As Buffon was about to retire anyway, when Oliver sent him off, he should have gone into the goal mouth, pulled down his shorts and laid a big fat cable, before picking it up and throwing it at Ronaldo.

It was a pen, but soft.

 

Could Oliver not have shown a bit of common sense and booked Buffon, and warned him?  

 

 

No, it doesn't matter about "his story" if he just booked him and he saves the pen, it swings the tie. 

 

Unfortunately, it was a pen and it was a red, you can't do that.

Oh obviously it's an English referee. No wonder none are going to the WC

Or the fact the selection process was about 2 years ago and we only named clattenburg who is no longer a FA ref.

 

But don't let that ruin a good story.

Can you honestly say any of them deserve to be there anyway? If yes, I strongly disagree.

Unbelievable specimen isn't he. Best around. 

The best don't act and preen like they're the best because of whatever personal insecurities they might have.

 

Ah well, interesting that there are four different countries in the semis for the first time in a while.

 

Edit: Can see why it's a pen but can't quite get why Buffon had to walk when players get in refs faces all the time and don't.

Never said they did but the 1 official team we listed no longer exists so it's a mute point.

How are they actually selected? The article below says we put forward a few referees.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43110905

 

"The final decision is taken by the FA Referees' Committee and they nominated Martin Atkinson, Stuart Attwell, Robert Madley, Michael Oliver, Craig Pawson, Anthony Taylor and Paul Tierney for 2018."

 

Or am I misreading this?

Your answer is in the 1st few lines. 

 

Mark Clattenburg was the only Briton on Fifa's long list of officials, collated in summer 2016, from which it would choose the final selection for Russia.

But he left his job with the Premier League and forfeited his place.

That implies he was the only one chosen by FIFA before making the final selection, not the only one we put forward, no?

Daft system we tired to replace clattenburg but we know fifa don't like the fa. So as article states request was rejected so we get some ref from Romania or wherever instead who's biggest game is probably cska v arsenal in the Europa League.

Well for a start maradonna definitely did and he was the best of his time (of all time to alot). Regardless of what you think of Ronaldo on the pitch off it he's known as ridiculously nice guy. 

 

Buffon had to walk because he shoved the ref in the back. Not just got in his face he put his hands on him. It's a red card.
