HERBERT FANDEL
- The love of music and football runs in Fandel's family, his dad was an administrator with a football team, his three brothers are also referees and his mother is a soprano (a singer not a gangster). Together the whole family used to make music.
- His music school is called Musikschule des Eifelkreises Bitburg-Pr�¼m and is located in the town Bitburg.
- Fandel almost always books players for protesting his decisions.
- One minute before the end of a qualification match for Euro 2008 between Sweden and Denmark a fan ran out on the field wanting to strangle Herbert Fandel. The fan was angry because Fandel had awarded a penalty to Sweden after Danish player Poulsen had hit Rosenberg in the stomach with his fist. The 3-3 that was on the score board at that time was later changed to 3-0 for Sweden as a disciplinary action against the Danish national team.
In 2012, 4,5 years later, a judge decided on a 250.000 Euro fine the man had to pay to the Danish FA. The man had also already spent 20 days in jail. - The following should be read as a compliment
In one of the taped telephone conversations between referee appointer Pierluigi Pairetto and his mate Juventus president Luciano Moggi, Herbert Fandel was mentioned:
Moggi: "Ma che beep di arbitro ci avete mandato?".
Pairetto: "Fandel è uno dei primi..."
M: "Ho capito, ma il gol di Miccoli è valido".
P: "No".
M: "E' valido, è valido".
P: "No era davanti".
M: "Ma che davanti, e poi tutto l'andamento della partita ha fatto un casino della madonna a noi...".
P: "Ma sai che questo è uno dei top...".
M: "Ma questo puo andare in c...
(which translates something like:
Moggi: What fuck of a referee did you send?
Pairetto: Fandel is one of the best....
Moggi: Right, but Miccoli's goal was valid.
Pairetto: No.
Moggi: It's valid, it's valid.
Pairetto: No, it was right in front.
Moggi: Right in front.. it wasn't in front ... he ruined the entire game for us.
Pairetto: But you know he is one of the best.
Moggi: Well he can fuck off.
