the essential
In Belgium, among amateurs, the referee of a football match did not feel capable of resuming the match after the break and literally disappeared.
This is not a Belgian story. This is indeed the real scenario, although incredible, which took place this Saturday, September 28 during a Belgian provincial division match, in Saint-Symphorien, in Wallonia.
This Saturday evening, the local team hosted Courcelles. The match progressed in a fairly normal manner, until the return of half-time, or rather no return. Indeed, as told The Last Hourthe referee of the match, decided not to return to the field after the break. The reason? Alcoholic, he no longer feels capable of officiating.
The police called
The players in the match then understand that the latter is drunk. Despite the requests, the visitors, in turn, decided not to resume the game without an official referee. After reflection, the locals therefore contacted the police to note the state of intoxication.
However, no checks will be carried out. When entering the locker room, what a surprise the players and the police were. No doubt frightened, the referee fled in his car.
