In summary, anyone who would actually want to be a referee should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Now that is hilarious! Nicely worked.

While we're talking about England players being sent off, just out of curiosity what did you think about Beckham's red against Argentina? I also thought that one was quite dodgy. It just seems to me that if a referee is going to influence the outcome of a game like that (for whatever reason) he better be damn sure about it.

I was in a huge sports club in New York and the place was filled to the rafters with English fans against their hated Aryle rivals.

That was probably the worst call I've seen. But it was even worse that game. England actually scored a goal with a man down and it was yanked.

So England got hosed all around. I never saw so many depressed guys after a game.

"what did you think about Beckham's red against Argentina?"

Yeah, we got screwed there. Beckham was naive and petulant and Simone pulled a con job that the referee fell for.
