Several times, I fear.Quote:

Can't say I have. Although last year I had to physically intervene to stop an Australian team mate abusing a 16 year-old kid - for which he was banned for the rest of the season.Quote:

I was once given a yellow card for continued dissent in a Sunday morning game however as I was playing under a false name I am not counting this.
Yes, told the ref he was either a ****ing cheat or utterly uselessQuote:

The ref looked very sheepish and actually apologised to me at the end of the gameQuote:

some of us learn the hard way, abr.
I did once get sent off because during me explaining to the referee why he was wrong in his decision to incorrectly award a corner because the last touch of the ball came "off her" (whilst pointing to a opponent sporting a rather girly ponytail), it all kicked off.
I'm still not sure what the actual reason for my dismissal was.
You could have claimed to be simply rejecting patriarchal conventions of cisnormativity, i.Quote:

Yes, I played with a poove once who used to do hand stands in the shower to get a good blast up his bum crack.Quote:

You would be amazed how often, while explaining, refs would tie themselves in knots. I would imagine that the thought of looking a bit silly was much less preferable to having some uncouth yob screaming abuse at a ref. The number of decision I could get going my way.
