BOF Posted April 11, 2007 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2007 I know I'm a week late, but I've been ill. OK so bearing in mind he gave a penalty that was never in a million years a penalty. Bearing in mind he gave a throw-in to Spurs despite the ball clearly hitting the flag and going behind for a corner to them. Giving free-kicks to Sevilla for blatant fouls ON Spurs players. Spurs player gets sandwiched between 2 Sevilla players ? Free kick to Sevilla. Also bearing in mind that he has done this before for Sevilla - sending off 2 opponents and giving dubious penalties. With all of the evidence above, was it corruption, was it honest but terrible refereeing or did he do a good job? I honestly think we witnessed corruption that night. I felt sick watching it.

Jez Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Joke that ref was. Didn't he just make up his own rules as well. Ball hit corner flag and went out for a corner to spurs instead he gives a drop ball, at first it thought it was some rule but nope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Appauling ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Dont think he was corrupt, and i think the furor over the penalty was blown out of all proportion as those kinds of decisions are given somewhere in the world most weeks. He did have a crap game though. Dodgy ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee_Jim Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I just think he was absolutely incompetent and weak. Influenced 100% by the noisy home support. I don't think he was corrupt, at least I really hope he wasn't. It would be a sad day for us all if that sort of thing took hold of football. I really think his performance that night should be reviewed by UEFA tho, ref's that poor and easily influenced should never be in charge of a match at that level.

Pike-star Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 BOF.. i honestly agree with you, those major points crossed my mind during and since that game! I believe it to be corruption! Blatant as well!.. best thing now would be to see if he referees anymore games in the uefa cup this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I think he was from luxembourg and usually refs games there. UEFA's fault for having an inexpierienced/part time ref do an important match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccerHQ Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Magical Sevilla, playing Spurs off the pitch at the moment. How many years do you reckon Spurs are behind Sevilla, I'll say 25. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
