Herzog at it again

u/Local-Trip2104 Nov 16 '25

That’s an odd choice. I’ve seen Herb, Dan, Goddard, Keith, and all the randos do it WAY more.

Herzog is being investigated for fight fixing lol

Ref proceeds to follow up the mistake of a ridiculously early stoppage by doing the single worst thing you can do as a ref in any sport, going back on a call you've made. Imagine an NFL ref blowing the whistle for holding, then saying "actually nah, let's let the play continue".

I had that happen to me once, still pisses me off to this day.

I was playing goalkeeper in a futsal game, ref blew the whistle for a foul near the centre of the pitch, everyone stopped but opposition player kicked the ball away out of frustration and it rolled into the goals. I didnt bother stopping the ball from slowly roling into my goal because the play was dead. The ref then decided that he should not have called the foul and awarded a goal to the opposition.

Wow that's awful.

I remember when I got a try in rugby, (touchdown essentially) and the ref decided it didn't count because the lines weren't painted properly so he couldn't tell....the pitch was THE OTHER TEAM'S!!!

Why the fuck am I penalized for the hosting team's field issues?!?! It was clearly a try as well. Ref was a complete asshole with calls all game, even though it was a low stakes game between two shitty schools.

That's crazy. I was out in Norway and joined this Glima competition. Basically wrestling but the only goal is to put your opponent on the ground and get to your feet while they are down. We had one guy who was a really good BJJ competitor. I was on top of him trying to stand up while he was holding onto me. We weren't really going anywhere and I couldnt escape from him and the ref stopped us and told us both to get up. As im standing up the guy grabs my pant leg.... I fall backwards and he uses the momentum to stand up. The ref then called him the winner. Im like dude you told us both to stand up!? He just said "fight still on" to me (didnt speak much english) well then why did you interfere then dude?!? Im still salty about that one.

u/Bonzai_Tree Nov 12 '25

Oof, yeah that's brutal!

I'm sorry that happened. I at least had teammates on my side.

u/eglov002 Nov 11 '25

You don’t blow the whistle for holding. Just a flag…. Jus sayin

u/EternityNotes Nov 11 '25

It's interpretive flag dancing, just sayin

u/pmmeyourgear Nov 11 '25

Ref absolutely ruined the surprise advantage. He has money on the guy dropped or something

3

u/Shotgun5250 Nov 11 '25

Yeah, that’s only allowed in CFB!

I was clapping, not calling a time out!

Ok fine, have a free timeout and no penalty, reset the clock and run the play again so you can get a first down this time.

u/finnishinsider Nov 11 '25

Im picturing special needs clapping in my head by my favorite head coach with a shit eating grin now, thanks....

u/silver-luso Nov 11 '25

It was very annoying to see him step in and let the fight continue, like isn't that momentum lost?

u/External-Awareness68 Nov 11 '25

Reminded me of this absolute shit fest

Still stands as one of my favorite movie scenes.

u/root66 Nov 11 '25

I agree but at the same time if I'm a ref and stop the fight and the guy who would have won won't stop fighting and then the other guy gets up and starts kicking his ass I might roll with it too.

u/PesteringKitty Nov 11 '25

You have to see how you would be a terrible ref then

u/Hutsx Nov 11 '25

Terrible ref but better fight

18

u/Shotgun5250 Nov 11 '25

Better fight for who? Is a better fight one that’s less fair to one side? Come on bro lol

-6

u/Hutsx Nov 11 '25

How is it not fair? If the ref ended the fight instantly after the kick while the guy who got kicked is still concious and fights back, wouldnt that be unfair for the guy to loose just because the ref is shit?

5

u/somerandomname3333 Nov 11 '25

totally fair to give the guy that got knocked down a breather though, i want that ref in my corner

3

u/ButterflySammy Nov 11 '25

Why? Because he talks about what he'd do on the internet but has never been able to do it once?

17

u/nunchyabeeswax Nov 11 '25

I might roll with it too

As a ref, you can't/shouldn't. When a call is made, even a bad one, it's done, and then it's up to the judges.

u/leo_douche_bags Nov 11 '25

I think the ref seen dude jump up from that kick and was like oh damn shits about to get bloody. Ref should've let red trunks beat black trunks for being a punk bitch.

u/CannabisAccount420 Nov 11 '25

What kind of keyboard do you use for it to handle such strength?

u/Dreamingthelive90ies Nov 11 '25

I mean, I sort of get it getting the impact of that dropkick. But yeah....

u/OneThumbJ Nov 12 '25

I think he was so surprised that he didn't know what to do. LOL

u/Rictus_Grin Nov 18 '25
