    Referees never have it easy. I refereed a wrestling tournament once--I will never ref again, I got a newfound respect for those wearing the stripes.

    I am by no means a soccer fan, but ever after the Swiss referee Meier has been stalked by fanatic fans and was therewith totally exposed in a very dirty way, I do indeed respect the referees more too.
    Still, I think soccer socks...ehm....

    Beat it...Jab it...Stab it...FENCE IT!!!
