i feel bad for the person who listens the mic of that referee

[stephenmurray]

Poor Fella everyone jeering at him when he's getting sick

[timngim]

I don't blame the referee. "You wanna be my assistant, get some discipline!"

[CrazyDuck]

Ahaha. The spfl may not be the best league in terms of quality but name me another league in the world that you'll see this kind of stuff 😂😂

Nobody knows what made him sick, his morning routine was the same as always, heroine, battered haggis and deep fried mars bar, all washed down with a litre of bells. Just one of those things I guess.

Being in the away end there on Saturday we got a birds eye view of the whole thing. Well done Craig Thomson on providing the humour to top off the dees delightful day in Ayrshire.

Just think if Chris Kamara was covering this game for Sky Sports Soccer Saturday this would be up there with the Red Card Kamara missed

[henthust]

I think the referee knew more than we do about the cause of the sickness. Maybe the linesman took one too many, and shook it while running along the line, after the referee smelt it in his breath shortly before the game.

[ilyaseking]

Imagine hearing an assistant coughing in 2020

[bebbingtons]

All we needed was Chris Kamara there for Soccer Saturday that would have been 10 times more laughs

Even after 4 years and during corona pandemic this is a sick video.

The most popular non-Old Firm-related video on the channel

Dude better get a 13 match ban or we riot.

[odsonneedouard]

if this was today he would get a 12 year jail sentence.

[bengunn]

That linesman actually done my gran and papa’s funeral as well😅

[everydaylogic]

All I can focus on is the pitch and how it should be banned...

[AltroG]

Why did he red card him though? That was a little harsh tbh.

[matteocarlini]

Luckily they have a Backup AR In case of the ARs can’t Continue

[moosesnWoop]

"Card him for time wasting Ref!"

[aoxivi]
