I'd like to think of myself as a reasonable, fair-minded man, but honestly, I've absolutely had it with referees. I'm now at the point where every time I hear or see a story about a referee being attacked, punched or verbally abused, no matter who the culprit is, my first thought is "the ref probably deserved it". My friends tell me my attitude towards referees is over the top, immature and not in keeping with my usual demeanour. But decades of supporting the Boro will do that to you. I've been angry before, I'm angry tonight, and no doubt I'll be angry again very soon.
