I came away unscathed
And i only tagged along just incase a few didn't turn up or couldn't turn up and I'd get a game as the
midfield general
I even got em to call me sir
I did not have the power or authority to brandish cards though
I think now I have the right to critique reffereeing
performances due to me being in the trenches of reffereeing
it's a piece of piss![]()

I've seen a volunteer linesman pick up the flag, make his very first call, get shit off the players, put the flag down immediately and walk back to his mates on the halfway line to continue as spectator only.

When I was in Uni at Loughborough there was a really competitive inter Hall competition.
Our side for example had a Button Albion player and a couple of Inter Cardiff youth lads playing and we only had about 150 to choose from.
Anyway, the captain of each team had to ref the other games.
It was a pain in the arse, no linesmen and an artificial pitch, went end to end in seconds with all those fast kids playing.
Anyway 1 game I must have missed loads and just wanted to fuck off and have a pint, when some lad started moaning at me.
My reaction was ‘I really don’t give a shit who wins and I don’t really want to be here. I might be shit but it’s the same for both sides. And don’t forget, you are playing my side next week and I’m going to kick the crap out of you if you don’t shut up’
Easier to say in a student game than it was in the Rhymney Valley League![]()
The standard up there was unreal.
A couple of ringers playing then Tim
the only fuckers that were moaning
were my brother n his team mates
the ones who asked me
I wouldnt do it again though![]()
The standard up there was unreal.
The Uni first team played against all the top Midlands youth sides, Villa, Wolves, Forest, Leicester etc and regularly beat them.
I arranged a friendly for our hall side against Loughborough Town who I also played for, for a bit and were at about level 9 or 10 in the English pyramid. We played at grounds with stands, crowds, programmes etc, about level with the lower divisions of the Welsh League.
The Hall team beat them 3-1 !
Fair play Tim
I see you as a centre half mate
Being a stocky fucker like
did many of the youngsters make it through to the
first teams then
Remember when QPR got knocked out of the fa cup by Vauxhall motors, the next time we played them we sang "Lost to a garage, you fucking lost to a garage"We played them the week after I think, chants of 'You got beaten, ny Nuneaton, la, la, la, la, la, la...'![]()
