WATCH: How Ireland defender David Meyler dealt with a ref who got in his way...

With Ireland leading Germany 1-0 in Dublin, Hull's David Meyler literally took matters into his own hands to keep the visitors at bay

Republic of Ireland defender David Meyler did not let a little thing like the ref getting in his way prevent him doing his job.

Instead, looking to preserve his side's 1-0 against world champions Germany, Meyler simply shoved the referee to one side.

Spanish referee Carlos Carballo felt the full force of the Hull City player as he strayed into his path, but had the good grace to wave play on and not brandish a card the same colour as his shirt.
