Referees

[stewarty 2,060]

I blame FIFA - they put so much pressure on referee's every single World Cup that it's no surprise that some go crazy. Perhaps we'll appreciate the Scottish Referees's a bit more having watched some of these guys.

 

Also, is there not a case for FIFA finding a panel of referee's to officiate at all the games regardless of where they come from. I'll stand corrected, but does each country that qualifies not nominate their top ref to go to the WC - Surely there are better ref's around, who've refereed more top flight action and can handle the pressure than the likes of those from Togo etc.

that pleb that refereed the italy/oz game, where have i seen him before?

 

i`m positive he made an arse of a rangers european tie recently.

 

so, no suprise then that next time i see him he`s giving penalties that shouldn`t be and sending off materazzi that should`ve been a yellow.

 

fucking joke:mad:

total opposite tonight in ukraine - Swiss!

 

get the feeling he's trying to make a point by not taking a card out at all!

 

but how the fuck he missed the clear stamping on the ukrainian boy i'll never know!

 

bring back collina!

It just seems every foul is now a yellow card. If they want to do that then i think there should be a third card for minor fouls. Getting sent off for kicking the ball away and a wee pull of the shirt in midfield is a bit over the top.

i`m now dreading the start of this season as the refs will be out to get rangers with their excuse to book anything that moves now:mad:
