A soccer referee (36)______ for scoring a goal while taking charge for a gam

A soccer referee suspended for scoring a goal while taking charge for a game has resigned after being found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by the Essex County Football Association. Last year, when Brian Savill was taking charge of a game in the South of England between Earls and Wimpole, Wimpole was lagged far behind with a score of 18-1.
    With 10 minutes remaining, Savill found the ball at his feet in front of the Earls goal and promptly banged it into the net, before signaling a goal. The laws of the game state that the referee is part of the playing area and that the game continues if the ball strikes him. There is no provision in tile laws to differentiate between an accidental or deliberate contact. Savill’s bizarre goal made little difference to the outcome as Earls went on to win 20-2, but the officials were impressed. The Essex County FA finally found 47-year-old Savill guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and probhibited him from holding his post for seven weeks. Savill, a referee with 18 years’ experience, left his job after finding out about the decision. "They haven’t got a sense of humor," he told the Times newspaper. "It brought enjoyment to everyone’s lives. It shows refereeing can be enjoyable and that we are not Hitlers running around blowing whistles all the time. "However, he advised other referees against following his example.
