Yeah We’re Getting Hammered – But This Referee Is An Absolute Disgrace

Whatever we think about that Irish performance today, there's one thing that pretty much everyone agrees on: this referee is a disgrace.

A referee doesn't always decide a game, but on this occasion the Irish fans certainly think he is.

Twitter is going absolutely crazy right now and these were some of the best reactions.

This ref sent Nani off for far less vs Madrid #BELIRL

Didn't give a penalty when the Ireland player got kicked in the head, nor did he give a penalty for handball, something wrong with this ref

With this ref, it is certain Ireland will veto Turkish membership of the EU for the rest of time #IRLBEL #EURO2016 #COYBIG

So this ref doesn't stop play due to a head injury and Belgium comes down the field and scores.. Same ref has given Ireland last 2 red cards
