Not been to many amatuer football games then?
Normally the worst thing to happen is that the away team only buy me a half and not a pint after the game!
Yes in the 10 years I have been doing this I have been called all the names under the sun and a couple of times threatened but most of the times reminding the player that I am in charge and will take action stop it all.
Action for hitting a ref would be an automatic 3 year ban from all KNVB sanctioned football and a fine, also the whole club would probably get a ban, if not the offending team. I have seen football clubs driven out of business because their fans attacked a ref. If a club is banned the members wont pay subs so they have no money.
