Referee Urinates on Pitch During Soccer Match: Massimo Busacca, an international referee prominent enough to have his own Wikipedia entry, dropped trou and urinated in the penalty box during a professional match between Al Gharrafa and Al Khor in Qatar Sept. 12. See the video, with a black box protecting Busacca's dignity. A week later, Busacca flipped the bird at fans during a Swiss Cup match and received a three-game ban.
Makes you wonder if this was a piss poor match.

You mean because he urinated during it and "piss poor" is an idiomatic English expression?

Sure, why not.

In most, if not all, places in the US of A he could be arrested for indecent exposure. When you consider that in many of the states that is a sex crime, he would then be stigmatized for life, tracked wherever he wants to live, forbidden to live within certain distances of schools, and his neighbors told of his past history, he got off easy with a 3-game suspension.

Wow, you really don't like referees over there. In my country, all we do is chant "Whos' the Bastard in the Black"?

They don't piss on the playing field. For the most part. This dude has some problems that extend beyond being picked on by fans.

Yeah, he has some serious problems. Do you know anyone else who has a black box instead of a penis? I looked it up and it's not common enough to be in a medical encyclopedia. Maybe he's from another planet. Must be lonely here on Earth.

Of course he does, it's called a 'enlarged prostate'. Did you know that 1 out of five adult males suffer from an overactive bladder that is condsidered a 'growing problem'?
My bad..anyone see the commercial about the 'growing problem' where the two guys are at a ballgame and the one older guy always has to go? Classic!

Maybe he should go and see Dr Sepp BLADDER!
I'll see myself out...

I wonder if all those Kill the ref chants are getting to him. That or his celebrity ego blowing up. Strange!
