    Yep, same reason why the English officials can't referee the Spain-France game.

    It's called RateTheRef. I don't post on it, I just read it from time to time. It's quite interesting to get other referee's opinions on decisions from PL games or CL or whatever.

    EURO HOLLAND TICKETS!!!
    This may be of interest to someone:
    A friend of mine has 2 tickets in a corporate box for the England v Holland game on Wednesday .
    He paid £2,750 each, but he didn't realise when he bought them months ago that the game was going to be the same day as his wedding!
    If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place.
    It's at Southampton Registry Office in Bugle Street, at 5pm. Her name is Louise. She's 5'5", red head, size 10, quite pretty, has a good income and is a really good cook.

    OK, so on one hand we are talking about officials being honest and full of integrity which is why it seems OK to let some guy that took a bribe referee a European Championship semi-final but French or English officials can't do it in case they favour one of the teams getting through to face their own country in the final (should they even make it). Got it <doh>

    My Euros question of the day:

    Do we think Southgate thinks late, late, late substitutions are some kind of sign of tactical genius or does he know it is insane?

    Given the posts re bent refs and election gambling the commission should be checking for unusual betting patterns.

    In case you didn’t hear it on the commentary. Apparently it’s salty German fans because he got away with a handball against them or something.
