Yeah it's always the referee's final decision and no one can argue with that! pity, some games rely on those critical whistle of the referee. for example, during Italy vs. Romania match. A valid goal was annulled by the referee. at the end of the game after the Euro2008 Commission reviewed, the referee just said "Sorry, i was wrong". the heck...Italy ended up with the score of 1 instead of 2. Do you see a lot of errors on every match?

Some decisions will always be wrong regardless of the technology we bring into the game. Yes there are some terrible decisions at times, but the ref doesnt have the benefit of multiple replays and reverse angles, so he gets that split-second snapshot. Over a season i will see a number of bad ones against my team, but then there will be those that go in our favour. It's in the nature of the individual to support a favourable decision for their team and berate any against, which is why i try not to get overly agitated by mistakes. Sometimes they go your way others they dont.

yeah i know. we're just "fans" and just there to see those erros (bad or good) for our teams. anyway, no one's pèrfect. but in other games, they have the "video referee" right?

I've not seen a video referee used yet. I know there has been lots of discussion about deploying it in England

Hey do you really watch their games? I am not really fond of watching soccer games, but maybe when we have our own Filipino team to fight with other teams from countries outside the Philippines I would do my best to watch the game. Maybe Philipines vs. Italy? hehe

I saw Italy vs Romania. I can't believe how wrong the referee was. I wanted to go there and just tell him some...he was so wrong...i can't believe he made this kind of mistake. i didn't see other mistakes, but that one was a really bad decision.

i think that refferee also was bad at the end in match turkey and croatia, he was good during the whole match but he allow the game to keep playing until they score in 122 minute but only 1 minute was added on, and also 4th referre doesnt allow a croatian manager to make substitute in this added time

yeah i saw that angry face over the coach of Croatia. if the referee had whistled that minute, the ball will not be passed thru and Croatia definitely won! pity!
