Oldham's Soccer refs' refuse to officiate - safety

Floyd Montana

Fourteen football referees in Oldham's Sunday league are refusing to officiate, saying they fear for their safety on the pitch.

The referees are protesting, after three players banned for abusive behaviour were allowed to play again.

League officials said most matches were going ahead and said the referees had over-reacted.
