Stopped being a regular fan when I took up reffing as we had to be impartial and neutral. Funny as this is true and could easily do a team I hate vs a team I like and do it fair and square. I am sure everyone has their own stories and most would be because of dad's influence.

Yeah, being a referee brings about neutrality. However, some referees do have their favourite clubs or a certain player the admire.
100% You often see with the top top players like Ronaldo ans Messi for example, they get an easier time of it with referees. Equally a player can get themselves a reputation and possibly end up getting sent off more easily. Xhaka at Arsenal a good example, his card is marked by all refs now. He's not the most intelligent player either though, which doesnt help
Ah ok, makes sense as a ref alright. Seriously thankless job being a ref I'd imagine, with everyone mouthing off at you.
Wow, you're a Football Referee?
Please, in which country? Cause I am also a Football Referee here in Nigeria.
