Is it just me?

Is it just me?

I've been looking at replays of Frank Lampard's disallowed goal in the game last night, and it seems to me that the ball may have crossed the line. What do you think?

Football’s cheats

I've never really been able to understand why Maradona, clearly a God-fearing man, could blame God for his cheating. Surely anyone looking to book a place in heaven should really not be trying to piss the Big Guy off in such a way. a bit rude, if you ask me. Maradona has, of course, recently been usurped in the list of footballing disgraces by [...]

Piss poor refereeing #3: Literally piss-poor refereeing

Piss poor refereeing #3: Literally piss-poor refereeing

Hello all Guardian readers in particular: I always read the sport section and am well chuffed when some of you manage to find your way here. A referee in the legendary Kuwaiti League Al Gharafah v Al Khor fixture sees fit to whip it out and have a slash during the game, thus redefining the term 'piss-poor refereeing'. If the video clip [...]

Neil Warnock in ‘angry with ref’ shocker

Neil Warnock in ‘angry with ref’ shocker

People's favourite Neil Warnock reacted with fury after the ref in charge of Crystal Palace's match at Bristol City 'failed to notice' Palace open the scoring after 34 minutes. In a bizarre situation, Palace striker Freddie Sears clearly rifled home into the bottom corner, with the ball bouncing straight back out of the net after hitting the rear [...]

Piss poor refereeing #2: Drunk Belarusian ref

On the subject of drunken idiots, take a look at this referee. This 'merry' Belarusian football ref comes on drunk after half time... so drunk is he, he has to be escorted off the pitch, failing to walk in a straight line. Now that's some heavy half time boozing. Actually, as a drinker myself, I'm leaning toward a 'spiked drink' theory, as [...]

Champions League semi-final second-leg: Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona

Champions League semi-final second-leg: Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona

A crap referee, yesterday. Absolutely disgracefully bad. I'm talking about the referee, of course. The referee's performance was labelled as 'the worst I've seen' by Guus Hiddink, and you have to say he has a point. It all started so well. Big Michael Essien sent Stamford Bridge bonkers in the ninth minute with a majestic volley that gave clown [...]

Piss poor refereeing #1: Les Mottram

About half way through this clip clip you'll see quite possibly the worst decision ever made by a referee in the history of football. Scottish referee Les Mottram not only misses Dundee United player Paddy Connelly scoring but then disregards the fact that the Partick Thistle defender catches the ball and hands it to his keeper. Instead of giving [...]
