i am looking forward to watching this ref "perform" tomorrow night at Pontcanna Fields in the Cardiff & District Division Two game between Tiger Town and Memory Lane Cosmos.
I'm not sure whether i've seen him before, so let's hope i'm not disappointed!

Seeing as we are sharing stories regarding this man....
Cardiff Corries Reserves Vs UWIC Reserves 2010/11:
UWIC team sheet placed in the room marked "referees" at the ground. Our friend changes in a different room to that marked "referees." Therefore he doesn't get the team sheet that was left in the referees room 50 minutes prior to kick off, says nothing to UWIC, and lets the game kick off (baring in mind now, that he is doing so without having the names of any UWIC players as a result.)
Half time arrives and the UWIC coach wants to make a substitution, only to be told that he hasn't been given any of names for substitutes so he will not allow any of the 5 UWIC substitutes to come on. Refused to be budged on this. In a nutshell, he was happy to say nothing and allow the game to begin without the names of any UWIC players, but when it suited him to make a point he says what he did.
A letter of complaint was sent to the WL Committee regarding this by the UWIC Reserve Manager. Guess what was done about it.......

And, as I say, seeing as we are sharing:
Pontyclun Vs UWIC 2010/11:
Midweek game, 18:15 kick off. Just prior to kick off a colour clash with socks is identified. UWIOC agree they will change their socks to accomodate. 18:15 arrives. Our friend blows his whistle and insists that the game starts. "It's 18:15, so we are kicking off."
UWIC have just 6 players on the field. Everyone is going crazy on the line. He allows Pontyclun to kick off, who attack the UWIC goal and score immediately.
Again, this was reported to the Welsh Football League - guess what happened....

And, as I say, seeing as we are sharing: Powerleagues, Cardiff (For those who don't know, a place where friends join up to play for enjoyment in leagues against other groups of friends and workmates - so a social thing really) Player says "Oh no we haven't got you have we" when he sees him in the bar before the game. Red Card. Refuses to start the match with the player concerned on the pitch and only starts when his decision is accepted. McFly sang a song about this guy  |

My work mate says this is the one who sent him off for picking up 2 yellow cards in the first half of a game.Funny thing is that my mate is 34 and had only ever once picked up a yellow card in 20 odd years on the local parks. He moaned on about how hard done by he was for weeks and I just thought that maybe he was trying to pull the lead but it looks as if he's been a victim too. First yellow card was because an opponent took a quick free keek against his legs to get him into trouble and the second was for him telling the referee he had no chance of getting out of the way and that the opposition had played for it !!!! He also booked another 3 players for protesting without any swearing. Apparently there's no appeals process for yellows either so this fella must be some sort of FA fundraiser!!

No shenanigans to report from last night. He apparently did a rigorous check of tape colour being used and made the keepers take their gloves off to check for rings, but having made the effort to watch this game I was slightly under-whelmed by the lack of yellow cards and controversy!

Hopefully him being brought to task has had some sort of postive impact!
