Iran's Throat is Cut Again by the Ref. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

[Karimi 8]

Ref knew he made a mistake, he didnt know he already had given a bs yellow. and his calls later in the game showed he knew he fucked up

I know everyone is pissed off right now. Let's take the emotion to the side. Whenever you fall down on purpose and try to trick the referee into giving another player a yellow card, then you deserve to be carded. The Iraqi goalie pushed you a little bit and you fall down so hard as if Mike Tyson has punched your lights out. The only problem is that other referees don't have the balls to consistently card players for such acting. Brave to Ben Williams.

Ok sure, simulation is card. What about Younis in the second half?? He had 2 plays in the span of 2 minutes where he simulated a dive. Where is his yellow? In OT, their player BLATANTLY kicks Haghighi's hand/arm, where is is his RED CARD!(he had no shot on net, he was just going in to injure!!)

where can we watch the post match? or too late?

If Pooladi got up even after the 4th time the ref asked him to Iran would have likely won this game but he didn't. Pooladi made his own bed and TM's too.

After more thought to this, Ben Williams made an innocent mistake. He gave pooladi the second yellow with actually realising it was his second yellow, and he was forced to give him the red then.

In retrospect, he might done otherwise if he knew pooladi was already given a yellow earlier.

Poor guy must be feeling pretty bad about himself. And I wondered why that referee in Europe committed suicide.

If you believe in luck, then it's fair to say the win wasn't meant to be.

Yea but thats horrible mistake by him. It wasnt too long ago before that incident when he carded pooladi, and at that point in the game there wasnt too many players carded.

You use the word "innocent" very loosely...

[KasraKhan]

If Ben Williams was a real man, he would've rescinded the 2nd yellow card to Pouladi once he realized his mistake. That's what a man would've done. Admitted his mistake, and take it on the chin.

That's probably not legal according to FIFA rules, but he should've subjected himself to FIFA punishment. Instead, he took the easy way out, gave Pouladi a red-card, and sacrificed the happiness of 70 million, just to save his own ass.

Not a man. Not a real man.

Mate the subsequent decisions made against Iraqi players later in the game were scandalous. He should have sent that Iraqi player off if he wanted to even out his initial rash/ poor decision.

Not to mention not booking a single Iraqi player when the fight broke out!

its hard to tell if he had an agenda, but based on the evidence it is likely.

he is weak ref that depends on unnecessary use of the cards to take control of the game. Any baffoon can do that

[The-Iron-Ghost]

John Aloisi at half time was asked about it, he said "Ben Williams hold grudges. I remember from ehen I was playing and coaching, we had a saying, if you have any chance to win keep Ben Williams happy and be nice"

He went on to say, "After carlos criticised him, he has held a grudge and that's why he's done that". In premier league keeper would been send off for the push.

This is a conspiracy against Iranian football. And don't tell me I'm Iranian, I'm Kuwaiti and I follow Iranian football. Crossing off Mohammad Nouri, Ghassem Hadadifar, Mohsen Mosalman, Payam Sadeghian, Iman MobAli, Gholam Reza Rezaie, Mohammad Reza Khalatbari, Mahdi Sharifi, Rahman Ahmadi, and calling the likes of Mehradad Pouladi, Masoud Shojaie, Javad Nekunam, and Ali Reza Haghighi is something beyond our understanding. This is betrayal at it's best.

And yet AFC selects this guy!
What a joke. Australians themselves say this guy is incompetent, but AFC loves him.
