Hmm..taking things a little bit too far I think.

Re: Refereeing in South America
And I bet the fans weren't even chanting "lets go f***ing mental" either. Seems that things might of not gone according to plan and I would not be surprised if it happened again in the future sadly. Wasn't there a ref killed in Holland by a load of school kids or something recently.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.
Re: Refereeing in South America
Who'd be a referee in Brazil? Needing a knife in your pocket just to step into the field? Pure insanity.

"They are currently viewing video footage of the incident filmed by a witness with a mobile phone"
So people are butchering someone and this is your instinct ?
Amazing.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

We're hardly immune from that in this country though, Bobo. As displayed in Woolwich only what, six weeks ago?bobo the clown wrote:"They are currently viewing video footage of the incident filmed by a witness with a mobile phone"

Yes ... sorry. It wasn't a "Brazil" comment ... it was a "what are we becoming" thing.Bruce Rioja wrote:We're hardly immune from that in this country though, Bobo.

This'll be the same Brazil that's hosting the next world cup and Olympics then. 
Hope is what keeps us going.
Re: Refereeing in South America
Taking such video may help bring about some justice for this lynching?

Well, yes, but ... and maybe I'm wrong here ..., I doubt it was the motivation so much as a morbid sense of thrill.Athers wrote:Taking such video may help bring about some justice for this lynching?
That said, the referee/victim had just stabbed and murdered someone himself.

Re: Refereeing in South America
Fecking Hell. I hadn't come across this story until I read it here first.
So: the ref red cards a player. There's a tussle as said player refuses to leave the pitch. The ref pulls out a knife and stabs the player. An ambulance turns up and whisks player off to hospital (but dies in the ambulance). Meanwhile friends and family of the stabbed (but as far as they know, alive) player decide to storm the pitch at the end of the match, tie up the ref, stone him, then have the bright idea to chop his legs off beneath the knee (as you do), chop off his hands (an obvious next step), and then, having realised they've taken it a bit far, finish him off (because he's still alive at this point) by beheading him with a machete. And meanwhile some mucker in the crowd is filming all this on his mobile phone, no doubt so that friends and family can relive the moment and relieve those dreary days yet get in a rainforest every now and then.
Well they've got my vote for flabbering gasts I didn't even know I had.

I can't quite process this story either.

Re: Refereeing in South America
Anyone who's witnessed the comings and goings of current youth football in the UK (well Wales anyway), won't be surprised by what's gone on here. Just ask Bobo.mummywhycantieatcrayons wrote:I can't quite process this story either.

Re: Refereeing in South America
I don't know if there is a video of the attack, but I know there is a video of the dismembered and decapitated corpse, complete with all spare parts, because I have seen it.
Absolutely breathtaking.

There is. The police in Brazil currently have it. It will no doubt surface.mummywhycantieatcrayons wrote:I don't know if there is a video of the attack, but I know there is a video of the dismembered and decapitated corpse, complete with all spare parts, because I have seen it.

Would agree with you there went off during a school game last year that ended in a 22 man brawl and a dozen teachers on the school field.Always hopeful wrote:Anyone who's witnessed the comings and goings of current youth football in the UK (well Wales anyway), won't be surprised by what's gone on here.

Re: Refereeing in South America
No-one got f*cking stabbed or their head cut off though, did they?
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.
