Trivia:
The title is a deliberate pun. The initials F.A. stand for Football Association (football's governing body in England). "Sweet F.A." is also UK slang for "Sweet Fuck All", meaning nothing of any value (it originally stood for "Sweet Fanny Adams", a reference to a young girl who was murdered and her body dismembered in 1867 - the story gained great notoriety and sailors at about the same time who were being issued with new rations of low grade tinned meat joked that they were being served "sweet Fanny Adams"). moreQuotes:
[to two boys who are fighting in his gateway]Mr. Armistead: All right lads - in your own gateway. Good lads. Can't you strangle each other at home? That's why your fathers pay rates.

Brilliantly observed and written "slice of life" drama with comic elements. The players and the ref all take themselves so seriously and imagine themselves to be much better and worthy of more than they actually are. The players come onto the pitch sharing a last cigarette between them. Both coaches send their assistants to try to influence the ref - but he's having none of it.
Both teams think that "fair play" means that the ref should always give them the advantage. But he's determined that he'll be equally fair - or equally harsh - to both teams.
But at the end of the match the ref has the last word.
