Drunk Ref

Turns out the ref suffered a back spasm, nice to see the BBC reporting the truth.

I thought he had been given medical treatment during half time for a back injury, and the dose was incorrect thus making him appear drunk.

In there defense look at his hand movements, hes trying to push people away, if you had a back problem that bad youd want people to help.

If you're in excruciating pain, you would probably be shoving people away just because you're in such bad pain. If you are ever in extreme pain, you usually aren't thinking clearly. Ever see videos on TV of when someone crashes their car or something, and then they have a broken neck but they keep trying to get up anyway? Same concept.

If you had back pain, you'd be getting into a stance where you feel the least pain... Then somebody comes along and tries to push you away, changing your stance... Wouldn't you push this person away as well?

Real drunk ref... The other one is just a bad imitation
