anyone from switzerland living here might like to know that Asda supermarket chain in the UK is offering free eye tests for anyone from Switzerland...as after last thursdays swiss refereeing decision it seems that maybe there is a problem for those who live there...might be the sunshine and bright snow which causes problems......

yes i reckon we was swizzled

Send them to Spec Savers, or get them a guide dog!!

I'm afraid that I disagree totally and would back the referee 100% in his decision to disallow the goal.

Sol Campbell and John Terry obviously mistook Ricardo for a tree the way they were climbing all over him.

Anyhow, it pales into irrelevance because the better team won in the end and Portugal showed that they are in a different league to England.

It's high time there were more Swiss referees on the go.

'High time there were more Swiss referees on the go'!
Yes and I know where Id like to send them
and hey look at those Czecs tonight.Wiping the floor with Denmark.
I think I spy the champs for Euro 2004

You might be right Tabi. Portugal v Czechs in Final??

Guest (the third one, no the first two) I quite agree. I was appalled that the refs web site address was shown on the itv news when viewers were encourage to write to the guy.

It appears to be forgotten that the ref has to make an instant decision and does not have access to slow motion replays which do however show that the goal keeper was obstructed. I think a lot of English see what they want to see.

It's about time football had an extra official with video replay like they do in cricket and rugby.
