ffs Shaun, just do your job and keep the whistle out of your hands. What a clown.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-15T02:51:26.000Z

bit harsh maybe? could be just a weird angle. let's wait for the investigation before we burn him at the stake

Riley Scott2026-06-15T03:15:26.000Z

yeah nah, you seen the video? it's blatant. get your head out the sand

Mason Young2026-06-15T03:18:26.000Z

honestly, how hard is it to not make gestures that look dodgy? come on mate

Phoenix Reid2026-06-15T03:48:26.000Z

we all know what he meant. sick of these "investigations" that go nowhere. charge him or shut up

Eva Anderson2026-06-15T04:09:26.000Z

genuinely curious what gesture it was. pic or it didn't happen. media loves making drama out of nothing

cope harder. it's 2026 and ppl still pulling this crap

Ruby Fraser2026-06-15T04:37:26.000Z

classic, world cup refs get away with everything. but let's focus on the real issues like the price of milk

Sam North2026-06-15T05:19:26.000Z

milk is $6 a litre mate, this ref can get stuffed in the meantime

Ella Thompson2026-06-15T04:54:26.000Z

why is this even news? just some bloke doing a hand thing. ppl need to get a life

Phoenix Reid2026-06-15T05:19:26.000Z
