Chris Sutton usually has plenty to say about referees.
But on Sunday, the former Celtic striker tried his hand at officiating a game.
And the pundit has joked that it's given him a taste for more refereeing action, saying "maybe I'll try Glasgow next".
With VAR now in Scottish football, Sutton has been outspoken about his thoughts on the technology in the Premiership.
It has become a major talking point after almost every game in the top flight. It was introduced in October.
Now, Hoops hero Sutton has taken to the pitch in a different role, to experience the position of a referee first hand as he took on a match between Rosehill and Didcot in Oxfordshire.
Really interesting morning refereeing my first ever match between Rosehill and Didcot in Oxfordshire and getting an understanding of what it’s like for the man in the middle. Huge credit to both teams and the supporters👏👏…maybe I’ll try Glasgow next… https://t.co/Ohp24zwKcX

Meanwhile, Michael Stewart is adamant that Celtic are "streets ahead" of every other team in Scotland.
The former Hibs and Hearts midfielder insists it will take something "extra special" to stop the Hoops from lifting the league title this term.
The pundit heaped praise on Ange Postecoglou's team after they strolled to a comfortable victory over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park yesterday.
An own goal from Andy Considine got the ball rolling for the away side in the 4-1 win, with Kyogo, Aaron Mooy and David Turnbull adding the others.
