Referee Claus Bo Larsen has named Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo his 'most annoying player'.

Claus Bo Larsen took charge of Milan's defeat to Ajax on Wednesday

The FIFA Top Class Referee, who took charge of his final Champions League game on Wednesday, claims Ronaldo is always looking to buy free-kicks and that they have to be prepared for his behaviour ahead of Champions League games.

"He's always out to get a cheap free-kick, especially at home," he told Ekstra Bladet. "We tended to talk before games about how he'd go down easily.

"We know not to be biased, but we have to be prepared. He has a clean slate at the start of every game. When he would lie down after failing to win a free-kick, he smiled at me because he knew I didn't fall for his theatrics."

So they know...

All that skill yet he still needs to cheat, he wont change.

So they know...

Am I the only one quite worried about referees going into games with preconcieved opinions?

Obviously we all know that certain players (Ronaldo and Drogba to name two) are more inclined to fall over rather than stay on their feet, but is it really fair that refs go into games expecting this? I know you could say its just a case of the boy who cried wolf (and he does say that players get a "clean slate" for every match, but its still a bit worrying IMO.

It is inevitable, until the day when robots start refereeing

Or FIFA/UEFA and all continental organisations finally enter the 21st century and accept the change technology can bring to the game.. does it make rugby, Cricket, Tennis, American football or any other game boring or any less interesting? No! It brings fairness to the game.. it's very easy for Fifa to write.. Fair play on their ads but they are doing absolutely nothing to ensure it.. more refs will not do anything.. they are also human.. what if one lines man says its a goal and other says its not? The only way to eliminate doubt is technology.. atleast have a certain number of challenges per game that the team captain or manager can make when he feels they are being cheated..

Barca again :laugh: :cry: :wacko:

[Kostaz]

I'm shocked but we drew the easiest team we could have. Even at our current form Copenhagen won't be much of a problem.

Arsenal should forfeit..

[Kralik]

Barca again :laugh: :cry: :wacko:

Woohoo!! Redemption calls!

[Rappy Veteran]

Woohoo!! Redemption calls!

or a mullering? :p

[Kralik]

or a mullering? :p

.. for Barca...

[psyn]

.. for Barca...

as an arsenal fan, i wish that were true..alas...reality bites.

early knockout might be good, just allows us to focus on the league i suppose...*wishful thinking*

[nothuman]

If I was Wenger I will call Guardiola and offer him a deal. "You want Fabregas? Let us pass this time and he'll be yours for half the price!" :laugh:

[Rappy Veteran]

.. for Barca...

haha for a moment there I thought you were being honest ;)

[Kriz]

Goodbye Arsenal :)

Spurs are gonna show AC how to play real football!

[Kralik]

But I was serious.. if we are at full strength.. with Arshavin, Nasri, Cesc, Vermaelen, RvP and Walcott.. we will beat Barca at home.. away we'll draw and go through.. but we need everyone fit..

[Valerus]

I can't believe we're going up against Barcelona again. This is ridiculous.

[ViZioN]

What a win for Spurs! 1 - 0 in the San Siro!

[Rappy Veteran]

Gattuso pushing Joe Jordan definite highlight!

[nothuman]

Gattuso is a joke. He should have see red in about every game I've seen him play. Flamini deserved red too for a stupid and dangerous tackle.

Great win for Totenham, and trully deserved.

I couldn't agree more. Officials were far too lenient, but at least they got the right call in injury time. I can't wait for the sideshow at White Hart Lane.
