Funny story from Thailand

[Tooting Gull]

Before the Mickey Mousers’ game against the Thai national team, Houllier takes the (local and star-struck) referee to one side, explaining to him he intends to make wholesale changes to his side after nearly an hour. The official, both incompetent and fawning, completely gets the wrong end of the stick, and plays a 55-minute first half to accede with Gerard’s wishes as he understood them, followed by a 45-minute second half, to general bemusement. Well played.

As opposed to Sir Alex Taggart, who likes to take Premiership referees to one side and explain that here at Old Trafford, the game doesn't finish until Man United have equalised.

And then moans about him anyway.
