That is a total fucking disgrace. The linesman must be bent.
Unless you're speaking of Darren, that kind of insult really isn't on.
You do realise bent in this context means corrupt?

It's an older saying. Often used on TV in the 70's. I still use it sometimes. Here is a definition of it.
bent
1. An individual who abuses his/her position of power, or operates on the periphery of legality
"That copper is as bent as a nine pound note."
