The Most Irritating and Mind-Boggling Refereeing decisions of all time.

Bairnsfan · 26-10-2009, 09:18 PM

This can be for your club, or one that you've seen on the internet. Thought it would be quite funny. Don't go and post some dodgy refereeing compilation that some sad little man put on YouTube, but stick to isolted incidents that affected(or could have affected) your club/country, or influenced the result of any game of interest. No petty random fouls, just total stonkers.

I'll start the ball rolling.

adriano's handball. not surprised at all that that particular ref let it stand either, in retrospect, but still baffling how he said it wasn't a handball..

By the way, the guidelines are as follows:

If you cringed when you saw it, it gets in.
If you went mental when you saw it, it gets in.
If you found it hilarious, it gets in.
If you were at the match and had to laugh or else you'd cry, it gets in.

the referee at the chelsea barca semi final's entire performance was insane

it qualifies two ways, i was at the match and i went mental

Ben Watson's sending off against Reading I was there and burst out laughing in disbelief.

Probably the only time someone will be sent off for taking a FK too quickly

Spurs v Utd, the ball went about a metre in to the goal and wasn't counted.

my guess is that this was in extra time and the guy kicked the ball as if to waste time, so he was given a card

The game was in stoppage time and Zamalek were losing 1-0 (the goalie's team). The forward was called for offside and kicked the ball a little right when the keeper was about to pick it up to take the freekick. So the ref booked him for time wasting and it was his second yellow of the game. Fair enough.

But the keeper was lalalalaed at the forward and attacked him as you saw in the video and only received a yellow card. That should have been a straight red!

I think you'll find he's the highest earner at Barcelona this year.

allowed barcalona the chance to reach the CL final by refusing to award chelsea at least 3 stonewall penalty's, and even the most biased of barca fans can't deny the referee was a joke that night, he even sent off abidal for nothing so he wasnt biased just rubbish
