Gentlemen, I'd appreciate it if you'd instruct your players to keep the game near the centre circle because, let's face it, I'm not going to be running anywhere.

Interesting ref, John Langenus.

Langenus officiated all his matches "whatever the heat, in cap and plus-fours".

Langenus first undertook his refereeing exam only to fail it when he wrongly answered a question posed by examiners. The question asked of him was: "What is the correct procedure if the ball strikes a low-flying plane?". Langenus did not answer and failed the exam.


There was also an incident involving one of the US medical staff, after Langenus had given a foul against one of the American players; "the team's medical attendant raced, bellicose, on to the field, to berate Langenus. Having had his say, he flung his box of medicines to the ground, the box burst open, various bottles smashed, including one full of chloroform, and its fumes rose to overpower the American. He was helped from the field.

Yes, my bad. I seem to remember DM Bah Humbugged on us before when it came to posting a festive picture. I'll try to sort something out for next week.
