:But not many footie fans have such an interest in a particular team that they get a tattoo!! So what do you do? Well, one thing you dont do is stick your head in the sand and ignore it. Surely you strive for a situation where all teams are treated equally, even if it may never actually happen. Thats also the reason you couldnt have women refs - most of them support Man Utd if they know nothing about football (its the easy option).
: Leave it out Jake... everybody with an interest in footie, has an interest in most teams not just their own... for example, I support Man Utd, but if I were reffing Leeds v Liverpool, I wouldn't want anybody to win. If you aare suggesting Dermot Gallagher cannot be trusted to ref a Man Utd or related game, then you're saying he can't be trusted, and he should sue you for that.
: So what do you do? Get a ref who DOESN'T want Utd to go 8 pts clear? The only solution is to get women refs... women who hate footie!
