Referees Sponsored?!

[Rue]

Just watching the spikey Southampton/Blackburn game and I have just noticed the referee is sponsored by an airline company. He has the sponsors slogan on his arms. This is outrageous! I sincerely hope that no football club in the Premier League is sponsored by the same company or is sponsored by a company that has affiliations with said airline company. I will be looking into this travesty...

EDIT: I wonder if the referee's sponsor has anything to do with the one on Southampton's shirts as he just gave the most outrageously unjust penalty ever. I hope big Graham chins him in the tunnel!

OK, so get this: The referee currently refereeing the Chelsea match is also sponsored by an airline company - exactly the same company that is on the shirts of the Chelsea players! As I speak, Chelsea score through Cole. I'm sorry, but I cannot look at a match like this without thinking something stinks, and I'm not talking about John Terry's jock-strap either!

Our referees are sponsored by Specsavers.

Yes, really.

Isn't Scotlands national team sponsored by Safeway? That realy says it all.

Oh and, yeah Chelski owns all the premiership referees. And i'd thought you would've know that was Chelseas main sponsor, is Emirates airlines.

I did know, but I thought they must've changed for this season. Especially seeing it on the referee's shirts.

Arsenal have concluded a deal with Emerates worth around £150 million. The only catch, a minor one at that is that the new stadium Ashberton grove will be renamed the Emerates stadium (which is a lame name if you ask me). I'm sure this will pave a way for other companies to follow suit. Next there will be the Nike air max stadium or the Condomi condoms ground.
