Good evening, gentlemen.

How are you?

What about you?

Exactly who would be a referee, but it certainly wouldn't be me.

I have played in charity games with ex-professional footballers, and I have never seen or heard the like.

They hound referees constantly, absolutely constantly.

Loud shout.

You can watch it.

There was a demoralised guy the other night, headed the ball out the park,

and then claimed that it wasn't him.

I mean, he was standing himself.

So it's this, or the referee did this, and why was Askew allowed to say that?

Is he just one of the Holy Trinity that can't be criticised?

Him, St Martin, and Mikey Moore at Rangers.

He was absolutely horrendous last Wednesday night, and not one person mentioned it.

And then you've got that.

football managers game last night these two guys 10 yards apart and ask who knows that they're both going to make that challenge what if somebody had come in at the back of Kenny McLean during the Denmark game is that a goal scoring opportunity and that's it

I would just like to see penalties actually meaning that, and when you're talking about rugby, it seems to me that penalties in rugby tend to give you a much bigger advantage than penalties in football.

For example...

the horrendous tackle that the Motherwell player got sent off for last Wednesday night.
