Paying attention is always important when you're a referee. Not only to ensure that you're enforcing the laws of the game, but to protect from looking like a spaz when the ball comes your way.
The referee in this match between East Juniata and South Williamsport was apparently caught looking at something other than the goalkeeper kicking the ball because when it came at him, instead of getting out of the way, he tried to catch it and ended up falling over. He then showed everyone in attendance a red card for laughing at him.
