[Sviatoslav]

This could get out of hand soon. This ref does not seem to have control of this game at all.

 

[D4Danger]

pro-tip: don't run up to the ref and scream in his face

 

[Kurtofan]

Shit refereeing.

 

[kitch9]

Ugh, first match of the tournament and the officials are already gifting the matches to however they see fit.

Every damn tournament they completely fuck up.

 

[Salvadora]

This is a joke. Greece robbed.

 

[Mastadon]

No way the ref could have seen it, the assistant at the back should have spotted it

 

[Konosuke]

Perfect!

 

[Totalriot]

That was no penalty.

 

[Overdoziz]

Wonder how much Poland paid the ref.

 

[Hixx]

and the completely embarrassing referring has already started. Clear penalty.

Deliberate movement of the arm towards the ball? He didn't even know where the ball was man!

 

[IceCold]

Poland has 12 players on the field.

 

[choodi]

Fucking penalty

 

[Dark Schala]

This is some of the worst referreeing I've seen in a darn while.

wtf.

 

[Envelope]

Not even one half over, and Euro 2012 is off to a fantastic start. Bullshit reds, blatant handballs... just how far down the rabbit hole will we go this time?

 

[cashman]

What a shameless display

 

[Brinbe]

47 mins in and can already tell this is gonna be a hilarious tourney.

 

[Verano]

Never a penalty. GTFO

quiet meus or else arsenal is going to have a bad season.

 

[darkside31337]

Stern has taken over UEFA reffing too.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Handball decision

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

What a shit ref.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Have UEFA hired the FIA stewards to officiate this game?

 

[GorillaJu]

No way in hell that was a penalty. Not in a million years

Deserved yellow there for protesting.

 

[Arjen]

Dat UNICEF money

 

[Wilbur]

Wasn't a penalty, please. How could he have known where the ball was?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

If this is what UEFA are allowing then the whole tournament is going to be a joke, we may as well hand the trophy to one of Ukraine or Poland right now and forget about the rest of the matches.

Complete and utter joke.

 

[Gambit]

What a shit ref.

Is that the same guy that sent Klose off at the last World Cup (against Croatia)? The one that generously handed out yellows like business cards?

If so, why the fuck is that guy still doing international games?

 

[MMaRsu]

Fire this fucking ref dont they review this shit in the break?

Not a penalty? Are some of you trolling us here? The first and second yellow were clearly bullshit.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Are you guys seriously claiming that was a penalty or are you complaining about the red prior to that

 

[Gareth Bale]

Need to see it again but I don't think that was a penalty.

 

[Clydefrog]

I hate being at work while Euro games are going on. I am taking the longest lunch today to watch most of the next game.

 

[S. L.]

hah i was waiting for that one

 

[Future Foundation]

Perfect sadface. This is getting lots of use.

16 cards in 19 games? What the fuck is that?

 

[helloresolven]

This ref had 16 red cards in 19 La Liga matches? What the hell!?

 

[Divius]

Fine first half. Poland looks strong. Ref is terrible.

 

[Draconian]

lol at the ref having 16 send offs in 19 games in La Liga.

Of course he gets chosen for a match like this. I would say I'm shocked, but I'm not.

 

[The perfect Dark]

who else is thinking that this wasn't the last red card? ^^

 

[Verano]

I blame Barca, guys.

 

[Arjen]

Not even one half over, and Euro 2012 is off to a fantastic start. Bullshit reds, blatant handballs... just how far down the rabbit hole will we go this time?

If they will keep this up, Gaf will implode

 

[SxP]

This ref is a disgrace.

 

[krishian]

That's really not a penalty. The two yellows were bullshit, but he got that one right.

 

[gutterboy44]

What the fuck is up with that desk at BBC half time?! It looks like part of 2001 A Space Odyssey movie set.

 

[DangerousMali]

divers are licking their lips watching this match

 

[Wilbur]

If that got given as a penalty against England or United I'd petrol bomb a tapas bar as a matter of principle.

 

[Talon]

That's not a penalty. It wasn't intentional play with the hand.

Poalnd was owning possession, though. They should've had one more with that sitter in the box that the strike just bottled. Bendtner-esque.

 

[Dark Schala]

Is that the same guy that sent Klose off at the last World Cup? The one that generously handed out yellows like business cards?

If so, why the fuck is that guy still doing international games?

That's him?!

Why's he still here? D:

This ref had 16 red cards in 19 La Liga matches? What the hell!?

Hahahahaha. Oh man.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

How is a shit ref like this in the tournament to begin with.

 

[Hixx]

who else is thinking that this wasn't the last red card? ^^

If the Greeks don't calm down at half time, there will definitely be another red.

 

[Overdoziz]

Are you guys seriously claiming that was a penalty or are you complaining about the red prior to that

Mainly the red card which was bullshit. Neither of the two yellow cards were deserved.

 

[Jal]

Handball decision

No chance.

 

[Totalriot]

You might be on to something
