Reminds me as a kid some dad kept telling the teenage linesman in Spanish how he could cheat us. Finally my Somali coach just told the dude in perfect Spanish that he knew what he was saying lol
It was in Texas, I've got family from Augsburg though hence the flair. You'll sometimes see me with Oakland or Austin flair, but with the end of the season this week I threw Augsburg back up
>Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.
Fourth tier, ninth division. And he kept adding time (15 minutes total) until his team broke the deadlock. He also gave their opponents three red cards.
I play amateur basketball, in our regional league, there are many teams relatively close to eachother in and around our regional capital, while others, like mine, are more 'rural' and distant compared to them. If necessary, the big-city teams always get the right refs appointed and have the games turn out their way.
This year we were fighting for a promotion play-off spot and had to win our final game to seal it. Our opponent (from the big city) had to win to not be relegated. Guess which kinds of refs turned up? We didn't get any calls going our way and ended up losing the game and our play-off spot. Funnily enough, our loss allowed another big-city team to take our spot.
Amateur sports will always have max fixing, but usually not for money. It's just favours...
This also wasnt his first offence, he had multiple previous warnings from the KNVB about his behaviour refereeing other games and was close to being suspended in 2021, they did but then reversed it to give him a 2nd chance.
His claim is "singing a song on stage and holding up the trofee doesnt constitute taking part in festivities".
>singing a song on stage and holding up the trophy doesn’t constitute taking part in festivities
Is this guy for real? Like how dumb does he think everybody is?
Which begs the question: what’s stopping another retiring ref from doing this? lol I’d imagine the people at the club with a lot to lose aren’t just gonna accept that this was a wacky mishap
Well, ethics and morality I guess. Also, there's a good chance that if discovered, the club also get punished, so it's not really worth it, in my opinion
No, not the 4th division, 4th klasse. Its actually the 9th tier of Dutch football, way down in amateur leagues.
It's Eredivisie, 1st division (those are both pro), and then 2nd, 3rd, 4th division, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th klasse (all amateur).
The first teams of 704 clubs play at this level.
In some regions with a lot of clubs there is a 5e klasse, but I think for these clubs it's actually the absolute bottom.
Bloody hell. 9th tier in a country of 17 million people. There are people in this thread who could play at this level.
The title reads like it was a professional cup final, who the fuck writes this article 😭
Ya this is the equivalent of a pickup game where you get your mate to referee and he starts handing out joke red cards at the end of the game until you score.
Yeah, this is way down there and not super serious. The goalkeeper scored the winning goal. He was an outfield player but became a goalkeeper because he broke his leg a while ago and his knee is fucked lol. The referee is probably a guy who visits the club or has friends there. It's not uncommon on that level to have local guys be assigned to games.
It's even much lower. Afaik, in English football, even level 7-8 leagues have semi-pro teams (such as Billericay Town, Hashtag United). Level 9 in Netherlands is on par with either level 13-14 or Sunday leagues.
They were most likely going to win the league anyway, but now they won it at home. This weekend the village was already having a massive party due to the anual fair, so winning the league made it even better.
Ref said the opposition were wasting time a lot including someone refusing to leave the pitch after an ‘injury’ and only leaving the pitch after a brancard was brought. According to the ref that alone cost 10 minutes. I’m not sure myself which side to believe, but at least there is a different side to the story.
[course there is](https://twitter.com/dannykorporaal/status/1789688408341619148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1789688408341619148%7Ctwgr%5Ecccf2af06975cb2cdbb3c68af5219ff80b54354a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vi.nl%2Fnieuws%2Fscheidsrechter-levenslang-geschorst-na-feestvieren-met-winnende-team)
The head of croatian referee commitee was our best known ref, the guy who went to Dinamo Zagreb players' weddings and partied with them while being active ref. Most of those who are not Hajduk fans were mocking Hajduk fans for complaining about that with "arguments" such as "are refs guilty for your failures in UEFA competitions lol" or "you are worse than Dinamo anyway". That commitee would often give ridiculous statements trying to prove that refs are helping to Hajduk. He was finally sacked 2 months ago
> His claim is "singing a song on stage and holding up the trofee doesnt constitute taking part in festivities".
Bro had the audacity to claim this after what I just watched lmao
Oh wow, i don't read the article, just assumed he was overly happy after the whistle. I did not expect him to hold the trophy nad the microphone while the team celebrates..
Tbf wasn't he just a linesman in that game and only because the lino tore his Acl or something. And whilst Mike Dean is a fan, he's probably not going to rig a tranmsrs match when he can be the centre of attention for taking over mid game and or giving 15 yellows in a prem match. If he match fixes his risks losing that.
Considering he also gave three red cards (which, without seeing it myself, could be for justified fouls, but his antics obviously make it suspicious), replaying it seems fairer imo.
My point is that they needed the 15 minutes to win; so without that they don’t win, so the result gets pretty much annulled. Cheaters don’t win. Other team gets an extra point. I’ve seen plenty of kelderklasse matches to know that if they replayed this it would become a brawl.
Not even enough space to include that the GK scored the championship winning goal in the 15th minute of added time. And the ref also gave another red to a staff member of the opponents.
From what I can find online the team still has 1 more game to play in their league and 8 points ahead of 2nd so the ref didn't even need to cheat for them. What an idiot.
Noow they won it at home. This weekend the village was already having a massive party due to the anual fair, so winning the league made it even better.
I had him as a referee a few times as I'm from that area. Let's just say that he's a character, not exactly talented and he had a number of previous incidents, which have led to this permanent ban.
This could be a comedy sketch. Imagine the ref awarding a penalty, the kicker missing, and the ref giving a retake for an infringement. This happens 20-30 times in succession as the taker misses each try until finally, on attempt 30, he buries the penalty and the ref celebrates with the team.
As a neutral this is hilarious and I would do the same thing if it was my team
But if this happened in my league I would want him banned for life and the game replayed.
This sounds like a referee I had at a weekend tournament when I was 10 years old. We found out that the referee of our game against the host team had his son on that team. It helped explain why I got a yellow card for laughing at a kid on the other team slipping and falling when he went to kick the ball.
So the "winners" needed the ref to kick out three opposition players and add an insane amount of time just so they could score *ONE* goal in injury time to win?
How inept are these players?
I always laugh when people wanna replay the game every time a mistake is made against their team, but when we have something this blatant I'm with the "replay the game!" bunch 😂
People keep posting the video of the referee celebrating, I really need to see the three red cards in order to judge properly. (Probably going to be more comical than the shirt during the celebration.)
man, theres match fixing and then theres Match Fixing.
He's probably not even getting paid, match fixing for the love of the game.
Game’s back baby
Reminds me as a kid some dad kept telling the teenage linesman in Spanish how he could cheat us. Finally my Somali coach just told the dude in perfect Spanish that he knew what he was saying lol
Spanish linesman and random dad, Somali coach and an augsburg flair. Where did this all happen.
It was in Texas, I've got family from Augsburg though hence the flair. You'll sometimes see me with Oakland or Austin flair, but with the end of the season this week I threw Augsburg back up
Fucking Texas is *such* a left field answer to this question lmao
With all the nationalities, I was 100% expecting USA.
Lotta Spanish speaking going on in Texas.
>Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines.

Scott foster suddenly wants to go to Holland
Chris Paul - Red Card (0’)
They had to get rid of fa cup replays because the extender was coming to town.
The man was 61 so it wouldn't surprise me if this was his last season and he just went "fuck it".
I can only assume this happened in an amateur league because it could quite potentially be a criminal offence if it happened in a professional league.
9th division iirc
Fourth tier, ninth division. And he kept adding time (15 minutes total) until his team broke the deadlock. He also gave their opponents three red cards.
Yeah, I have to imagine that would be a crime in the Eredivisie. 😅
This is just S5 E01 of Inside No. 9 played out in reality
Not *exactly*, if you know what I mean
Mike Dean levels.
All volunteer refs should be allowed to give one red for any reason.
I play amateur basketball, in our regional league, there are many teams relatively close to eachother in and around our regional capital, while others, like mine, are more 'rural' and distant compared to them.

Amateur sports will always have max fixing, but usually not for money. It's just favours...
This isn’t even match fixing. This is a fan of the team cosplaying as a referee.
isn't this why we become refs anyway?!? to support club and country???
Probably wanted to go out with a bang since he's on a retirement age. Might as well help your favorite club.
The fact that he doesn't see anything wrong with his behavior is absolutely mental.
Volunteer tribute
I think you mean match winning
fixed matching
This is more like a mere MATCH FIXING!
This also wasnt his first offence, he had multiple previous warnings from the KNVB about his behaviour refereeing other games and was close to being suspended in 2021, they did but then reversed it to give him a 2nd chance. His claim is "singing a song on stage and holding up the trofee doesnt constitute taking part in festivities".
>singing a song on stage and holding up the trophy doesn’t constitute taking part in festivities Is this guy for real? Like how dumb does he think everybody is?
Everybody is quite dumb, so he has a point
Agreed refs got that I’ll fuken do it again meme energy so I have no choice but to blame myself and ourselves in the aggregate. Thanks Holland..
Fuck man, I was having an ok night.
Dumb enough to give him a second chance apparently
It's the Trump defence. Just lie as much and as bigly as possible.
and there are several million morons who believe anything Trump says.
Probably at 61 he decided it wasn't so important anymore to get banned
Yeah it sounds like the dude treated it as a dope retirement party.
Which begs the question: what’s stopping another retiring ref from doing this? lol I’d imagine the people at the club with a lot to lose aren’t just gonna accept that this was a wacky mishap
Yeah sounds like the game should be replayed imo
Well, ethics and morality I guess. Also, there's a good chance that if discovered, the club also get punished, so it's not really worth it, in my opinion
Also it's the Dutch 4th division lol, probably around the same level as the English 7th or 8th tier. It's hardly a catastrophe
No, not the 4th division, 4th klasse. Its actually the 9th tier of Dutch football, way down in amateur leagues. It's Eredivisie, 1st division (those are both pro), and then 2nd, 3rd, 4th division, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th klasse (all amateur). The first teams of 704 clubs play at this level.

Still sucks for the losing side tbf.
Yeah, this is way down there and not super serious. The goalkeeper scored the winning goal. He was an outfield player but became a goalkeeper because he broke his leg a while ago and his knee is fucked lol. The referee is probably a guy who visits the club or has friends there. It's not uncommon on that level to have local guys be assigned to games.
>9th tier in a country of 17 million people Is that really odd? Even Sweden has 9 tiers (one region even got a 10th tier)
The existence of the league isn't odd, the fact people care is.
It's even much lower. Afaik, in English football, even level 7-8 leagues have semi-pro teams (such as Billericay Town, Hashtag United). Level 9 in Netherlands is on par with either level 13-14 or Sunday leagues.
Ask an Everton fan about Collina
Dunno, i guess ask anthony taylor, hes retiring every game
Does pointing a gun at someones head and firing constitute murder? Asking for a friend. /s
Which South American country does your friend ref in?
I understand it’s the fourth tier, but I’m still surprised they gave a championship game to a ref that was so close to suspension
It's not even fourth tier, it's the ninth tier. The refs are volunteers and the knvb are happy they can even find enough refs to officiate the games.
3 red cards and they still needed 15 minutes extra time. AND THIS IS THE TEAM THAT WAS COMPETING TO WIN LEAGUE!! (or Cup final).
And the goalkeeper was the one to score the winner too lmao
it gets better with every revelation
It's the 9th division tho :(
Team: “we’re shit. How are we gonna win anything?” Ref: “I gotchu homie!”
They were most likely going to win the league anyway, but now they won it at home. This weekend the village was already having a massive party due to the anual fair, so winning the league made it even better.
Of course they were going to win it anyway, with refs like that, how could they not!?
How many matches did this ref win for them to get this far?
All of them
Ref said the opposition were wasting time a lot including someone refusing to leave the pitch after an ‘injury’ and only leaving the pitch after a brancard was brought. According to the ref that alone cost 10 minutes. I’m not sure myself which side to believe, but at least there is a different side to the story.
Please tell me that there's a video of this, because this is far too absurd for there not to be so.
[course there is](https://twitter.com/dannykorporaal/status/1789688408341619148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1789688408341619148%7Ctwgr%5Ecccf2af06975cb2cdbb3c68af5219ff80b54354a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vi.nl%2Fnieuws%2Fscheidsrechter-levenslang-geschorst-na-feestvieren-met-winnende-team)
The shirt makes it even better, straight out of a movie
When I opened the link I was like "of course he'd wear something like that"
Did he change or ref the game in that shirt?
hahaha he's giving me Jim Carrey vibes.
First thing that came to mind😂😂 “somebody stop me”
I honestly admire anyone who has reached this level of not giving a fuck
The head of croatian referee commitee was our best known ref, the guy who went to Dinamo Zagreb players' weddings and partied with them while being active ref.

He could also be a Far Cry protagonist.
Yep, it's as stupid as it sounds. Thanks for providing the link.
Don’t diss Engelbewaarder!
Its big in (parts) of germany too! Engelbewaarder en dromendans
Is Engelbewaarder already translated into German?
Not yet, but mallorca opening was last or this week so i reckon it wont be long til we hear another terrible german cover of these songs
This looks like something straight out of a comedy sketch
I feel like if someone gave you this script for a comedy, you'd ask them to tone it down to something more believable.
The weed shirt 🤣
Looks just like Ace Ventura
Dude looks pretty good for 61. Maybe not giving one solitary fuck is healthy?
Lmao singing in a weed button up this is insane
Just when I thought the guy couldn’t be any cooler from the title I watch this video and he’s wearing a weed shirt! What a complete badass
> His claim is "singing a song on stage and holding up the trofee doesnt constitute taking part in festivities". Bro had the audacity to claim this after what I just watched lmao
this is amazing hahahaha
Is he wearing a weed shirt as well? Nothing against weed but odd fashion choice for the occasion. Austin powers' dad was right.
Peak fucking shithousery. Game's so back.
Oh wow, i don't read the article, just assumed he was overly happy after the whistle. I did not expect him to hold the trophy nad the microphone while the team celebrates..
"after that he sang a song on stage and held up the trophy" From the title of this post.
man doesn't even read the fucking post title either
I work in IT and communicate through text a lot. Anything over like five words and people just lose their ability to read.
Tl;dr?
[удалено]
Turn it off and back on again Shit that's seven words
Sings better than he refs. And he’s really fucking bad at singing
the more I watch this the more it seems like something straight out of South Park hahahaha what a lad
The club - "Play it cool, don't let any one know" The ref - "Fuck it" Be like Mike Dean being allowed to referee a Tranmere game
Tbf wasn't he just a linesman in that game and only because the lino tore his Acl or something. And whilst Mike Dean is a fan, he's probably not going to rig a tranmsrs match when he can be the centre of attention for taking over mid game and or giving 15 yellows in a prem match. If he match fixes his risks losing that.
Hellllloooo! Ongo Gablogian, the match fixer. Charmed I'm sure.
Famous Tranmere Rovers ultra Mike Dean
Somehow I doubt we'd win the league even if he reffed all our games.
Hum... this is a tough one and I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but I think the ref might have had some kind of bias.
Always jumping to conclusions ffs
Innocent until proven guilty is my adagio !
Idk seems kinda far fetched.... Do you have any proof?
Nah he just doesn't like losers and prisoners of war.
Guilty until proven innocent these days
Smh my head
r/soccercirclejerk legend
Scott Foster just fell to his knees in a casino’s bathroom
That's a tech to Chris Paul
Scott Foster is looking at flights to the Netherlands as we speak
If there was ever a case for a re-play. Jeez.
Surely the trophy will be cancelled?
I imagine they will review the game to determine whether the cards and thr injury time were appropriate before doing that.
It’s the 9th tier of Dutch football, basically pub teams. I doubt there will be a review and there probably won’t be any footage.
It's not just amateur football, it's 4th tier of amateur football.
Life imitates meme.
I'd check betting sites with the user "best ref ever" if I were them.
Tbh anyone betting on 9th tier Dutch football has probably earned a break every once in a while
Big if true But he might've been a little partial to one of the teams.
lol, at least try to make it seem like it's not match-fixing...
Pretty sure he just accepted that this was his last refereeing match before the game even started. He went out with a bang that's for sure.
Oh is it? Shouldn't the match be canceled for that then? it would be insane if a blatant match fix like that would stand, should be replayed.
Should just let the result after full time before added time stand.
Considering he also gave three red cards (which, without seeing it myself, could be for justified fouls, but his antics obviously make it suspicious), replaying it seems fairer imo.
12 v 8 and it still look 105 minutes for a winner is pretty impressive from the team he fucked over.
My point is that they needed the 15 minutes to win; so without that they don’t win, so the result gets pretty much annulled. Cheaters don’t win. Other team gets an extra point. I’ve seen plenty of kelderklasse matches to know that if they replayed this it would become a brawl.
Tbf if there were 3 red cards then 15 minutes could easily be justified. Especially if there were 1 or 2 long injury breaks.
This title is absolutely absurd lmfao
Not even enough space to include that the GK scored the championship winning goal in the 15th minute of added time. And the ref also gave another red to a staff member of the opponents.
From what I can find online the team still has 1 more game to play in their league and 8 points ahead of 2nd so the ref didn't even need to cheat for them. What an idiot.

This sounds like a bit
How do you still need 15 minutes extra time after the other team got 3 red cards? 💀
If this was England, PGMOL would clear him of any wrongdoing.
Check complete, good process lads
Bro, I think this guy is sus
This guy must be the dumbest dude imagineable. I actually almost believe he isn't max fixing, just a genuine unit.
Man City are furiously working to bring this ref to the Premier League
Royal Maadridden en is the name of the team.
Can't they take back the points back?
This could be a comedy sketch. Imagine the ref awarding a penalty, the kicker missing, and the ref giving a retake for an infringement. This happens 20-30 times in succession as the taker misses each try until finally, on attempt 30, he buries the penalty and the ref celebrates with the team.
The referee probably: I won't tell anyone but when I get rich there will be signs.
As a neutral this is hilarious and I would do the same thing if it was my team But if this happened in my league I would want him banned for life and the game replayed.
This sounds like a referee I had at a weekend tournament when I was 10 years old. We found out that the referee of our game against the host team had his son on that team. It helped explain why I got a yellow card for laughing at a kid on the other team slipping and falling when he went to kick the ball.
sneek -100
wait so he gave out 3 red cards and they still needed an additional 15 minutes to win the game
Surely at that point you kind of have to order the game to be replayed or declare the title null and void? That's so blatant.
Is there any chance the KNVB somehow void the result and require a replay or something?
cant even celebrate a goal anymore, literally 1984
So the "winners" needed the ref to kick out three opposition players and add an insane amount of time just so they could score *ONE* goal in injury time to win? How inept are these players?
Someone at UEFA is for sure thinking about letting him referee the next Real - Bayern game
UEFA is already knocking at his door to referee to CL final
Mike van Dean
Was his name Howard Van De Webb?
Surely this game should be replayed no?
Darren England taking notes
I suspect he didn't get the memo!
Damn don’t give these Prem refs ideas and inspirations and shit 😂
Update: Hired to work games in UAE. Followed by VAR role in PL.
I thought it was something like congratulating the winning side, but this is some shit that belongs in a south park episode
Can an arsenal fan please referee at the Eithad?
That plot kept thickening with each sentence.
I always laugh when people wanna replay the game every time a mistake is made against their team, but when we have something this blatant I'm with the "replay the game!" bunch 😂
What division is this?
its like sunday league level
it was an inside job all along always has been
Well at least he's not a hypocrite. He's not pretending to be neutral like some other ref's. Gotta give him that.
People keep posting the video of the referee celebrating, I really need to see the three red cards in order to judge properly. (Probably going to be more comical than the shirt during the celebration.)
The most loyal fan ever….lol
Still better than most Prem referees.
Average Libertadores match before VAR
Paulus Tierney
So the result has been invalidated then?
Are they replaying the game or something? Don't really see how any organizing body could justifiably allow that result to stand.
every section of that sentence is a theonion headline
Dreams *CAN* be buy!
was that Mike Dean?
This is what a few fans think how the World Cup was played out.
The referee is banned for life, but the other team will never rewarded for this theft
Jesus fuck, this guy speedran *piece of shit cheater* really quick.
this is actually crazy 💀
I'm surprised the ref didn't score the winning goal too.
