Referee Denis da Silva Ribeiro Serafim decided to relieve himself in the middle of the field before the start of a match [Courtesy: Derbi.MK]A referee relieved himself in the centre circle after being caught short seconds before the start of a cup match in Brazil. Denis da Silva Ribeiro Serafim elected to pee in his pants - without pulling his shorts down - as he was being filmed on TV. The video showed da Silva loosening his shorts after glancing behind his back and peeing close to the match ball. One social media user suggested: “The ref peed in his pants so he didn’t have to go to the toilet and delay the match.”Another joked: “That’s not pee pee. That’s holy water the referee places on the pitch to bless the match so it occurs without violence or fights."
