Frings vs USA, 2002.
Worst robberies in football history?
- Thread starter Nani Nana
- Start date
A bunch of American lepercons stole one of the most famous clubs in the world some 15 years ago.
Well he ain’t special no more.
It makes you think though, what might have happened, Mourinho never gets picked up by Chelsea. They never galvanise around his style of play and thus United win 05-09 comfortably.
football player values stay at reasonable levels etc
That portsmouth game I'll never forget. That was a treble right there.
Cakir robbing SAF in his last CL campaign, I really thought we would go far that year.
I think we did outplay PSG this season but in 2019 we robbed them, can't remember any decent football from us in both games.

You’re talking about punishment, not justice.
No Robbery There.
I was 14 years old & it was the best day of my young life.
Geoff Hurst is a God.
The Argentina Mexico game was 2010 but it was fantastically silly cause they showed the goal that should’ve been disallowed on the screens in the stadium and the Mexican players were basically telling the referee to watch the footage.
VAR before VAR was a thing.
They dun’ fecked up.

Our game vs Chelsea in 2010 when Drogba scored from a 2 yards blatant offside to essentially win them the title.
Nani's red card vs. Madrid.
Rafael's red card vs. Bayern.
Arsenal FA final.
Chelsea-Barcelona, S.Korea-Italy - both matches were fixed by UEFA and FIFA for obvious reasons, I am 100% positive.

Your goal was handball in that match.
One i think that hasn't been mentioned yet was the 2007 FA Cup final. 0-0 in extra time then this happened.
No goal line tech back then and Chelsea went on to win 1-0. Lucky Mourinho against United once more.

We gonna ignore giggs sliding into him forcing him over the line ?One think that hasn't been mentioned yet was the 2007 FA Cup final. 0-0 in extra time then this happened.

Barça - PSG definitely
Michael Essien fouled Giggs in the build-up. Simliar incident today and either a penalty or goal would be given.
England Germanyl 1966
England Germany 2010

Two deciding illegal goals in the World Cup Final , how is it not a robbery?
The FA Cup Final against Arsenal was the first thing that sprang to mind.
And the Barca win over Chelsea really was a disgrace.

Yes, this. We were nailed on for another treble there.
Italian Serie A 1997/98. In Italy still a big thing to talk about.
Bayern's smash and grab at home to Rangers in 1999.
Immediately thought of those two. One of Rooney’s best ever games for United in that final.
Jose post-Chelsea.
Speaking of smash and grab’s in 1999, I presume the CL final has been mentioned?
Has anyone mentioned Madrid beating Juve 4-3 on aggregate despite losing 1-3 at the Bernabeau? The 'trashcan for a heart' game.
The two exact games that came to my mind upon reading this thread title.
I rewatched the entire game start to finish a couple of months ago, it wasn’t as one-sided as I remembered. We were definitely second best during the game, but did grow in to it and had some good chances of our own.
Perhaps the worst ones were those from certain European ties in the 1970s and 1980s. Dundee United were dicked over in the 1984 European Cup Semi Final against Roma by a corrupt ref. I've always found it bizarre that Marseille were allowed to keep the CL title in 1993 despite the proof of evidence of match fixing in the run-up to the final.
That's a good one.
That France and Ireland one still angers me 
.
.comes to my mind all the time.
Juventus robbed at least 10 matches (penalties, handballs, ghost goals).
The one everybody remeber is the "Scudetto Match"... 26/04/1998 when the ref didn't give a huge penalty to Ronaldo (in his prime, amazing striker...)
Chesterfield v Middlesbrough FA Cup Semi at Old Trafford in 1997... I was there with my dad. Chesterfield of the old Division 2 were on course to play Chelsea in the final.
Boro were down to ten men and Chesterfield were leading. Jonathan Howard had a goal ruled out by David Ellery after the ball had crossed the line. The linesman appeared to give the goal but Ellery overuled him.
Boro eventually levelled to make it 2 v 2 and take it to extra time where a last gasp Chesterfield equaliser made it 3 v 3. Chesterfield lost the replay 3 nil.
Ellery went on to write in his autobiography it was his single biggest mistake. History would have been made as Chesterfield would have been the only side from the third tier to make the final

Despite I never liked Boavista as a club, I remember a UEFA Cup match between Boavista and AS Roma. It was until now the most blatant refereeing ever: one clear goal being ruled by offside, and there was this brazilian defender, António Carlos Zago, who spent the entire game tackling, and spitting in Boavista players. Long story short he headbutted aand spitted a Boavista player and the ref sent off the Boavista player.
P.S. For those who don't remember who was ANtóni Zago, he would make you think Pepe would worth a Fair Play award in comparison

What was this?
Wasn't that faux outrage though? Can't remember the full game but it was a clear penalty that Juventus expected not to be awarded because Buffon was really old and had never won a European Cup.
Hi Robert, read the 3rd post before yours... It's impossible to describe how that league was in few words (but I could tell you every match robbed by Juve of that season, I remember everything)
as an Interista, it still hurts: Inter 1997/98 is still one of the most loved ever by all of us nerazzurri.
An entire season long, blatant, not-even-trying-to-hide-it, absolute robbery of the italian serie A title and mockery of the competition itself
It was juventus' centennial
You have to wonder about lots of games in the more distant past for corruption and bent refs.
Well, Henry was a good mate with Tony Parker so a hand ball is allowed.That France and Ireland one still angers me
Ah cool thanks
Hand of God? I guess?
