1
This is mean.
2
Didn't you ref one of the matches?
3
Yeah, for Romeo.
4
Romeo was playing in a game, and Romeo is the most emotional out of all of the kids, actually.
5
So, you know, I could say no to him and his bottom lip goes.
6
So, you know, he was playing this game and the referee hadn't turned up, so all the parents were looking at me as if to say...
7
Really?
8
You're dating them.
9
So I went on to the pitch and I started refereeing the game.
10
It was going great.
11
They were winning 4-0.
12
And then one of the opposition players went through towards our goal.
13

15
LAUGHTER The goal.
16

17
And Romeo went to make a tackle and he missed the ball and took the player down.
18

19
But then I look at our parents and they're like...
20
And then I look at the other parents and they're like...
21
LAUGHTER I knew I had to give the penalty.
22
So I give the penalty and Romeo's looking at me and I can see his eyes are welling up, I can see his bottom lips going.
23
And the kid...
24
So the kid stepped up, took the penalty.
25
I shouldn't say thankfully, but he missed it.
26
LAUGHTER And as our team were breaking, as Romeo's team was breaking,
27
he ran past me and he said, I can't believe you did that, Danny. So...
