Can anyone mind, maybe about ten years ago, a ref handling a Liverpool game at Annfield ran up the pitch to half-way line, leaping around and clapping like an idiot, after Liverpool had scored?

The explanation was that he was really pleased with himself for applying the advantage rule to Liverpool when everyone else was screaming for a foul....

I must admit it didn't look good - he probably had them on a fixed odds correct score coupon....  :017:

I would have expected him to at least be wearing the same socks as his team mates if he was the goallie

From the Guardian

Question - "A few years ago in the Premiership, a referee pumped his fist with an exclamation of 'yes!' when a player scored a goal in a certain game. The referee later claimed that he was so pumped because he had allowed play to go on instead of blowing for a foul in the build-up, and was chuffed with his own free-flowing refereeing. So who was the ref? What teams were playing, and who scored the goal? And where is our friend the enthusiastic referee now?"

Answer - "The nugget in question was Mike Reed, who knocked seven bells out of fresh air when Patrik Berger put Liverpool ahead against Leeds during their 3-1 win on 5 February 2000. Reed did indeed claim he was made up with his own performance, having waved play on after Vladimir Smicer was fouled in the build-up, but the FA were not particularly enamoured with his public display of self-loving.

"Having considered the available information, we have issued a reprimand and a warning to Mike Reed," warbled a spokesman. "While we understand the emotions involved, it is essential that match officials do not make gestures which could lead to misinterpretation. The impartiality of our officials must not be open to question. Mr Reed has been warned to keep his emotions under control in future or face further action."

He did, but not for long: it was Reed's last season as a professional referee."
