    A friend of mine refs in Semi pro football, and told me about this player who was already on a yellow. He put in a fairly hefty challenge for which he was penalised, and the player wasn't happy.
    Knowing that he was on thin ice, the player left it alone, but when the half time whistle went, the player came up to the ref and said:
    "Hey ref, can you get booked for what you're thinking?"
    "No."
    so the player says:
    "Well I'm thinking that your refereeing in the first half was the bigeest pile of #### I've ever witnessed".

    :D

    To be fair to the ref, he saw the funny side, and let the player off.

    Another Ref story from my old freind (Chairman at Scarbrough)

    Uria Renney. Manager queried a linesmans decision on an off side flag, after a few words with the linesman (who was white bye the way) and Renny came across. Manager said that was no way off side. Renney said, 'If the linesman said it was offside, it was, I decided it was 'off side' when I blew the whistle, So now you have it in Black & White, satisfied. :D :D :D

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Isn't that a reworking of the apocryphal Mick McCarthy tale?

    "Ref, what would you do if I called you a lovely person?"

    "I'd send you off Mick."

    "What if I just thought it?"

    "Nothing I can do about that."

    "In that case, I think you're a lovely person."

    Think they're all made up. Man City supporting friend of mine says that there's a similar tale involving Colin Bell and Clive Thomas.
