Didn't think I's ever say this, but Keith Stroud is not the worst referee going.......
Just seen on BBC Sport website a ref sending off a player for not "exiting the pitch in accordance to the laws".
Glentoran player was being subbed & he was 2/3rd's to one side of the pitch. Saw that he was being subbed & naturally went off towards the subs bench as has been the norm for, well, forever. He trotted over to the bench......yes, he actually trotted. He didn't saunter, or shake hands with team mates, or hand the armband over to someone, he actually trotted off. Referee then gave him a yellow card & that being his 2nd he promptly gave him a red. Apart from the fact he took less time than most players ever do to leave the field (go on, watch it) what is the point of a yellow card in that instance ??
Refs really do think its all about them & not the game.
The lunatics run the asylum and common sense goes out of the window.
