I agree...the referee was sold :/ The penalty kick was definitely unfair...wrrr. Artur Boruc was irreplaceable at this match and at the beginning of the game he was actually the only one, who was playing properly. Bravo for him!

All refs are sold and have been.

I wait for comments from English people ;)

The most obvious comment I could make would be that rarely if ever is the accusation made by English supporters that the referee was 'sold'.

The suggestion probably tells us more about the mentality of those attacking the referee than the referee himself.

Unfortunately for the Polish team, this was a penalty.
You have to know that pulling a player down in that area ... is penalty. This was very very stupid from that Polish player.

Polish team may praise their goal keeper ... otherwise it was not 1-1 but 3-1 for the Austrians.

damnnn... it could be that nice... wrrr (but the referee was sold)
Now we can only wait for a miracle...


However, Poland's goal should have been declared offside. At the very instant the passing player's foot made contact with the ball, that Brazilian, who bizarrely was on the pitch, was marginally offside.

Miracles don't happen. You're either good, bad, or are having a bad hair day (see Germany). I know everyone would love to see Poland go further, but trying to find excuses for shitty gameplay is just lame.

No he was not:

No they don't, same as (as one of my uni prof's often said) two butts (in Polish slang buttcheek=poldupek/polglowek a.k.a. someone not entirely mentally stable) don't make an ass. He was of course refering to my fellow classmates.

That is the goal?????
I didn't see the Austrian sat behind the touchline last night. Are you sure you didn't just glue him in?

Someone else might, though. And apparently did.

Now seriously, did you guys notice how many goals have been scored for far from more or less evident offside positions during this tournament?

With the stakes so high and the difficulty of making the decisions also high (come on, we are all experts sat at home watching slowed down replays on TV, but being a linesman/referee is SO easy) it would be easier to scrap offside. That would prevent a lot of rather unsporting whinging every weekend and also make the game more exciting I reckon.

That, or FIFA could finally accept the blessing of video replays, as it was done long ago by the barbaric FIBA, NBA, NHL and so on...

It seems the obvious thing to do.

England would probably have one the rugby world cup had it not been for video replays, (a try ruled invalid by the fourth official).

Unfortunately using video technology led to a five minute delay in this final because, ridiculously, the French tv technicians didn't speak English, nor the match official French.

More people working, more technology, more expense, more reason to jack up prices.
Simpler rules, old-fashioned refereeing, and an acceptance from all involved that mistakes are made and sometimes they go for you and sometimes they go against. Strange though that nobody every acknowledges the mistakes that go in their favour....

Temat: Poland v Austria:

sorry, but this is also related

I don't know if you're nasza-klasa addicts as myself

I just cannot believe how many people feel the need to get a visual revenge on the referee by placing offensive photos and rude comments about him in their profiles

perhaps I'm not programmed to comprehend it, not being a football fan myself, but it's just so PRIMITIVE and vulgar - I mean blaming the referee for everything (irrespective whether he was wrong or not)

it's a men's game, eh?

ugh.
