Ok, thanks a lot! I am just amazed that most of times I think the refs made a bad offside call, the replay shows I'm wrong. The guys at WC are very good at what they do. Hence the shock at such a wrong decision.

Bayern got a goal like that against Fiorentina, and you can forgive them for saying it matters. In our case it was the 2-1 at the end of the game... we lost down there 3-2 but went through on away goals. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

What the? You obviously don't read the rugby newsgroup. There is *at least* as much bitching there about refereeing as there is here. If not more. Myk
