As a rule, I hate it when football managers criticise referees in post match interviews. For one, it's the easiest and oldest excuse in the book, plus why focus on something you simply have no control over?
Referee's will always make mistakes, always have, and the laws of statistics inevitably mean you'll get as many in your favour as against over time.
However, last night's 5-a-side match for Barely Athletic will always be remembered personally for this extraordinary incident...
Barely Athletic lost 7-1.

However, last night's 5-a-side match for Barely Athletic will always be remembered personally for this extraordinary incident...
Two players tussle for the ball. The ref's whistle blows. We stop. An opposition player proceeds to kick the ball in the net. I pick the ball up for what I assume is a free kick to us. Then the following dialogue unfolds...
- Me: Where's it from ref?
- Ref: Nah mate it was a goal.
- Me: But you blew your whistle.
- Ref: Yeah but I was trying to say 'play on' and blew it by accident.
- Me: But you blew your whistle!
- Ref: Sorry mate but it's still a goal.
Barely Athletic lost 7-1.
