They’re Very Traditional People and there happened to be a butcher among the crowd.
And then what happened? Did they finish the game and play around him? I hate when stories like this leave me hanging.
No, he’s a head.

Am I the only one wondering why the referee had a knife on him in the first place with which to stab the player? And did the crowd use his own knife to butcher him? I can’t see being able to dismember a body with the size knife I would imagine fits in the pocket of referee shorts!
What I’m wondering is, if the referee kills one of your players, do you have to use one of your three subs to replace him, or are you granted an extra sub? Do the Laws of the Game mention this scenario?
Then, after, the referee has been quartered, his head placed on a stake, etc., does play resume from the position on the pitch where the player was first killed, or from the position of the referee’s head in the center circle?
Does it have to be a FIFA approved stake?
Also, who won?
It appears that the player was red-carded. So the stabbing, one might say, was irrelevant to game play since the player was done anyway.
Red card, punch, stab, dismemberment. Boy, that gives new meaning to the word “escalation”. The only way it could get worse is if the referee’s union has a nuclear weapon.
