Video: Leggin’ on – referee gets a proper chasing

For anyone who may be under the impression they don’t take their football seriously in Lebanon, you might want to take a look at this video.

We have to own up, we don’t know a lot about this video other than the fact it occurred in Lebanon and the referee has really pi**ed off some players and management.

It all starts when the referee brandishes a yellow card for what appears to be backchat, to which the player doesn’t take kindly. The man in the middle has to make a quick dash, before a man on the sideline gives chase.

Chase could be overstating the movement, but keep an eye on his fall on 27 seconds, when gravity gets the better of him.

The frantic scenes are merely added to by the presence of a soldier with a rifle casually wandering around with the on-going mayhem.
