Who can referee better than Tom Henning Ovrebo? (8 Viewers)

[swag]

Referee Tom Henning Ovrebo is quickly making history.

He was the ref who missed the handball by Thierry Henry when France played Ireland in the WC2010 qualifying playoffs. [EDIT: OK, correction: that was Martin Hansson -- who happened to ref the recent Arsenal-Porto match that had Wenger flip out.] Then on today's first leg of the Fiorentina-Bayern Munich tie, he added a wild red card on Massimo Gobbi followed by missing that Miroslav Klose was about six yards offside (as suggested by Football Italia) for the winning goal.

So before Referee Tom causes more damage in the later rounds of the Champions League, not to mention this summer's World Cup, what are your recommendations for a better replacement?

Poll forthcoming.

Let me start with a few suggestions. Feel free to contribute.

  [*] Actor Gary Busey
  
  
  
  
  [*] Stevie Wonder
  
  
  
  
  [*] Charles Manson

I'm pretty sure he was the guy who disallowed Toni's goal v Romania in the last euros?
And I thought he didn't ref in the Ireland match?

Is this loser appointed to referee matches in SA 2010?

Actually, I think you're right -- that may have been Martin Hansson, who ironically ref'ed the Arsenal-Porto match.

But Ovrebo was the ref that Drogba got banned for 4 matches over after Chelsea lost to Barca.

Voted for Gary Busey but I'd like to suggest fellow thespian Tom Sizemore.

Sky sports said that it was Hansson, football italia says it was Ovrebo

I'm pretty sure it was Hansson, another questionable ref who is also going to be in South Africa this summer

 

[Dragon]

Another candidate should be that controversial ref who was at the Italy - S. Korea match in 2002! Byron Moreno!

Gary Busey is legend...and hopefully Ovrebo keeps on upsetting rat fans like Violas

 

[Tommy]

wtf was that? The Klose goal was just a terrible decision. It is very sad to see such third grade decisions in Europe's top competition

 

[pitbull]

Ovrebo is a disgrace, he already fucked up South Africa tournament a bit, as on the deciding match for 2nd place in group and play-offs, he gave Greece a very dubious penalty against Latvia while latvian's where winning 2:1. After that Greece went from strength to strength, but mine guys were left with broken hearts.
My vote goes for Stevie Wonder, he seems to be a good lad, not like the psycho, murderer, dead-guy or donut.

FORZA OVREBO

A donut of course.
