sglosbcfc Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Why was the ref carrying a knife? Did he think he was down for a Bristol Regional league game in Southmead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 That's just awful. Two people are dead because of something that, ultimately, doesn't matter. Horrible story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hoards of football fans cancelling their flights to the WC next year I'd imagine! Terrible year for Brazil PR wise. Horrific story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan disorderley Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm not really clued up on south American football. Is pulling a knife out on a player our equivalent to showing the red card? Maybe show the knife but not use it is yellow, or maybe show it and use it is red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 So it was true after all Kudos to BBC and Sky for waiting until they'd checked the source. Hard to imagine a ref carrying a knife - never occurred to me to do so when I was umpiring pub cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
