The Referee... is straight terrace heat from Northern Ireland supporters when a decision goes the wrong way. It keeps to the matchday purpose rather than spelling out the insult, but the chant's job is obvious from the title, rhythm, and crowd reaction.
Lyrics for The Referee...
The referee's a w*nker,
The referee's a w*nker,
The referee's a w*nker,
The referee's a w*nker...

Behind the chant
What's the story behind The Referee...?
It is built as a repeated complaint, so it can keep rolling through a bad spell of decisions.
