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
