I am just wondering whether the trademark way in which a certain Assistant Referee who posts on here runs the line, with his flag constantly outstretched as shown in the goal kick and 2b illustrations below, could sometimes be misinterpreted or misconstrued by the Referee and players alike during a match, I'm quite surprised this hasn't been pointed out to him before:

Who is this Official you speak of?

That's fifteen posts and counting. Don't worry, he will soon come on here to defend himself, in his famous rant he said that he can take banter like anybody else, has a high tolerance level and respects people’s right to free speech and to voice their opinions but I don't believe that is the case.
