The Referee was clearly offside

We’ve all seen games when the referee’s decisions have affected the outcome, but rare is the time when the referee’s goal scoring prowess is the difference. The classic clip above shows the referee netting a goal against the Turkish club Besiktas. As luck would have it, they lost the game 1-0 and finished in second place that season one point away from a championship. If only they had marked the referee better!

  What was he doing in the 6 yard box, let alone in front of goal?

  That’s what I’d like too BootsnAll… the ref has no place to be in that spot, precisely for reasons like this.

  There is no debate on whether the goal should stand or not (the ref is considered like a 3rd post) but if I were the team he ’scored’ on, I’d be really pissed on the fact he was standing there at that precise moment.

  Remember the U.S.-Mexico game where some Mexican dude tried to pass to the ref and it led to a Donovan break and a goal? This reminds me of that…
