I'm sure you have heard of the call ag...Peter,<br /><br />I'm sure you have heard of the call against MU in their game vs Real Madrid recently. The winner went to the Quarters in the Champion League. Is this not a great learning tool for ALL referees? I saw the play and from the TV angle it was CLEARLY NOT a foul. It was 2 players looking at the high ball and colliding. The red card given had alot to do with MU LOSING millions of dollars and Real with a chance to bring in millions. The CL tourney can mean a profit or loss for the year for many of the participants.<br /><br />#1 how could 4 fifa referees not get this right? Was it the angle of view (Bob Evans video) that the CR not have? Was it an AR giving his opinion from his angle? Where was the CR at the point of collision? <br />#2 decisions can mean MILLIONS of dollars. <br />#3 Referees HAVE to get it right!<br /><br />I have seen this play many times as you have. How could we miss it?<br /><br />I say its a great learning tool because of the incredible effect it will have on a team.<br /><br />I have gone long on this and I apologized. Its just that the game is SO IMPORTANT that referees got to get it right. Henry's hand ball goal sending Ireland crashing out of WC qualifying is another incident of tremendous importance.<br /><br />Thanks for listening. Best of luck in your endeavors.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
