Soccer Game In England Was Canceled At Halftime Because Someone Apparently Went Into The Changing Room And Took A Shit In The Ref's Shoes
[Source] - A grassroots football match had to be abandoned after a referee found poo in his shoe at half-time.
The disgusting incident took place on Easter Saturday in the game between Old Malton St Mary’s and Malt Shovel in the York Football League Premier Division.
Hosts Old Malton had scored an early goal through a controversial penalty, before table-topping Shovel had hit back to take a 2-1 lead into the interval.
However, during the break, the referee discovered somebody had been into his changing room and defecated in one of his black Nike trainers.
Alright, let's get it out of the way
Now, we can talk about shitting in a ref's shoe. It's funny. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, you shouldn't do it, yes it's about as gross of a move as possible, but shitting in a shoe is so outlandish that it's hilarious. This obviously isn't some massive match, it's a grassroots league based on what I read. That almost makes me respect it more because it's not like you're dealing with millions of dollars at play. No, someone was pissed at a penalty call and decided to take matters into their own hands, or rather their own ass.
I don't even think I can blame the ref for being scared for their own safety. You got someone willing to use poop as a weapon, you're dealing with a crazy person. I wouldn't want to be around that for another 45 minutes. If shit in a shoe is step 1, what's step 2 if you make a bad call? No thank you. You gotta call the game off, think about never reffing again and let someone else deal with it. Can't be thinking about people dropping deuces in your comfortable shoes you wear to and from the match.
I'll say it again, I don't care what level of soccer you're talking about over there, they make fans look sane here. You'll get the crazies like Harvey Updyke killing trees, but no one has thought of shitting in a ref's shoe mid-game.
