This came up as a Facebook memory, one of Grandson George’s first matches:

————————

Conversation with George at the match.

George: Grandad, where is the referee?

Me (pointing): It's that man over there with black shorts, grey shirt and a white stick.

After a pause, me: Can you see him?

George: I can see a man with black shorts and a grey shirt but I can't see his white stick. (Laughter all round)

Me: He hasn't really got a white stick.

George: Well why did you say he had then, silly.

Kids say some of the funniest things at times, it's a good story to share @Fan of Big Tone.

When people ask what 'American Pie' is about, they're missing the point. The song isn't about the lines themselves - it's about what is between the lines. The song is about what isn't there.

You should have told him that most of the refs that come to Meadow Lane should have had white sticks @Fan of Big Tone. ????

 

I've seen refs who not only need a white stick but a carer, as they've obviously only been let out for the day.Just to balance things out there are also some excellent refs

We should come up with questions to ask our kids/grandkids and see what they say.. could be a funny topic as they come up with the funniest things sometimes.

It's funny and sweet what kids sometimes say, it's even funny when they spot an elder making a mistake in their mind.

Oh oh oh ohhhhh, everywhere where we go, watching super County putting on a show!

Wrong type of stick Mark. If they did their jobs correctly. ;)

Over the years Jake's said some very funny things, I recall at an away game he asked why the opposition team had 12 players on the pitch. This was during a physio helping on of the player.
