Spanish Referee On Drift For Final After Horror Show

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Carlos Velasco Carballo will have been riding high when told he would be officiating the opening game of the Euros but William Hill think he will have plummeted to unfathomable depths following the dubious red card he handed out and the potential penalty he turned down. He has drifted from 12/1 to 16/1 to officiate the final.

“After 10 minutes, the Spaniard was doing well, allowing the play to flow, but then suddenly, he had a change of heart and decided that he was going to start showing cards for the most innocuous of challenges,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “His performance will not go down well with the UEFA bigwigs.”
