Sometimes, especially after seeing your favorite club lose to the referee's wrong decision, you feel like watching some referee bloopers.
I've scoured the web and found some of the most hilarious and embarrassing bloopers, gaffes and mistakes here to help you unwind. What people don't already do when they standing on the field with a ball.
Enjoy the videos!
What we discuss in this comprehensive post:
Referee Bloopers
It starts off well with a really bad misstep over the ball. Classic!
Top 10 referee blunders
Then on to the top 10 refereeing blunders. Balls over the goal line, those kinds of classic mistakes, but very over the top. Obvious mistakes made by refs. Goals made with a fake header for example. One by Messi, in which he pretends to head but makes his body a little longer by tapping the ball into the goal with his hand. Not seen, and a goal awarded!
The Funniest Referee Bloopers
This video made by Fox sports shows a number of bloopers that follow each other in rapid succession. For example, do you remember a game in which the penalty spot could no longer be found due to the snow? A corner that could not be taken by a linesman who remained in the way. Weird bloopers you can't imagine.

And what about a blow to the head with a linesman's flag? It all comes together in this video.
Football referees most funny moments
Then this one from the UK. The most funny moments of Football referees. A fall over a player, a gay referee all in pink then? Running up against players and knocking them over? All by accident of course, but oh so stupid! A corner kick hitting a linesman exactly again. Balls to the head of the referee, they hit hard!
And then a referee who can't hide his happiness for a goal, ai! Painful! Spray on the shoes of players who want to put the wall too close? That, of course, is humor.
Top 10 Shocking Referee Mistakes
Some recognizable from the other videos and also a few new ones. These are 10 of the most shocking mistakes you can make as a referee. How will you show up on the field after this?
Referee blunders
These are real blunders. Accidentally snatch the ball from a broken striker? How do you say that right? A player who comes to smell your armpit while you signal a free kick? A referee who only just dodges the ball but falls because of it?
Funny referee fails
Another one from the UK. this funny referee fails. Well, the first one is pretty cool. The linesman also shows his talents by putting the ball in his neck. Then there's another one doing some weird dance on the sidelines, didn't know it was being filmed.
Referees blasting at players, always a nice effect, of course. But you cannot make a real attack on a referee as a player. And it happens more often than you might think. A player himself kicks his shoe at a linesman.
A funny fail is the spray that doesn't seem to want to spray, only to go straight in his own face afterwards :)
Then a fight where everyone runs after the referee. He had accidentally tapped a player a little too hard, that was clearly not appreciated! The opposite might just be some weird ballet-dancing ref.
Wrong decision makes a draw
An exciting action that goes just wide, then the counter that goes in. It promises to be an exciting match. It is 1-0, then 8 minutes before half time the equalizing goal comes, 1-1. Before halftime the 1-2 still and so the teams go into the second half. Then a penalty that equalizes. 2-2. Then another heated discussion about the 3-2, was he over the line or not? The referee's decision was not appreciated. With a penalty it becomes 3-3. Draw.
Bizarre goal awarded by referee
While the keeper has the ball, a player heads it out of his hands and manages to score. The referee approves him.
Bloopers: a drunk referee
Finally, a nice and simple, a drunk referee on the field still tries to radiate his authority. He is escorted off the field but can barely walk to the changing rooms. The game will be interrupted for a very long time because of this! After all, someone supports him just to get some momentum going. You want to be a referee be in your best shape I think this is very extreme the other way around.
At the end he receives his applause with dignity.
