you are not alone :D ive been fan of drogba since 2004/2005 when he started at chelsea :D the man is a monster

Referee Claus Bo Larsen has named Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo his 'most annoying player'.

Claus Bo Larsen took charge of Milan's defeat to Ajax on Wednesday

The FIFA Top Class Referee, who took charge of his final Champions League game on Wednesday, claims Ronaldo is always looking to buy free-kicks and that they have to be prepared for his behaviour ahead of Champions League games.

"He's always out to get a cheap free-kick, especially at home," he told Ekstra Bladet. "We tended to talk before games about how he'd go down easily.

"We know not to be biased, but we have to be prepared. He has a clean slate at the start of every game. When he would lie down after failing to win a free-kick, he smiled at me because he knew I didn't fall for his theatrics."

So they know... huh.gif

Am I the only one quite worried about referees going into games with preconcieved opinions?

Obviously we all know that certain players (Ronaldo and Drogba to name two) are more inclined to fall over rather than stay on their feet, but is it really fair that refs go into games expecting this? I know you could say its just a case of the boy who cried wolf (and he does say that players get a "clean slate" for every match, but its still a bit worrying IMO.

It is inevitable, until the day when robots start refereeing

Or FIFA/UEFA and all continental organisations finally enter the 21st century and accept the change technology can bring to the game.. does it make rugby, Cricket, Tennis, American football or any other game boring or any less interesting? No! It brings fairness to the game.. it's very easy for Fifa to write.. Fair play on their ads but they are doing absolutely nothing to ensure it.. more refs will not do anything.. they are also human.. what if one lines man says its a goal and other says its not? The only way to eliminate doubt is technology.. atleast have a certain number of challenges per game that the team captain or manager can make when he feels they are being cheated..

Gattuso is a joke. He should have see red in about every game I've seen him play. Flamini deserved red too for a stupid and dangerous tackle.

Great win for Totenham, and trully deserved.

I couldn't agree more. Officials were far too lenient, but at least they got the right call in injury time. I can't wait for the sideshow at White Hart Lane.
