I have just found this quote from referee Ian Cooper. I think the answer might be NO, YOU MUPPET!!
“I played in a few Sunday League teams with my mates and wasn’t as good as them,” says Ian Cooper, a 26-year-old car bodywork repairer from Kent. “So I thought if I can’t make it at the top level as a player maybe I can do it as a referee.”

Referees are a funny breed. Playing local park football you certainly get them all - odd ones, camp ones, 'trainspotter' types, and of course those who would really have loved to play instead but were utterly useless. I don't think referees at higher levels are necessarily much different than the guys I came across - they are supposedly better and fitter, that's all.

I apologise I thought you were describing trigger then

I've never met him and so I will have to reserve judgement. As he called me a thick c*nt on here Saturday night I'm not sure I will be buying him a beer anytime soon (he did apologise to be fair).

When did they get parchments and scrolls? I got a hernia carrying those inscribed tablets about.

I was speaking to Maidstones top referee over the weekend and he said whatever league we are in next season we won't have to have the pleasure of Ian "Tommy" Cooper in a league game.
He has been promoted, yes, I said promoted, to the football league division 1 and 2, but not as a referee, but as an assistant referee !!!
He should pi$$ off even more people next season but thankfully not us.

Oh well, good luck to those poor buggers next season but at least he's not reffing.

He'll probably be getting his L1/2 reffing promotion at the same time as we get into the league
