Help please
Hi, I quite don't undertstand:
"He refereed his first match at 17, and immediately took a liking to dispensing of justice on the field"
"dispensing of justice" means lack of justice i.e. smth negative, doesn't it?
Here it is supposed to emphasize his justness as a positive quality.
Does the sentence contradict itself or "dispensing of justice" means disregard to what's going on (or ..?)? Thanks
