A muppet and a thug
Saturday night at AAMI Park saw two of the worst performances you will ever see on a football field. One was by Gerard Parsons, who quite simply put in one of the worst refereeing performances that has ever been witnessed in the A-League in its short history. His decision to “let the game flow” without consequence resulted in Perth Glory running amok in the Victory midfield without immunity. The other was caused directly by the actions of Parsons, whose decision allowed Jacob Burns (may he never where the Socceroos jersey again) to be at his thuggish best and the fact that he was still on the field at the end of the match was indeed a miracle.
I was going to include a picture of Parsons but he is not listed on the A-League website as one of their referees so I used the nearest likeness I could find.
