I played for an amateur team called Refs United FC. We were all licensed referees, and some of us were even officials in this same amateur league! We were also the most argumentative, dirtiest team in the league!
awesome fair play, played against refs myself in matches, but also myself as part time ref just in 5aside. how much crap you can take for 'right' calls, the ego your team had going into any match must of being out of this world
At first I thought I had misheard him, since I was just playing this in the background. I though, that he must've said eight, which was still a little bit unbelievable. Later when he said they shot 22 goals I had to go back and rewind because I couldn't believe it
Sunday league games can get a bit heavy, usually there's a couple of handy players in each pub team It's not super common but you get a few teams in each league where the match-up is always going to be a double digit score (a team of ex-academy players with a former pro or two versus 11 fat drunk blokes from the local pub)
This law got changed in the 2019-20 law revisions, so if the ball comes off the referee or assistant referee and either: goes into the goal, or creates a goal scoring opportunity, a dropped ball results.
@@bern9642 No, the African Cup of Nations definitely implemented the same rules. I watch enough other leagues to know elsewhere but I believe it was universal
Imagine, though, being a player for Wimpole after that game. Imagine having to go back to the locker room, knowing how bad your coach is going to chew you out. _Knowing_ that you're going to have to sit there and hear him remind you that not only did you lose, _not only_ did the other team have ten times your goals, but that of the _two_ goals you scored in the entire game, one of them was made by a referee. ...I think that must have been one of the most legendary tirades of all time.
Unfortunately for those wondering, as of 2019 this rule is no longer in effect. If the ball touches the referee and it changes possession or leads to a goal/goal scoring opportunity it is a dropped ball for the team that had possession before it hit the referee
hilariously, a week before this rule came into effect, a goal in lower leagues of the Dutch football system went off the ref after an attempted clear, and they had to count it

0:00 "What would be the most fun way to score a goal?" Maybe not most fun for you, but for crowd pleasing and historical fail value you couldn't do much better than kicking the ball *into your own face breaking your nose* and it bouncing into your own goal. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Chris Brass: ruclips.net/video/vliNfbguZu0/видео.html
I trained as a football ref in England at 15. The ref who trained us said that his ambition was to score a goal before he retired, and that he had been close a couple of times.
Patrick looks like a math professor I had in college. Discrete math and linear algebra. Same voice, same laugh, did the same thing with his hair. I swear it's him.
Mike That’s not necessarily true, it depends on what impact that touch has. If a goalkeeper touches the ball as part of a failed save, he generally doesn’t get recorded as the goal scorer (unless the ball was going wide and he somehow pushes it in).
2:23 “You can’t fire me, I quit!” “You can’t quit, I quit! “You can’t quit, you’re a frog!” “You can’t frog me, you’re my wife!” “I’m not your wife, you’re *my* wife!” Oh, hi, honey! How was work?” “Pretty good but I quit my job.” “You can’t quit, you’re fired!” “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
So I was actually a scoring referee, but in a more legitimate way. My story: I turned up to referee a preseason friendly in the local pub league, only to discover one side had 10 players. We could still play but it would be fairly one-sided. One of the managers had a son who was also a referee, and this son had turned up to watch the game. He came across and offered me a choice: referee the game, or PLAY for the team with only 10 players for a bit of fun. It was a no-brainer, I pulled a kit on, went up front and scored our only goal, a rebound thumped in from 10 yards. To this day, I still have a 1 game, 1 goal record which I am proud of 🤣
A useful thing to know: this rule has been changed. Now the ball is out of play if it touches a match official, remains on the field of play and: • a team starts a promising attack or • the ball goes directly into the goal or • the team in possession of the ball changes The game is restarted with a drop ball.
When I was a little kid on a youth soccer league, we didn't have very sophisticated rules, and our coach noticed this. There were no forwards or defenders, because we were too young to understand rules that complicated. Our coach therefore told us that as soon as our team had control of the ball, we were all to advance way up the field and form a wall around the opposing team's goal. We then proceeded to score goal after goal with the other team unable to stop us. The referee wanted to call for a reset, but the coach rules lawyered his way through. I think he was probably saying, "show me in the rules" but I don't know if they were even printed. It was a very minor thing, just meant to be for fun. But he exploited the relaxed rules for maximum advantage. Eventually, parents on the other team got really upset, and they called the game early and just awarded us the win.
Yo, I love these videos about weird rules. I have a suggestion. Last year in the Taiwanese baseball league, a team had to lost a game in order to make it to the playoffs. Should be a fun video ;)
This is an instance where this one goal did not affect the outcome of the match, and thus should have been allowed without consequences for the ref in question. had the match been closer (say, 2-0 or 2-1 at the time of the offending goal) the goal should have been rescinded and the ref suspended
This rule is changed as of January 2020. If the ball hits the referee and possession changes it's a drop ball. If it hits the referee in the penalty area it goes to the keeper. Referees cannot score now.
SNES had a soccer game called Super Formation Soccer. There, after you win against all the other teams and is on the world cup podium, the referee rebels and steals the cup, then the "final boss" before you actually beat the game is a team full of refs.
Unfortunately this is not possible anymore. If the ball hits the referee the game is stopped and possession is returned to the team who last had the ball.
The first 10 Seconds of this video mention something I watched happen to some kids when I was the ref.. It was funny but so sad as well since it was his own teammate that he hit in the back with the ball and their team was already losing by several points.
Amateur football can be pretty mental. When I was 11, I played for my local village team, but we didn't have enough players to have an under-12s team so had to play in the under-14s. We got beat pretty heavily most weeks but the worst defeat I can recall was a 27-0 thrashing at the hands of a team with a kid the size of Peter Crouch with a moustache. Harrowing memories.
In Brazil have been 2 weird goals i remember that were not scored by players: a ballboy and a ref. Both goals were validated. But there's other 3 cases that people not involved in the game saved goals. The ball was going in, no goalkeeper to save, and in those 3 cases once a dog saved a goal, for real, a dog got into the field and pushed the ball away from the clear net. The other 2 cases a ballboy and a member of the satff from one of the clubs saved the goals. In those 3 cases the goals were not validated since the ball didnt pass through the goal line.
Please do one of this about the 1968 Masters Tournament (Golf). It was decided when a player miscounted his own strokes, he was winning, but because in golf you count your own points, and he did a mistake giving himself a score that wasn't the right one, he lost.
As a current referee myself, I can confirm that this, however unfair, is legal. And I neither understand why they are called "the *laws* of the game" and not "the *rules* of the game"
If I understand correctly, it is "laws" because they are created by a governing body that officiates many leagues? If it were a governing body of a single league then it's just "rules". No idea if I'm making that up.
A similar thing happen in Brazil, in the match Palmeiras x Santos, in 1983, although in this case the goal was not intentional and equalised the game in the last minutes of the match. Anyway, it's no more possible to a referee make a goal now because a new rule was homologated last year: if the ball touches the referee the play must stop
It actually happened in a small state league in Spain. The referee scored with his head. It didn't count and his excuse was: "It was aproaching in the most perfect way"
I read an article about this match: Earls Colne first team manager Roger Bragg said: "Everybody just stood round in amusement. It was brilliant. It just shows there is some fun left in the game." Steve Mycroft, Wimpole 2000 secretary, said: "It was a very good natured game. It was legal. If he puts the ball in the net it's up to him whether he allows it to stand." Actually nobody made a fuss about that.
About scoring a goal from hitting someone in the back of the head with the ball. Before his move to Real Madrid, Gareth Bale was credited with an own goal when a teammates attempt to clear the ball from the goal line hit him in the face and ricocheted into Tottenham's net.
I was just watching all the videos in this playlist & Pat Gill??? Appeared??? Out of nowhere???? This is the most wild crossover I know nothing about this channel what is going on
Showing up two years later to say that the thing Patrick described (bouncing the ball off another player and into the goal) happens occasionally in water polo and is known as a JFK for obvious and terrible reasons
If a game had a scoreline like that, I would expect it to be Liverpool vs a random Irish Sunday league team with Alisson only playing with one arm and completely chopping off his left leg before the game while also being in a vr headset
Since last saturday, this is no longer possible. IFAB (Federation which decides the rules of football (soccer)) decided that if a goal is scored, intentional or not, by the referee, it doesn't count as a valid goal.
Earl's Colne was really close to where I grew up and I cycled through the village going to friend's homes a bunch of times. Wimpole is wimpy sized, sorry guys, I've never been there.
It’s called football not soccer. When I heard them saying points I thought, “What tf is a point?” It’s called a goal, not a point. You get 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and none for a loss. THAT is a point. A goal is a GOAL.
Weird soccer rule that I was taught when learning to be a referee: Apparently, there was a game in which a member of the audience pulled out a gun and shot the ball as it was traveling into the goal. The goal didn't count because, due to the deflation of the ball, it was no longer a regulation soccer ball by the time it crossed the line and therefore not able to be something with which a goal can be scored.
>Start company >Hire good soccer players >They join as refs in the league >Charge the teams to score You are now the world's first FIFA Mercenary Organization
It's true that the old rule was that the ref was considered "part of the pitch" in the same way as a goalpost, but the rule was changed for the 2019/20 season. Now, the rule states: "If the ball touches the referee or another match official and goes into the goal, or results in a change of possession or a promising attack, a dropped ball will be awarded."
It is a travesty that they changed this rule! They are ruining this great sport. VAR, offside, handball are all logical, applied fairly, keep the game flowing at the proper speed. I have no problem with those things! Let me bank a goal of a referee, or let a referee score goals again! Bring back the magic of the sport!
@@danwindows7 I agree and disagree. I personally am OK with no goal if it directly hits referee and goes in or leads to a promising attack. This has almost happened to me before, as a referee. But I'm with you, some trifling bounce off me in the midfield that doesn't lead to anything - why stop play?? 100% agree on the absolute bastardization of the game that offside is responsible for. Using VAR to measure whether tiny fractions of the body are offside is absurd. Somebody please give me a counterargument of how this is good for the game. That was never the spirit of offside, it should be to prevent obvious cherry-picking and gross abuses, not as some ticky-tack way of limiting offense. I'd love the see the daylight rule reinstated again (no offside unless entire body is past the defender), or have portions of the field near the goal where there is no offside. Offside traps in general are dumb and should require more skill than just pissing off the linesman by creating marginal offside calls that aren't even slightly related to the original intent of offside, which was cherry-picking. But the problem is, the guys upstairs (so to speak) only stay relevant if there are rule changes, and they want to make their mark/legacy on the Game...
But a goal is worth a point so it doesn’t matter. If you score a touchdown in American football you can call it 6 points or a touchdown. It doesn’t matter.
Sam W no, a goal is a goal it is not worth one point it’s worth exactly one goal. Points are awarded at the end of the game 3 for a win 1 for a draw, can you see by saying Liverpool scored 5 points today would be confusing?
regarding the first statement in this video.I grew up playing water polo as a goal keeper, and every so often a shot would ricochet off of the side or cross bar of the goal and hit the goalie in the back of the head and go in, and it was commonly known as a "JFK" (for obvious reasons). It definitely was one of the most embarrassing ways to get scored on.
You should do a video on the season where the FA (England) decided that instead of replays in the FA Cup, they would have unlimited golden goal extra-time, which resulted in the longest game of football ever. I believe my team Stockport County was involved. ;)
There was one game between the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadians, I think it was 2 years ago in the preseason but the Bruins were winning like 14-2 and in the last 10 minutes of the 3rd period they just stopped calling all infractions against the Canadians so they could just end the game faster
You should do the Welsh club cricket scandal. One team intentionally declared early, to ensure their opponents wouldn't win the division championship from them on the final day. It made national and international news, over an amateur cricket game.
Honestly, the best bet would to have the refs just be agents of chaos. Like, they just act like a third team without a goal that just helps out whoever they feel like.
Btw that rule change this year 2018. Now if the referee touches the ball the game Is stopped and the team who had the ball before gains control of the ball in the same spot where the referee touched the ball.
I assumed it was going to be a situation where one team was so unsportsmanlike or so brutal to the ref that the ref decided to come up with his own penalty.
nah, I've been in games like this one where it was so one-sided it wasn't even fun anymore. I can totally see a ref just doing it cause at this point the score doesn't even matter any more and the game isn't fun for anyone, even the winning team.
If you're still making these videos you should do one on Dean Saunders scoring from a throw in as the lone attacker by bouncing the throw off the back of the goalie
Talking about the refs making a team, made me think... Soccer or football or futbol or whatever you may call it, would become infinitely more interesting if there were 3 teams on the field for a game.

So I was actually a scoring referee, but in a more legitimate way. My story:
I turned up to referee a preseason friendly in the local pub league, only to discover one side had 10 players. We could still play but it would be fairly one-sided. One of the managers had a son who was also a referee, and this son had turned up to watch the game.

As a referee I can confirm this is in fact a rule. That's why in training they tell you to never to stand in front of the goal.
A useful thing to know: this rule has been changed.
Now the ball is out of play if it touches a match official, remains on the field of play and:
• a team starts a promising attack or
• the ball goes directly into the goal or

Please do one of this about the 1968 Masters Tournament (Golf). It was decided when a player miscounted his own strokes, he was winning, but because in golf you count your own points, and he did a mistake giving himself a score that wasn't the right one, he lost.
"What's this about?" I don't know why this exchange had me laughing so hard.
As a current referee myself, I can confirm that this, however unfair, is legal. And I neither understand why they are called "the *laws* of the game" and not "the *rules* of the game"
If I understand correctly, it is "laws" because they are created by a governing body that officiates many leagues? If it were a governing body of a single league then it's just "rules".
No idea if I'm making that up.
A similar thing happen in Brazil, in the match Palmeiras x Santos, in 1983, although in this case the goal was not intentional and equalised the game in the last minutes of the match. Anyway, it's no more possible to a referee make a goal now because a new rule was homologated last year: if the ball touches the referee the play must stop
They changed the rule this year :(
It actually happened in a small state league in Spain.
The referee scored with his head.
It didn't count and his excuse was: "It was aproaching in the most perfect way"
I read an article about this match:
Earls Colne first team manager Roger Bragg said: "Everybody just stood round in amusement. It was brilliant. It just shows there is some fun left in the game."
Steve Mycroft, Wimpole 2000 secretary, said: "It was a very good natured game. It was legal. If he puts the ball in the net it's up to him whether he allows it to stand."
Actually nobody made a fuss about that.
I honestly don’t follow a single professional sport (though I know how all the American ones are played), but this series cracks me up.
“Fifa are doing pretty good,” I wouldn’t exactly agree with that statement.
Icemankiller he was being sarcastic.
Forgot to turn on the sarcasm detector?
They must have millions in Qatari oil money stashed away for retirement, that's pretty good
Wooosh
This aged well now that fifa wants a World Cup every 2 years
About scoring a goal from hitting someone in the back of the head with the ball.
Before his move to Real Madrid, Gareth Bale was credited with an own goal when a teammates attempt to clear the ball from the goal line hit him in the face and ricocheted into Tottenham's net.
I was just watching all the videos in this playlist & Pat Gill??? Appeared??? Out of nowhere???? This is the most wild crossover I know nothing about this channel what is going on
ohhhhh THAT'S why this is in my recommended... Patrick is here
good content even tho i don't follow sports at all
I laughed hard at this. Omg a scoring referee. 😂
Showing up two years later to say that the thing Patrick described (bouncing the ball off another player and into the goal) happens occasionally in water polo and is known as a JFK for obvious and terrible reasons
"The referees should make their own team"
They already did; it's called Professional Referee Organization.
If a game had a scoreline like that, I would expect it to be Liverpool vs a random Irish Sunday league team with Alisson only playing with one arm and completely chopping off his left leg before the game while also being in a vr headset
This rule is no longer true in the Premier League. If the ball hits the ref, the game stops and it is given to the team that was in possession.
Since last saturday, this is no longer possible. IFAB (Federation which decides the rules of football (soccer)) decided that if a goal is scored, intentional or not, by the referee, it doesn't count as a valid goal.
🤣😂😆🤣🤣😆where's the footage I wanna see 😂🤣😆it just made my day lol
Earl's Colne was really close to where I grew up and I cycled through the village going to friend's homes a bunch of times. Wimpole is wimpy sized, sorry guys, I've never been there.
It’s called football not soccer. When I heard them saying points I thought, “What tf is a point?”
It’s called a goal, not a point. You get 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and none for a loss. THAT is a point. A goal is a GOAL.
Weird soccer rule that I was taught when learning to be a referee: Apparently, there was a game in which a member of the audience pulled out a gun and shot the ball as it was traveling into the goal. The goal didn't count because, due to the deflation of the ball, it was no longer a regulation soccer ball by the time it crossed the line and therefore not able to be something with which a goal can be scored.
One hell of a shot though.
Thank you for satiating my love of weird rules.
So are we not going to talk about the fact that these guys are basically a more nerdy version of Arin and Dan from GameGrumps ? Okay then.
>Start company
>Hire good soccer players
>They join as refs in the league
>Charge the teams to score
You are now the world's first FIFA Mercenary Organization
Lmao I’m imagining because of the above comment, 11 players all dressed as refs, running around with whistles, and handing out cards lmao
It's true that the old rule was that the ref was considered "part of the pitch" in the same way as a goalpost, but the rule was changed for the 2019/20 season. Now, the rule states:
"If the ball touches the referee or another match official and goes into the goal, or results in a change of possession or a promising attack, a dropped ball will be awarded."
When I clicked on this video of these American dudes I really did not think they’d be talking about earls colne 2 minutes from my house lmao
Fun fact, this has since been changed. A goal scored after touching a referee no longer counts as a goal.
It is a travesty that they changed this rule! They are ruining this great sport. VAR, offside, handball are all logical, applied fairly, keep the game flowing at the proper speed. I have no problem with those things! Let me bank a goal of a referee, or let a referee score goals again! Bring back the magic of the sport!
@@danwindows7 I agree and disagree. I personally am OK with no goal if it directly hits referee and goes in or leads to a promising attack. This has almost happened to me before, as a referee. But I'm with you, some trifling bounce off me in the midfield that doesn't lead to anything - why stop play??
100% agree on the absolute bastardization of the game that offside is responsible for. Using VAR to measure whether tiny fractions of the body are offside is absurd. Somebody please give me a counterargument of how this is good for the game. That was never the spirit of offside, it should be to prevent obvious cherry-picking and gross abuses, not as some ticky-tack way of limiting offense. I'd love the see the daylight rule reinstated again (no offside unless entire body is past the defender), or have portions of the field near the goal where there is no offside. Offside traps in general are dumb and should require more skill than just pissing off the linesman by creating marginal offside calls that aren't even slightly related to the original intent of offside, which was cherry-picking. But the problem is, the guys upstairs (so to speak) only stay relevant if there are rule changes, and they want to make their mark/legacy on the Game...
Great story, but Brian Savill will not be available for comment as he unfortunately passed away in 2014.
Love these videos but, it’s not a point it’s a goal
But a goal is worth a point so it doesn’t matter. If you score a touchdown in American football you can call it 6 points or a touchdown. It doesn’t matter.
Sam W no, a goal is a goal it is not worth one point it’s worth exactly one goal. Points are awarded at the end of the game 3 for a win 1 for a draw, can you see by saying Liverpool scored 5 points today would be confusing?
Is your GOAL here to make yourself look as pedantic as possible? Because if it is, you've definitely made your POINT.
Dude, those points are for standings. you realize there can be more than one type of point, right?
DairunCates yes and I hope so,
regarding the first statement in this video.I grew up playing water polo as a goal keeper, and every so often a shot would ricochet off of the side or cross bar of the goal and hit the goalie in the back of the head and go in, and it was commonly known as a "JFK" (for obvious reasons). It definitely was one of the most embarrassing ways to get scored on.
Wasn't expecting to see Pat Gill on this show, but here we are.
You should do a video on the season where the FA (England) decided that instead of replays in the FA Cup, they would have unlimited golden goal extra-time, which resulted in the longest game of football ever. I believe my team Stockport County was involved. ;)
There was one game between the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadians, I think it was 2 years ago in the preseason but the Bruins were winning like 14-2 and in the last 10 minutes of the 3rd period they just stopped calling all infractions against the Canadians so they could just end the game faster
I think you're talking about American football because there are only 2 halves in this type of football.
@@ba-wp5zs Bruins and Canadians are hockey teams
@@pavv7741 Oh. Well, don't talk about hockey when this is a football video because it's too confusing.
The Ref Team should be The Final Boss of the FIFA Championships. You beat the finalists, now PROVE YOUR WORTH!
You should do the Welsh club cricket scandal. One team intentionally declared early, to ensure their opponents wouldn't win the division championship from them on the final day. It made national and international news, over an amateur cricket game.
That's why since this year (at least here in Spain) when the referee touches the ball, the game has to be stopped
i learned this rule on my ref classes but i didn't expect someone actually doing it
The level of nerdery in that room has reached its absolute maximum.
Believe it or not, the NFL has a full team of referees, who have won every Super Bowl ever
Honestly, the best bet would to have the refs just be agents of chaos. Like, they just act like a third team without a goal that just helps out whoever they feel like.
Guess what? That rule has been changed. Now a ball that rebounded in a referee is now a "dead ball".
Pretty simple really.
"Oh no, I scored a goal _by accident._ Now I'll have to score on the other side to even things out!"
Btw that rule change this year 2018. Now if the referee touches the ball the game Is stopped and the team who had the ball before gains control of the ball in the same spot where the referee touched the ball.
I assumed it was going to be a situation where one team was so unsportsmanlike or so brutal to the ref that the ref decided to come up with his own penalty.
nah, I've been in games like this one where it was so one-sided it wasn't even fun anymore. I can totally see a ref just doing it cause at this point the score doesn't even matter any more and the game isn't fun for anyone, even the winning team.
Patrick's final joke is now perfectly feasible with the introduction of the Super League.
yo patrick gill we worked at ASAP at UMO together. Good on ya pal
As of 2021, not possible anymore :(
Totally legal for the ref to score on purpose... Gets suspended for 7 weeks...
"Legal" in the sense of "not warranting action on the field". Not "legal" in the sense of "refs are allowed to be partial".
Letter of the law: yes
Spirit of the game: no
If you're still making these videos you should do one on Dean Saunders scoring from a throw in as the lone attacker by bouncing the throw off the back of the goalie
Talking about the refs making a team, made me think...
Soccer or football or futbol or whatever you may call it, would become infinitely more interesting if there were 3 teams on the field for a game.
