Sounds like you performed a public service.This is fuck all to do with Dean, but I actually did something similar to what you suggest when I used to play.
We'd just finished a match (we won) on the shittest pitch we'd ever played on, in the middle of nowhere & a dilapidated portacabin for a changing room & the ref was a total **** throughout the match.
As we were walking off the pitch, somebody said "is there any chance of having a shower somewhere?"
I responded with , "you're fucking joking, you've got more chance of getting a fucking bus to Mars"
As I said, the game had finished & we were walking off the pitch. All of a sudden I heard, "Number 10, come here". I walked over to him & said "yes ref". He didn't say a word. What he did do was pull out a red card & told me it was for offensive language.
I was slightly miffed, but my manager got hold of me & dragged me off the pitch.
We went to the pub for the usual after-match food & a pint, then the ref pulled up in his car. My manager decided we should all go outside because of how fucked off I was with the ref.
As I was stood outside with the rest of my team, I noticed that the ref was at the bar with a pint of his own, which he finished & then ordered another one. We stayed outside for another pint and a fag, and I noticed he bought yet another pint.
Sweet. I said to the boys, "watch this" Out came my mobile, followed by a swift call to the local police station, to report seeing somebody pull into the pub in a car & they were on their 3rd pint. I gave his registration number, hung up & went back to my rather amused team-mates.
At our next training session, my manager handed me the local paper & told me to turn to the crime section. Waddya know. Mr Robin Gregory, a referee for the CFA (Cornwall Football Association) had been pulled up under suspicion of drink driving, was over the limit & had been banned from driving for 18 months & given a £200 fine.
I didn't give a fuck. The **** shouldn't have sent me off. Plus he's a prick for drink driving anyway.
Best of all, We appealed my red card, the CFA agreed I didn't use offensive language & I didn't have a ban or the £35 fine for the red card.
I don't like **** refs.
