BEING A REFEREE is a tough job — just ask Graham Poll how hard it can be to keep track of all of those pesky yellow and red cards in a small notebook.
So spare a thought for referee Nestor Guillen who had an unholy mess to deal with when this Paraguayan junior league match between Teniente Farina and Libertad ended in a 36-man brawl.
Rather than wade through the mess to try to pick out the guilty parties, Guillen took the easy option by heading straight to the dressing room and sending the whole lot of them off. Subs and all.
“The referees didn’t even stay on the field,” Teniente president Hernan Martinez told Reuters. “As soon as the fighting broke out they went to the dressing room.
“They ran through the tunnel to their dressing room. They weren’t able to see anything that happened. But, in the report, to more or less wash their hands of the responsibility, they expelled all 36 players.”
Congratulations on all involved in getting this event to come to the island of Ireland.
Mind you it will be like being in Amsterdam while they are here with all the people on drugs cycling around.
Stupid comment from you!!
Absolsolutely stupid. You could have at least had some credibility had hinted at a McQuaid conspiracy!
looking forward to it already. Sprinter stages though by the look of #2 and #3. Won’t suit our boys for a stage win unfortunately.
what are the logistics involved in smuggling the drugs they use in professional cycling into the country?
10 years too late bandwagoner
Can’t wait for this!
Genuine question, is Darach McQuaid related to Pat McQuaid?
Dunno mate.
Younger bro.

So stage 2 is Belfast to Belfast 218km , cycling in a big circle I assume and then magically appear in Armagh the following day? Must be some drugs their on!
