Referee Practices Looking

December 12th, 2012

Football fans have been treated to a number of daft decisions and explanations from Sepp Blatter and his motly crew over goal line technoology and a whole host of other things over the past few years, but this next clip kind of sums it all up.

Introduced to European club competition last season, the infamous ‘fifth referee’ has become another fad that hasn’t exacly come off for European football’s governing body. People question whether they actually do anything and this latet video, picked up on Dutch TV, only strengthens the arguement that these extra officials are just plain pointless.

Take a look at this unnamed official practicing his ‘looking technique’ ahead of a Europa cup game this year.

Let’s hope he spotted that imaginary ball crossing the line and gave an imaginary goal, eh?
