Texsox Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Link: It won't delay start of season JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -- A South African soccer referee pulled a gun and shot dead a coach who questioned one of his rulings, police said on Sunday. Inspector Mali Govender of the Grahamstown police in the Eastern Cape province said a fight broke out after the referee gave a yellow warning card to a player in a local match on Saturday. "There was an altercation...and the referee became threatened when the other team approached him because they were angry," Govender said. "So he pulled out a gun and killed the coach of the visiting team." Govender said the coach died on the field while the referee fled the scene. Police were confident of making an arrest soon, she added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obstacle 1 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Why did the ref have a gun on him? That's weird south africa has the highest murder rate per capita in the world, and there have been numerous reports of officials being shot during/following soccer games. just another reason why soccer should be wiped off the face of the earth.
