I could have refereed a football match today but decided to do the Cardiff Half Marathon (1.39) Somewhat surprisingly no one shouted at me, no one appealed for anything and not one person abused me. Meanwhile some team somewhere was missing a ref to shout at!

I hope some of my football supporting friends make an effort to Watch @tnsfc V FC Midtjlland this Thursday at Cardiff City (£5) If it wasnt for TNS this season The Welsh Prem would have probably lost a Europa place next yr , so one club will be 200000 euros better off next year.
