EURO 2012 Memories

Positive things

To start with; I always appriciate Stark's precise grip. Players can not abuse him. There is full control all match long. He seems determined with his decisions. He has great assistant referees (not AARs). Very single offside, onside decision was correct. And, all of them were very tight. Actually, Stark also made positive decisions; good advantage plays, foul to Amrabat right out-of-the box, no handball penalty by Eboue, his foul detection was good.

Buttt...

Whenever it comes to decide in box. He suffered. First minute row is obvious penalty for Galatasaray. Then, he again missed a remarkable foul to Hamit right out-of-the box. He was delibrately clipped down by ManU defender. He cant have a good shut for that contact. Penalty given for ManU in Min 53 is soft. But, none can argue about that. It is correct. That was another mistake when Stark waved it off as no penalty to Nani by Elmander. He knew that was obvious as well. But, he was totally off by that time. He just missed another penalty for ManU. Again, in extra-times, Aydin attacks for ball before Evans. There is a wrong-timing by Evans, and another player (Aydin) is again on the ground. Notthing to say, more.
