It's a shame you can't tell a jokey comment from a serious comment on a forum very easily isn't it Azul. It was a joke. About 90% of the things I say on this forum are jokey comments and not to be taken seriously.

I'm an England fan but hey I agree with him, even though I celebrated I kinda knew he was gonna disallow it.

ANY contact with the keeper and it's gonna be a free kick.

And now thanks to the idiots at papers like The Sun, we English look like a right bunch of arrogant tvvats.

It's this kind of comment that makes me want to stab you numerous times with a blunt implement.

He has been pulled from reffereeing the Semi's or the Final. UEFA secretely must have been fuming at that goal decision.

Everyone hates England, so we'll just have to live with decisions going against us for a long time yet.

Was looking around on the web and a few places have mentioned that a number of pro refs have agreed with Meiers decision to not alllow the goal - as have the refs panel.

Entirely true Solskjaer. I saw it as well, and was thinking "What the hell are they doing?"
They also had some ref blabbing on about how Meier was wrong and that he himself would've given the goal.
Not because he's English or anything, no, no bias involved whatsoever.

The worst part of it all has been the way in which "certain members" of the English media have reacted to Meir's POSITIVE descision.

They may have over-shadowed the BBC in terms of presentation for the tournament (this year...), but did you see the ITV news soon after people realised he had his own website? They were TELLING people to e-mail him with their abuse - a complete and utter disgrace!!

It got so bad, infact, that they had to stop recieving e-mails altogether because things got so out-of-hand.

Increasing people's awareness of his site is one thing... ENCOURAGING people to do such a thing like this is one-other entirely - and just think how many youngsters could've been watching; "the street-smashers of tommorow"!

If it's like that then you might aswell not have wingers to cross the ball in.

The keeper will just run into someones arm and get the goal disallowed every time.
