He wasn't paid off, nor was there any conspiracy. There were 4 minutes of added time, and during that period there were (supposedly) many fouls and many times the game had to be stopped. That's why it lasted for another 3 minutes. What really is disgusting is the way Steaua supporters, players, even the coach and board officials treated him afterwards. He had to leave the field in police escort, otherwise he undoubtedly would have been lynched. Savages
The player who got a red card was the one to blame for.... Whut was he thinking, they were leading with 3 goals and that was unnecessary and really2 stupid...
Refs are only human, I doubt any of us could do any better at making decisions, keeping up with the game, translating wtf the players are saying to us, getting a comfortable view on every event in the match AND maintaining the time. The only exception to this is Tom Henning Ovrebo. You simply can't defend him
I don't see the issue with the 8 minutes of added time. There were 4 mins added time at first. Then Steaua keeper was having injury for 3 minutes. Later Steaua pulls a slow substitution. It was the right decision. Napoli definitely did score on their very last chance. The whistle surely would have blown after that play
What a great game, regardless of all the extra time added on.... Great comeback, even better group celebration from Napoli at the end.... Spledida partida!
IMO it was a fair result.... Considering that steau the one who let it slip from their grab.... The game change the other way around when that crap player receive a red card for elbowing his opponent, I dunno whut was he thinking really.... Leading with 3goals can't even please him.... And btw whut a great clebration from napoli
Napoli showed positive attitude to have a great comeback from 3-0 down after 15 mins.... They showed real determination and considering the inexperienced line up, it was a fantastic draw. And a great goal from hamsik, the prodigy!
I actually have seen the match and the Polish ref was a disgrace, because there were only two injuries in the additional time, than he He let the game another extra 4 mins until minute 98. That was a biased ref, just because Hamsik was playing for Napoli he was with Napoli.... As for the red, well the guy did not deserve a straight red.... He was too harsh. Anyways.... If you people say that it was fair, than I would love this to happen to the team you support, than I will see how you would react.
