how about some horrible referees in the world cup ?

[Back Door Skip]

He did fine, he just didn't have the balls to reverse the call after the replay was shown.

I dont think he's even allowed to do that. Playing things by the book, he has to make a decision based on what he and his linemen saw, not on video evidence. That, at least for now, goes against the laws of this sport.

 

[1966+2006]

True, though he is allowed to change his mind until he blows his whistle for a restart.
I don't think many refs would have done things differently.

Police Refuse to Look at Surveillance Video of Sepp Blatter Getting Stabbed

Johannesburg Police officials say they will not look at surveillance video taken of the scene where FIFA president Sepp Blatter was stabbed this morning.

"We had officers near the scene of the attack, and if they didn't see anything, that's the best we can do," said Johannesburg Police chief Abraham Kefentse. "I think human error is meant to be part of investigating crimes. It has always been that way."
