I always get dirty looks at football matches as i applaud good football by the opposition when it happens.It has almost got me in trouble on numerous occasions.I won't stop doing it though just to be a typical football numptie.Yes i will give stick to the ref,but only when they deserve it.

Not the same as cricket, supporters have always bood and whistled at ref's it almost a tradition,and in part is caused by the speed of the game. players arguing is another matter.

A Rugby games I have been known to give the Ref all manner of stick. The difference is that it is when they deserve it.

I get frustrated when you see players and fans shouting at Ref's and Linesmen even when they have made the correct decision.
