A referee in the Netherlands was suspended for life for celebrating a victory with the team
In the Netherlands, a referee was banned for life for sending off three team players in one match and then celebrating the victory with his opponents. Voetbal International writes about this.
In the Dutch fourth division match between St. George’s and De Valken, referee Jan Smith added 15 minutes to the second half in addition to three penalties. During this time, the St. George goalkeeper, who ran into someone else’s penalty area, equalized the score. One point, which was obtained thanks to this goal, was enough for St. George to win the tournament.
“I just sang the song on stage and raised the trophy over my head one time. That’s the only thing I can say. I’m too sad to put it into words,” the referee said.
Earlier, an Italian football referee was suspended for refusing to shake hands with a female referee. The incident occurred at a Serie A match between Lecce and Sassuolo.
