Ref offered assistance by pitch invader

Referees in football take a lot of stick. It’s a hard job and, in a game at the start of the month, one Kidderminster Harriers supporter took to the pitch to offer the ref some assistance, albeit insincerely.

During Kidderminster’s game vs Leamington FC, a pitch invader went up to referee Kristian Silcock and offered him a pair of glasses after Silcock awarded Leamington a controversial penalty.

The fan, who has deliberately not been named, can be seen holding up a pair of spectacles to Silcock, who was explaining his decision to one of the home players.

Kidderminster, not seeing the funny side, has decided to ban the fan for life.
