Referee wearing tracksuit and trainers - all the warning signs were there. It was an aberration waiting to happen!
Funnily enough, that crossed my mind when I read it. I've not reffed my boy yet, and I'd like to think it wouldn't affect me one bit .... but you don't know how you're going to react to a certain situation till you're in it."It later transpired that the Malaga back who had been late-tackled was the son of the referee." Maybe one good reason to never coach or referee one's own offspring... you're too close.
i have a suspicion that it can also go both ways --as well as being protective of their own son, equally I suspect there are for more instances of Dads giving a RC to their own son than pure chance would predict.
Pure chance would think it was very rare, as RCs are very rare, and if your son played in every single game you ever reffed he would receive about 1 in 36 cards (30+6 subs) of the RC you issued..
I bet very few refs heve given 36 RCs in their entire career, let alone 36 RC in games where their son was playing..
Yet RC to own son does happen - - I can remember one or two threads here where it has happened.
If you leave the trailer park without changing your clothes, then you may forget you're not on the trailer park when you need to make a decision about how to respond to non-benign activity. Thank goodness he didn't pull a gun!his clothes and shoes tell you that he's prone to punch unsuspecting kids?
If you change "son" to "child" then you get to include ST!Yet RC to own son does happen - - I can remember one or two threads here where it has happened.

No. Not getting spoken to for a week constitutes pure bliss. :biggrin:Dose not getting spoken to for a week constitute abuse?
