Couldn't be any worse than Dier running into the crowd to confront a fan like he's something out of WWE.

I’m not condoning violence at all. I read through a few articles, looks like two red cards, one at the 95th minute, followed a last minute equalizer. The president of the team who were about to win then stupidity attacked the ref.
This is an interesting article on Turkish football culture...
Attack on referee sums up Turkey’s toxic attitude towards officials
I liked this bit:
Rational football fans genuinely believe there are referees who conspire with their rival teams and are part of a footballing deep-state apparatus hellbent on sabotaging their progress.
Thank god there are no people like that on this forum.

He'd need a hop-up, wouldn't he?Levy in a tear up.
Pissing myself.
Thank you
They’re in the bin!
I kinda wish the general hatred towards refs in this country would stop. Sometimes the refs make mistakes, sometimes they make a correct decision that one team hates but they are human beings doing a very difficult job. Managers, players, pundits and fans in this country have been fueling it.
Players and managers have been taking the piss out of refs for years. Whether it is diving, abuse or time wasting, it has blighted our game. Correctly, the refs have and the authorities have tried to regain some power this season but there has been a strong pushback. You have idiots like Higginbottom and Artwata saying ludicrous things like "they are trying to ruin our game". There has been a general campaign by sky it seems to just get rid of refs altogether,
And then fans who say "rugby has it about right, they always get it right and they respect the ref etc..." but then those same fans can't respect the refs decision themselves and call for abuse. I tell those fans they can't have watched much rugby because the refs are getting it wrong all the time but everyone gets on with it.
Ange has it about right.

Hey, remember about ten years ago when in the lower leagues of Brazil someone fucking beheaded a ref on the field?
And that's the rational ones.
Well, I hope he got lifetime ban. Outrageous behaviour. What had the ref done?
Edit - here we are:
Brazil soccer referee killed during match; his head displayed on stake midfield
A soccer referee was beheaded and his head displayed atop a wooden stake at midfield after a match erupted in violence in Brazil.

The ref had stabbed a player to death, during a fight caused by a dispute about one of his decisions. Members of the crowd tied the ref up, stoned him to death, quartered him, beheaded him and stuck his head on a pole, which was displayed in the middle of the pitch.

Oh, well I forgot the full details.
Brazil referee decapitated after stabbing player
Football spectators in northern Brazil decapitate a referee after he fatally stabbed a player at an amateur game, officials say.
www.bbc.com
The Ref stabbed a player to death for refusing to leave the field, then spectators invaded the field, beheaded him, quartered his body, and stuck the head on a stake.
Yikes, Brazil is fucking scary.
Perhaps he's a Liverpool fan...lol
Midnight Express style!
Was about to mention that. Harrowing film that but half true that film how he escaped. Billy hayes story on national geographic tells the true story on how he escaped. Great film though.
Brilliant music too. Was it Vangelis?
