1690 Posts 71 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 BLUNDERING ref Iain Brines scored a humiliating own goal yesterday trying to report Falkirk boss John Hughes to the beaks - only to find he didn't know his own rulebook. The controversial whistler hauled Hughes - who's already serving a six game touchline ban - in to his room at half-time in the clash with Celtic. And he told him he was being reported for being in the dressing-room at the break. But furious Bairns managing director George Craig took the ref's rulebook from his hand - and showed him the paragraph that stated clearly the boss was allowed in for a team talk! Now MailSport understands a seething Yogi is considering his own action, believing the ref's costly error signals a vendetta agains him. Hughes had claimed he was unhappy with Brines taking a second Celtic game on the trot after replacing crocked Charlie Richmond in last week's draw with Dundee United. And a Bairns source close to the boss said last night: "Why did Brines go to the bother of getting his rule book out if he wasn't simply looking for a way of 'getting' Yogi? "It's outrageous. Yogi had a word with a linesman on the way into the dressing-room because he wasn't too happy with a clear handball at Celtic's first goal but it was nothing. "If Brines knew the rule he wouldn't have made the mistake." --- The Sunday Fail PMSL at the chump. We're only 3 weeks into the new season and already refs are fucking it up left, right and centre. Are they sure they're worth their massive pay rise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
