Being pantsed in public sucks. Being pantsed in the middle of a football game broadcast across your country is a slightly more devastating blow to one’s ego.
You will notice that Chesterfield Football Club’s Gary Roberts, the blue number 11 jersey is preparing to take free kick. Roberts positions the ball but Cheltenham’s Russel Penn gently moves the ball from where Robert’s had positioned it. What would one do in this situation? One would pants Penn.
Look, it’s a bold move considering the referee was less than an arm’s length away. But the ref did not make a move even while Penn was standing there with his shorts around his ankles attempting to make a point.
