I'm glad he was just drunk, it could have been worse (poppy clicky)

Everyone in the world owns a video camera now... why no clips? I want to see this match...

Meanwhile, the official, who had a 1.94 per cent alcohol level in his blood when he was tested by police is facing a possible 12-month suspension for his actions.


1.9% blood alcohol? The guy had three times as much alcohol in his body as white blood cells.

Methinks the story is embellished just a tad.

Fine reportin', there Lou.

Nice to see the other team agreed to not attack following the ejections.

He had a reason to eject three players! He was drunk! That's your reason, submittard!

/never said it was a good reason

It's because pigs. can't. read.

/f*ck pigs

No video. Obviously it didn't happen.

Subby:
Even if he's sent three players off for no reason

I didn't click the article. Is this about the Chelsea - QPR game on Sunday?

Paging Koman Coulibaly to the thread..

Approves. THAT'S A TECHNICAL!

It was 1.94 promille (1.94‰), or 1.94 parts per million, which works out to 0.194%. Still pretty drunk, just not preserved.

Galloping Galoshes: promille

Had to look it up. My swedish isn't much better than my german, but the math is simple.

Galloping Galoshes: It was 1.94 promille (1.94‰), or 1.94 parts per million, which works out to 0.194%. Still pretty drunk, just not preserved.

Just to clarify here, promille (aka per mil) is NOT parts per million (ppm), but "one part per thousand"

ppm is typically called "parts per mil" in the US, but it's parts per million and a significantly different

per mil or per mille, used in the article, is from the Latin meaning "for (every) thousand), so:
1 per mille = 0.001 = 0.1 % = 1000 ppm

I should add, per mil (aka promille) is used in the US in terms of property taxes where it's listed as the amount owed per $1,000 of value, hence the "milliage rate".

FTA: "He explained that under current rules there is nothing that bans a drunken referee from taking charge of a fixture, so the game continued with Jestrabi down to just eight players."

Yeah there is nothing that bans you, but also nothing that helps you keep your job.
Stupid official. If you work on your birthday, you party AFTER work.....

Is this the first time in the history of soccer that the referee was diving to the ground more often than the players?

From this headline I expected an article about Chris Foy. HAHAHAHA. Anyone? Anyone?

Awwwwww :(
