A link to Kevin Lynch talk about his experiences refereeing. Jeff Winter did one on the same channel which was excellent also.
I am only 16 minutes in, the interview started at around 13 mins, already Lynch has given two great insights into how he refereed and how he made up for bad decisions.

As the title says, a must watch for fans of any football.

The bit around 35 minutes is pretty mental. Completely admitting that the refs accepted massive gifts from clubs/city/country representatives before major European games.
4k in jewellery for his Mrs before one game apparently.
He's playing it off as not making a difference to how they officiated game but it's clearly dodgy as feck, unbelievable they'd be so silly as to accept it really... And to then admit it on this program, you can tell it's a bit awkward at that point with the younger guys there who know better.

An absolute hoot.
You have to remember that England thought they could win the world cup in 2018 by rolling out Prince William and a few celebs like Beckham.
This was hilarious and we are living two corrupt world cups in a row and has the world cup literally robbed from SA by a new Zealand representative voting against instruction openly having being bribed to the hilt.
Of course there was open corruption with refs.we all saw examples of games where results were complete fixes in Europe esp Eastern European sides but Italians too.
Ffs 1978 world cup top scorer was just after a year bam
Juve were relegated for match fixing

I listened to the Jimmy Glass one yesterday evening. Entertaining, especially as I didn't know the character or his Carlisle story, though the Lynch one is going to take some beating.
