It's the same syndrome, but crucially, football refereeing (at the top level in particular) gives them a huge stage upon which to display their inordinate egotistical cüntery. This is crucial. You have to bear in mind that, when you're booing a referee, he's almost certainly getting sexual pleasure from it and has as huge an erection as his shrivelled and useless manhood will allow.
and now the proliferation of them with TV spots or with their own newspaper columns (Foy, Webb, Gallagher, Poll, Halsey, Clattenburg - did I miss anyone) is showing them up to be the attention seeking pricks we all knew them to be. Which makes the lack of access after a game to the ones actually still going even more of a farce.
Speaking of attention seekers - who can forget this ****

Poll was the first to take this route, of course.
God, I hated Graham Poll. I remember that game against Newcastle when that senile old prick Bobby Robson decided to give us a lecture on sportsmanship for daring to complain after that preening cünt had given his team the game.
Any vestige of liking I may ever have had for Bobby Robson disappeared that night.
Exactly the same has to be said of another total ****- Durkin. When we won the league there 1-0 he booked four united players in the first half hour and they had no choice but to back off. This is exactly how you refereee a game where one team has a clear plan to hack away at the other. THey all know they can only keep doing it until they are booked.
A ref who cant spot what is going on shouldn't be on the pitch.
