Its not an easy life being a referee in Thailand.....

A couple of days ago whilst waiting for the wife to get ready to go to dinner I glanced through the TV channels [as you do] and came across live coverage of chiang mai V another, about 10 minutes of the second half had been played. One player took a dive in the box but the ref was unmoved by the oscar worthy performance and waved play on, sadly everything stopped.

Players manhandled the ref and supporters started to throw bottles of water at the official and players... from both sides.... the ref and officials walked to the edge of the pitch and everything came to a halt, except the parade of club officials [from both sides] coming to talk to the ref, followed by more bottles of water, followed by police and more water.... Thai television being what it is had allotted a fixed amount of time to the match and nothing overruns on thai telly. The last thing I saw before transmission time had elapsed was both sets of players passing the ball around and a large contingent of armed police congregating at the edge of the pitch.... I havent been able to find out what happened.

 

In a second incident.... a referee [controversial Im told] was driving back from a jog when two men on a moped/motorbike drew up alongside and shot him several times at close range, the police seem to think it is to do with his officiating duties although one has to question if the gunmen were also referees as they only managed to shoot him in the arm and leg [thankfully]
