A referees' boss has been suspended after being found guilty by an FA panel of making a sick jibe about the Holocaust before a Jewish league match.
Phil Morris, referee appointments secretary at the Manchester FA, was disciplined over comments he was said to have made in a dressing room at Manchester United’s Carrington complex.
He reportedly told a ref who was due to oversee the Jewish league game: “Tell them to remember the concentration camps if they give you any ****."
The alleged remark was overheard by a teenage Jewish official, who was left deeply distressed and told his parents.
A formal complaint was made to the Manchester FA. They passed it to the association’s top brass in London who sent a four-man delegation to investigate.
A hearing was held in Manchester on Friday. Morris, from Levenshulme, was found guilty of using ‘abusive and/or insulting words, aggravated by race’...
Morris, himself a former referee, is himself involved in disciplinary hearings when amateur players from various Greater Manchester leagues appeal against red-card offences.
What a disgusting man.
