This England referee failing to understand the concept of a fistbump is a modern tragedy

Smooth operator...

Ben Kiely

Worst. Fist bump. Ever.

The match officials inadvertently entertained the masses of football fans tuning in. Prior to kick-off, the gang all got together to engage in one of the more embarrassing pre-match traditions.

All the hands went in… then 3, 2, 1… break!

It was all a good hustle until the official on the far left showed that he was the perfect antithesis of a smooth operator by majestically making a balls of the fist bump.

And before that moment of hilarity happened, there was a balls up with one of the people who were given the very simple task of holding up a giant letter on the field.

It’s not that difficult.
