Czech refs show up drunk for soccer-match



This is the fourth referee. Soccer has one main-referee on the field and two line-referees on the sidelines. This guy is the fourth referee and his job is just to stand at the teams' benches and keep track of the game. Just stand there, watch the game, and take notes.

That was a bit boring, so he and one of the line-referees got piss-drunk pre-game.



Eventually, the match officials tasked a security-guy with keeping an eye on the ref, so he doesn't do something stupid. And eventually, the drunk ref had to be dragged away.
