Match Officials Mic’d Up

Post by JudgeTedd »

A new show that proves a few things….

VAR is being mid-used
Refs are too excitable
Michael Owen is a boring twat

There must be someone old enough with a good memory to recall a TV programme when a referee had a mike. I faintly remember it was a Division 1 match, and I think Wolves was one of the teams.
There was one part of the 'conversation' from the referee with something on the lines of; "If you call me a wanker once more........"

There was a programme where the Ref got mic’d up in 1989. The game in question was Millwall at home to Arsenal. Someone, somewhat unfortunately, hadn’t informed the Arsenal players this was going ahead. So during the game the Millwall players were acting all angelic and as if butter wouldn’t melt. Meanwhile Tony Adams and the boys were giving the officials both barrels at every opportunity.

George Graham even went to remonstrate with officials in their changing room, but quickly made a hasty retreat upon spying the tv film crew in there.

Yeah. Adams was repeatedly calling Elleray a cheat. A drunk verses a school master, different times.

He was a schoolmaster at Harrow. They had 'masters' 'not teachers'.
I'd love to have seen him try that method of speaking at a'bog standard' comp.

All the problems with VAR are purely because all the referees and VAR minions are intellectually subnormal Northern shitwits. No offence.
