.and another remembrance. When I was a youth, watching at the
front of the terrace at Portman Road, one day the referee came
rushing over from the centre circle coin toss to the crowd where
I was and said "anyone got a coin? I've left mine in the
changing room" Someone obliged. i can't be sure but I believe
the referee was Harry New

I did a game yesterday and the skippers asked if they could do
rock, paper, scissors. ;Dl

I was going to suggest this as a suitable response - I hope some
do do it.

The embarrassment of this going public should be punishment
enough.

Was there not a PL ref who forgot his cards on one occasion and
had to simulate a yellow card? What happened to him? OK, cards
may not appear in the Laws of the Game in the same way as coins,
but similarly embarrassing but nothing more in my view. Did
nobody at the toss up have a coin with them? ARs, photographers,
mascots.....? Whole episode is ridiculous in my view ::)

Well it seems the Royal Navy FA have a sense of humour even if
the FA don't.

The more I think about it the more incensed I get, this incident
has done nothing to improve moral amongst officials it will do
nothing to encourage people to take up the whistle, and imo has
only tarnished the FA reputation. They say he did not act in tge
best interests of the game but surely he did just that? The only
people not acting in the best interests of the game in this
instance is the fa. This isnt funny its an outrage and the fact
someone at the fa hasnt realised their enormous cock up and
rescinded this stupidity has only further made English football
a laughing stock. Pathetic FA shame on you.

I think the Navy RA's response was just superb - love it.

I have always thought that the FA is an organisation that lacks
common sense, and indeed a sense of humour. This episode only
underlines that view.
