Blaming the ref
Once again we have the unsightly image of a ref being kicked while he is down and the mob, egged on by bloggers and TV replays, making sure they get one in as he rolls hopeless in the mud. Quality stuff of course. Refs deserve the abuse they get from the stands.
But what makes this story ugly is the way the writer is so keen to ask if such a such is the worst ref ever in the Premier League. Coming from a guy who has probably never rattled a pea in his life, it's a bit rich.
Refs are such easy targets and asking if one is the worst is an easy headline.
Why not ask whether Emmanuel Eboue is the worst player in the Premier League? Or would that upset a few influential people?
