as a goal line official. How those utter morons missed the Juve pen claim and perhaps, in the balance of fairness, Son, having his shirt held and pulled about for an age ?
Both of those officials were facing the infringements from all of about 5 metres away.. :homer:
And what did they say to the referee?Quote:

None, if they are all corrupt but such a measure would be working from the standpoint that they're not.
