He indicated six minutes of injury time but played 13. Liga de Quito, 3-2 down in the 90th minute, struck after 99 and 101 to win 4-3.

< snip >

What adds spice to the brew is the fact that the ref is a candidate for October elections in which he could win a place on Quito's city council.

Holy ****!

I wonder if that italian guy who was suing the ref will get some help from the board of Barcelona of Guayaquil in bringing this retcherd tyrant down to the full extent of the law.

The aftermatch football phone in would of been been entertaining though. this guy is fast making a name for himself i say we should bring him to england and let him ref the FA cup final. Oh how joyfull that will be to watch

I think a better line to use is "what goes around comes around!?!?!?!?"

Hope the bastard loses the election too!!!!

I was at the Korea-Italy game and now after reading this story I'm not so sure about things that occurred in that game. First, I always questioned the second yellow as a former referee (24 years) you at that point let the players determine the result, at least that is what I was always taught and what I tried to do. The offside was the AR's call and again as a former refereee unless I was in a better position to see the offside I go with the AR. Those 2 calls IMHO did not turn the game, Italy had plenty of chances to finish Korea off in regulation and they fell back into a defensive shell and let Korea back in the match

Now with that said and having lived in Korea on and off for 6 years and knowing how corrupt this place is (they could give Enron some lessons) I wouldn't be suprised if somebody here approached Moreno or his AR's and made the attempt. The Korean mafia is very active here (especially here in Gwangju) and given how cheating is engrained in the Korean culture (you have to see my univ students). With this revelation I'm now not so sure we saw an honest world cup. Remember the Korean victory over Spain occured here in Gwangju HQ for the Korean mafia. Yeah this does sound like an Oliver Stone movie but any way-gook believes it.

I hope this wasn't the result but given what I know about Korea and now what Moreno did in Ecuador I have some serious doubts
