    I used to run the line for a local team in the dizzy heights of the east Cornwall premier league. On my second game I was standing by the halfway line. We won a penalty and I edged closer to look. Penalty was saved, keeper boots it out, I look up and the striker was miles off. Raised my flag, ref blew for offside.

    I was about 5 yards in the wrong half..

    The crowd (25ish people) went mad, I just wanted the proverbial ground to swallow me up.

    Won Linesman of the year.

    Why is a match official using the word 'we' to describe one of the teams playing in a match they're officiating at?

    Just wondering like.

    Well this transcript does make them look like the bloody chuckle brothers. How about cutting down on the the "mate", "boys" and "Daz" shite and sounding a bit more profession rather than like you're down the dog and duck on the fruit machine.

    If they got some drilled military personnel in this, the kind of people who ran drones in Afghanistan and who are trained to the absolute letter life and death to what they are doing, they would not get something as basic as that wrong.

    It wouldn't even need to be military precision, go into any A&E ward in the country and doctors, nurses and midwives operate with more synchrony and accuracy than that bunch of clowns. It's about basic training, having a clear system and operating it professionally. Not hard, they are just making it look that way.

    The audio is honestly like a comedy outfit have dubbed some footage over an actual game. Hilariously bad.

    It's a demonstration of a half-arsed unprofessional shambolic catastrofuck. Fertile ground for comedy.

    No wonder they get so many decisions wrong, and don't look at the right things, if that's representative of the the genre. Talk about a complete waste of time. I hope it's worth missing your trains for.

    You see Pete, that's how you put an off topic sting in the end of your post.

    So how are we feeling about "highly trained professionals at the peak of their game"?

    I was a representative of the club, but was scrupulously honest, much to the annoyance of our defence.

    My brother Deano did indeed miss his train due to the added minutes. This thing is literally ruining lives.
