German ref for the final

[Gwylan]

Markus Merk will ref the final, with Anders Frisk and Pierluigi Collina getting the semis.

Thought it would have been Collina in his last finals, but there you go.

 

[Marshy]

Collina did the opener because he wasnt getting the Final.

 

[Gwylan]

Forgot he had the opener. So much for the idea that the ref for the final comes from the quarter-finalists.

At least it's not Meier.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Meier's absence after being tipped for the final tells you all you need to know about the official line on his handling of our game and the disallowed goal.
