VIDEO: Referee decks player after awarding controversial penalty

Refs take no guff over in Kuwait.

13 YEARS AFTER a horde of angry Manchester United stars swarmed all over Andy Dโ€™Urso, a referee in Kuwait has delivered the perfect response to player intimidation.

Dโ€™Urso was forced to backpedal to the sideline after having the temerity to award a penalty to Middlesbrough, against United, in 2000. Similar, ugly scenes raged in Kuwait on Thursday as Al Arabi and Al Nasar took each other on in a league encounter.

Trailing 3 โ€” 1 and losing their defensive discipline, Al Nasar conceded a second-half penalty and the anger cork popped. Referee Saad Al Fadhli was surrounded by seven players and answered back to some jostling by laying out the Al Nasar No.11.

    @James Johnson: I answer on behalf of all the people who donโ€™t mind to see Rangers lose. Myself included and no I donโ€™t support a Premiership club. Who do you support James while weโ€™re asking all the questions?
