Gillingham boss Mark Stimson has dished out some fashion advice for the unfortunate referees who are made to wear pink jerseys whilst on officiating duty.

Stimson spoke to referee Paul Taylor after the Gills' 1-1 draw with Norwich on Saturday and made the claim that they are becoming a laughing stock.

Speaking to Kent Online, he said: "It's a crazy decision to put a referee in a pinky shirt.

"They get enough abuse as it is - but as soon as they walk on the pitch with that pink shirt people laugh at them.

"Referees set themselves up. If they wanted managers to say anything about it I would because I do not think it is a good thing."
