[Football] Ref gets three week ban for usingRock, Paper, Scissors after forgetting coin for coin toss

[BLOCK F]

A rap over the knuckles whilst in the rock position would have sufficed as punishment, I reckon.

What a ****ing world we live in these days.

Humourless twats everywhere.

I think I saw a ref using a special coin the other day on tv- it looked a bit like a big silver foil covered chocolate coin. So maybe they do have a special one.

Why didn’t he just go back and get his coin?

Perhaps he'd eaten it?

Keith Hackett has lodged a letter of complaint to the FA about treatment of ref McNamara and described Joanna Stimpson's comment that it was a 'moment of madness' as completely unacceptable. Low level refs are planning to have a Rock, Paper Scissors weekend instead of a coin toss in support of McNamara. Bet Stimpson is regretting her little power squeak now!

Perhaps the Premier League can redirect some of their money to give a quid to all the referees on the FA’s books. Seems like a better cause than Scudamore’s.

The rules of football state a coin toss, so therefore he broke the rules of the game by being too lazy to go back and get the coin.

Well done for the snidey sexism slipped in there.

Laws contain rules.

I'm in favor of what the short lived XFL in the USA did... a guy separated his shoulder during the very first one.

For those not familiar, the XFL was started by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and failed spectacularly after one season.

Would rather football use 'rock, paper, scissors'. It would add to the game. Players will be judged not only on their football ability, but their mind reading powers too.

Referee David McNamara has decided to appeal against his three-week ban for using a game of rock, paper, scissors in place of a coin toss.

The suspension led to scores of referees across the country using the method on Saturday in support.
