Talk:Manuel Mejuto González

Controversies
This referee should resign. Anyone who works in the public eye must accept the consequences if they make a mistake. Whether there were other motivations behind this decision we will never know, but what we do know is that Italy were caught very recently match fixing. Does anyone really want a country of hooligans, anarchists and communists at the championships? They may play the beautiful game with style but the recent events of fans being killed at matches and the anarchy that followed shows that they really dont deserve to be there, the ref however, seems to disagree. WE'll be coming........

Although this is heavily vandalised, his controversies must still be added in the Wikipedia page, because that was a blatant error by the referee that is worth mentioning.

'''Remember: Italy got a goal disallowed for offside, and the replays showed that it was a legitimate goal. The same assistant referee did not flag for offside when Scotland scored, another error. So, to sum up; the referees made more mistakes against Italy than Scotland''' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodvand (talk • contribs) 13:11, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

who ever wrote the message about behavior obviously wanted the italians to win as at the airport after been told he couldn't take 2 bags on the plane with him one of the officials said i will make sure scotland don't get any favours!!!!!!!!!!! now if u are going to tell me that the game wasn't fixed your worse than the ref.

I don't think many England fans will be disgruntled with his decisions. Scotland fans are, and for the Italians it's money well spent.

It was disgruntled SCOTLAND fans. As the above notes. Do some research. JAStewart (talk) 01:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, and, the thing is, this situation, unlike many others, isnt an "opinion" or POV bias; he clearly botched that call. Though, I think the blame may fall on the linesman, as when he signaled for the foul, he held it as a signal to give it to Italy if my memory serves right (I thought it was strange as I watched it that he did that). So he might have just been following protocol on that. But regardless, he should have overruled his assistant, as it was pretty clear to everyone, even the most diehard Italy fans. 70.232.68.62 (talk) 03:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree that it should be added, but as a Scot I can't - someone NPOV should edit it. There was some serious errors, most media outlets can be used as a reference. Sheeldz (talk) 12:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, something along the lines of:

González received heavy criticism following a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match against Scotland and Italy on November 17 2007.
 * I can't edit it at the moment though because I'm not an admin. Unlucky Scotland, I wanted you to win. Sir-Nobby (talk) 13:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Something like this:

González received heavy criticism following a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match against Scotland and Italy on November 17 2007. The match ended with Italy scoring a winner from a disputed decision, and knocking Scotland out of contention to qualify. (Just to give some background to the incident.)

Talking of disgruntled Scots, I am one myself, and just in case you never noticed, before the farcical decision, Scotland should have had a free kick anyway, after a Daniele De Rossi foul, take a look. Disgrace, and he better not get a Rangers or Celtic match in the Champo League this year, or he's in deep trouble. WWEBoffin0101 (talk) 19:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Better behaviour, please
Accusing a referee of taking bribes, as some of you do, and accusing Italians of bribing him because they are Italians make for an ugly combination of libel and racism. Yes, I would have preferred Scotland to win, but show me one top international referee who has never made a controversial call. That's not even notable, and I haven't seen it being even mentioned in most sports paper, unlike some real blunders by other referees. Even if the call were notable, using the kind of language that some of you do would not be acceptable. JdeJ (talk) 17:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Jdej A basic knowledge of football would have precluded you from making such a ridiculous claim. No one is being racist saying anything against Italians because they dislike Italians. It is not because they are Italians that the accusations are being thrown out there, it is because they have form for this ... i suggest you use the wonder of wikipedia to search for 'calciopoli'.

Reading any UK newspaper would also have helped as the free-kick was covered in every report i have read. This is also before any point that for a major international game deciding the fate of the world champions, we didn't even get Spain's top referee! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.240.213.26 (talk) 10:44, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
