Power of the individual.
I always believed that no man was too insignificant to make a difference. There’s this pretty romantic line that goes like “To the world, you may seem like a nobody. But to somebody, you mean the world.”
Deadly true.
Even if you’re in some place faraway, your actions will definitely have far ending repercussions on someone out there. Not sure about you guys, but I sure believe so.
Before any of you ladies go ga-ga because he’s “ang moh”, this bloke here is actually Rob Styles, a referee who screwed up a mighty few matches. Liverpool fans should know.
And he is the man whose actions stirred strong feelings among all ManUtd fans and neutrals on sunday morning 12.15am to 2.30am.
How on earth did he not see the ball pass the byline remains a mystery to me. Instead of calling for a throw in, play continued. How on earth did he dismiss 4 penalty shouts ( three from Manutd and one from Blackburn ) will be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in humanity’s history. My only conclusion was that he was on the pitch to be a first class spectator to catch the action live in front of him instead of sitting in the stands.
Logically, the linesman and assistant should share the blame, but I’m in no logical mood.
What’s my mood, you might ask.

See all the mean looking guns?
Unfortunately, I’m sure there’s an Legal Act in all countries which would see me resting my thick neck on a thick rope should I try those out. Now, excuse me as I complete that Photoshop tutorial on designing templates for dartboards and hunt on eBay for some Poison Darts from North America.

Wow – football angst! I’ve never been a fan of football but I’ve recently become a fan of sports reporting. Sports is such a dry subject to write about that sports writers inevitably bring feelings into the picture, which makes the writing so much better.

Thanks for the comments (=
Football is one of the easier sports to write about I feel.
Imagine if it’s golf. .__. It’s one entire crowd watching one guy trying to nudge one small ball into one just slightly bigger hole.
