UNCLE FESTER CANT GET AWAY WITH THIS. HE AND PLATINI­­ MUST BE INVESTIGATED. PLATINI HAS ALWAYS HATED­ ENGLAND,­ THE LITTLE CHEATING SCUM.

surpisingly the worst decision was make by english­ referee when he booked croatian palyer 3 time during­ world cup 2006 not even make it into 10 worst referree­ decision...this yahoo sports must be control fascist­ members...must be relative of sir oswald mosley !!!!

And no one remembers Cameroon-England during world cup­ 1990 in Italy during the quarters.No one remembers how­ the Africans were brutally cheated out of a clear­ victory with controversial penalty awards to­ England.This man should be put in jail and left to rot­ there forever and ever.

What about England v Spain in the quarter finals of­ Euro 96... Spain had 2 goals disallowed for off side­ when they were by FAR NOT off side... as a consequence­ Spain lost in penalties...

And what with 1982 WC Spain-Yugoslavia.... Non existing­ penalty and 3 times taken, in order to Spain go in to­ the second round?

As a neutral with no ties to any teams in the­ competition, I felt that the penalty claims were very­ ambigious. Neither hand ball looked deliberate although­ have seen them given before. Drogba really has to look­ hard at himself as a professional player, his constant­ diving, whining and unsporting behaviour has come back­ to bite him in the bum i'm afraid. Which is a shame­ as he is great player. A Little less conversation and a­ little more action please. Also, if players are both­ wrestling for the ball why should the attacker be given­ the advantage over the defending player- as far as I­ could see one of the incidents really amounted to a bit­ of protracted wrestling with both players falling to­ the ground - penalty no - just a bit of old fashioned­ mans game football, If you give it out expect it back­ is my motto. Again sending off was wrong -more diving­ which really hurts the reputation of our game, Chelsea­ should have won the game anyway but for some poor­ finishing. The problem in defending the way Chelsea did­ is that very often you lose a break away goal. In any­ case Ballack really should have closed down the strike­ - see basic defending 101.

It seems that your thoughts are too old as most of your­ references are quite out of date or at a low level­ soccer. What we are talking about is a semi final and­ not group stages where many people are needed for­ refereeing. From Semi final it means that the referee­ for the game is one the best in the world or Europe and­ should not referee like Ovrebo. Probably there is­ inefficieny in the UEFA Technical Refereeing Committee­ if they make such decisions. I do not blame the referee­ much but UEFA that choose him. Becuase if you are­ requested to present one your best and the person­ presented fails, tyou have failed.

By far the worst decision I ever saw was during a­ Scottish Premier League game. Striker hit the ball into­ the net from distance with the keeper well beaten.­ Defender who thought it was a goal walked into the­ back of net, picked up the ball and handed it to the­ keeper. The referee then waved play on for a goal kick.­ absolutely shocking- does anyone remember the game - I­ think the ref was Les Mottram but not sure.

That's why we need video referee and can't wait­ to see this technology in place. If you can punish the­ players after the match, why can't we punish the­ referees. It's not fair

2 more controversies. The already mentioned Hurst's­ goal against Germany in 1966, and of course the quarter­ final match of the 1990 world cup England vs. Cameroon.­ Two penalties for England, both harsh, especially the­ first one which sent the game into overtime.

Bottom­ line... Refereeing mistakes ARE PART OF THE GAME. They­ are not on purpose. Especially at this level (world­ cups, CL, Euros...)

I don't recall someone making­ an accounting mistake or an administrative mistake or­ medical/dental mistake ever getting death threats.­

P.S. To all the Chelsea fans: You should be mad at­ Didier Drogba. He missed a chance that no player from­ the 4th-5th tier of football league in every country is­ allowed to miss.

And you had the chance to be kings of­ Europe... Unfortunately the pitch in Moscow was­ slippery. Or was it just your captain's lack of­ concentration?

Duh. 1986 - Argentina vs. England. Maradona's­ notorious "Hand of God" goal against England.­ Still makes me ill to see the video. Horrid non-call.

how many more awful decisions will professional­ football have to witness before we introduce a fourth­ video ref? virtually every other sport now employs­ video refs, why should football be different?

France Germany 1982 world cup. That a ref makes a bad­ call is one thing. but when a player intentionally hurt­ another player and knocks him unconscious? how blind­ can you be? that was a disgrace. 1 would hope­ schumacher would have received some kind of punishment­ for it..

There was NO clear penalty in Barçelona- Chelsea game .­ Two dives apiece by Drogba and Anelka . An unitentional­ foul by Pique ( ball to hand NOT hand to ball) . The­ ball hit Eto'o under the armpit . No foul there­ either . Malouda's incident was borderline . It­ could have been a dive as well . Let's not forget­ that Chelsea have some of the biggest divers in­ football; Drogba, Joe Cole, Malouda ,Ballack !!

1966 IT WAS A GOOD GOAL

It is well known in the industry that UEFA and FIFA­ both have a negative bias aimed at both the English­ national team and English Premier League clubs.

For­ that reason Tom Henning Ovrebo should win this­ competition. He was fundamentally anti-English... and­ anti-football when refereeing the game between Chelsea­ and Barcalona. His decisions reeked of UEFA and/or­ FIFA involvement. People were openly stating this­ before the game had even started.

Now I am no fan of­ Chelsea... but a wide ranging criminal investigation­ into corruption at both FIFA and UEFA should be­ launched and those responsible (if found guilty)­ brought to justice.

Alas, we all know that it will be­ brushed quietly under the carpet by those interested­ parties... and fines/bans placed on the outraged­ players.

all the 10 givwn decisions were horrible especially the­ hand of god.
but most of them were single mistakes made­ in the match which had devastating effects on the match­ but remain single mistakes.
ovrebo made upto 5 very­ very bad decisions in just one game.
so doesnt this­ count as the worst refereeing ever.
what hiddink said­ was perfect , it was the worst refereeing match of his­ career

good on the club backing Drogba,he only said what­ everyother true fan was thinking. THE REFEREE WAS­ INDEED DISGRACEFUL AND NOT UP TO A MATCH OF THIS­ QUALITY,BAD LUCK, CHELSEA,Corwot,Norwich

Speaking of refereeing descisions that affected­ outcomes of games and tournaments, You forgot to­ include Geoff Hurst's third goal in the 1966 final.
