You can't have a rule that states the referee can make up the rules as he goes along

He's there to apply the law, not try and make things fair. If that were the case he'd have the captains take turns picking the best players before kick off.

        you're letting yourself down now (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 29, 13:48:30
        
        Because the game had restarted, and he scored (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 29, 13:45:43
      - He'll keep saying there is, and it's under 'unsporting behaviour', but it isn't (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 29, 13:34:09
    - INCORRECT! Now quit this bollocks after reading the definition (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 29, 13:33:32
    - why is throwing the ball to your teamate at a throw-in unsporting behaviour (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 29, 13:33:24
      - the same reason why adriano was banned (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 29, 13:36:59
        
        Nope. The referee is there to stop the game if there is an injury. (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 29, 13:40:07
        
        so why was adriano's ban accepted? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 29, 13:41:13
        
        because UEFA are morons. The good stood in that game. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 29, 13:42:02
        
        *goal (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 29, 13:43:25

        Yes he did (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Oct 29, 13:45:26
        
        perhaps he didn't feel it was unsportsmanlike conduct (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 29, 13:45:20
        
        yes but teams always kick it out (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 29, 13:47:45
        
        we didn't earlier in the game when Cardiff had a player down... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Oct 29, 14:08:50
