Yes, the referee did indeed fart during the match.\n\nThe stadium had to be evacuated.  Said Ronaldinho, who spoke briefly while being treated for smoke inhalation: "suspend him".

you're a student of NODET so i would say you probably support france,if not then Brazil?\n\nyou recently asked a question(which i answered correctly by the way),but you voted for a best answer someone who gave you the wrong answer!\nsurely if you didn't know the answer yourself,you should've let the community vote for you?!!\n\nthe question was if the ball hit the ref and went in would it be a goal,or if he stopped a goal,what would happen?\n\n100% it would be a goal\n100% if he stopped it it would not count,play would continue as normal!\n\nif the ball hits the referee on any part of the pitch.play will continue.\n\neven if a fan ran on and the ball hit him,play would continue as normal,play only stops for free kicks,penalties,injuries or if the ball goes out of play!

I don't know,but he's out of his mind.Yes,the ref was  brutal,but his two worst decisions cost Barca a goal, and gifted arsenal one.\nLehman had to go

No you try to open your eyes and see what everybody else See's.\nChelsea are a team of thugs. next time a decision goes against Chelsea watch how many player surround the ref. And what about the referee meeting the Chelsea manager to try to help him, " LIKE he does will all the other managers" ...."NOT"

Hey no way dude. He's one of the best in the world, especially after how Graham Poll screwed up in the Australia-Croatia match. I mean, how can you give a player 3 yellows before sending him off?? That's just totally unacceptable.\n\nSo yea, Shamsul Maidin is now one of the contenders to be referee for the finals. Even if he doesn't get the call to officiate that match, it's very probable that he'll still be ref for one of the semi-final matches, or the 3rd/4th placing match.\n\nIt's just that Fifa takes some time to deliberate over who should officiate which match, so I guess you'll just have to wait for updates.

Yeah, him and Wenger. Wenger was furious about Spurs not kicking the ball out of play when they scored. Spurs claimed they didn't see the injury. Wenger's making excuses for his loss, just like "the special one" "Oh, they had a good referee, everyone seems to hate us, the ball didn't go past the line, Rikjaard bribed the ref, God hates Chelsea" Bl--dy  whiner, I can't stand him and Wenger.

A bad referee decision

Ah, there was some confusion in the translation of the memo the refs got before the WC started and it was too late to switch.\n\nThe original memo said the referees in the world cup need to dress mannequins.

I did see this, and it's definitely questionable.  I used to referee soccer and the ball does not have to be directly kicked towards an offensive player to be considered offsides.  Once past the final defender, any ball put in play in that direction will render the player offsides.  This play seemed to be a huge error in officiating at the World Cup.

The man who has refereed most matches is Frenchman Joël Quiniou. He was in charge of 8 matches between 1986-1994

Yes he most definately did, but you seem to forget to mention all the diving that as taking place by the Barcelona players too, Deco, Eto'o, Guily.\n\nIf you can't match them, join them.

It's shameful, he made at least 5 bad calls throughout the evening, at least 3 of which influenced the match outcome.\n\n1) He sent off a goalkeeper in the 18th minute.  Not only did he ruin the prospect of a tantalizing final, he effectively handed the trophy to Barcelona.  Tell me, if that decision is made against Barca, would they have won?  He should have given the goal, given the yellow card and let the match go on.\n\n2) He gave a free kick for a dive from which Arsenal scored their first.\n\n3) He did not give offside for the first Barcelona goal.\n\n4) He gave a yellow card to Henry for making a good tackle.\n\n5) He give a foul against Arsenal when replays showed that Reyes did not even touch Martinez.\n\nThis referee took the shine off Barcelona's win.  We'll never know if Barcelona is the best European club this season.\n\nHe ruined the Chelsea-Barcelona match earlier this season by sending off a player early in the first half, when it is clear Messi made a meal out of a bad challenge.  That's a yellow card offense, but no red card.\n\nGood referees should never be noticed.  It is odd that Hauge is allowed to referee two matches with Barcelona involved.  This should never happen.\n\nThis game also proved that we better have some form of video technology to assist poor referees during important matches.  Imagine a World Cup final refereed by someone like Terje Hauge.

FIFA announced today they will be taking no further action against Figo. Portugal's manager is planning to appeal Deco's red card. No news on the ref, Ivanov. Three highly regarded European refs have had bad matches, Ivanov, Merk, and Poll. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw all three again.

Technically he was correct, however you are always instructed as a referee to hesitate a moment before blowing your whistle. If the referee had followed this he would have allowed the goal for Barcelona and would have only had to issue a yellow card to the keeper. History has shown us that referees who are too quick with their whistles do not get a second chance. Clive Thomas, a Welsh referee, who was one of the best in the World back in the 70's, denied Brazil a place in the quarter finals of a World Cup, I believe it was '74, because he did not use patience and common sense and never handled a big FIFA game again. He blew his whistle to signal the end of the game when the ball was on it's way into the net, and would have given Brazil the win they needed to progress. What difference would it make to allow a few extra seconds in these situations?

Pour moi c'est pas le meilleur.Techniquement il semble etre doué mais nombreux de ces gestes ne servent à rienc'est un peu du cirque.Si le barca a brillé cette année c'est à cause de leur effectif  et du sens tactiqe de l'antraineur du barca.regarde le brézil c'est pas trops ca. personnellement steven gerrad est le meilleur au monde  il est complet...il a un mental de fer..il est decisif et apporte chaque année un trophé à Liverpool.

There is no doubt it was intentional, no matter which angle do you see it.\nMany times those kinds of fouls are not penalized if they are not seen by the referee and if they don't make the player bleed like this one did.\nItalians are well know for being cheaters...
