Referee Pulls Out Gun To Restore Order After Fans Disagree With Penalty Decision

A referee restored order after a controversial penalty
decision by pulling out a gun.
The extraordinary moment the match official strolled
around the centre circle with the weapon in his hand was
filmed by fans who kept a safe distance amid the
confusion.
The tense scene occurred during an amateur match in the
western Honduran town of La Jigua.
Local reports said the unnamed ref brandished the pistol
to protect himself from angry supporters who thought he
should have awarded their side a penalty.
A relative is said to have handed him the weapon at the
end of the match as he was jeered by the furious fans.
Shots could be heard during the home-made video,
although it was unclear where they had come from.
One supporter was overheard insulting the ref by calling
him a son of a b****, although he appeared to make a
wise decision by staying in the stands.
There were no reports of any injuries as a result of the
standoff.
