- On 1.10 of this clip you will see quite possibly the worst decision ever made by a referee in the history of football ! Scottish referee Les Mottram not only misses Dundee United player Paddy Connolly score but then disregards the fact that the partick defender CATCHES THE BALL and hands it to his keeper and instead of giving a penalty waves play on !
Wouldn't be so bad but that ref was Scotlands official fifa referee
That incident is one of the reasons for getting rid of the iron stanchions that held the nets up. This and Clive Allen's free kick for Palace that went in the goal but slammed the stanchion and came back out. It happened so quickly the referee and linesmen thought it had hit the post.
* stantion
This was way worse than the Clive Allen goal though, eh. Absolute shocker here.
@@cicstommy Dude, it's STANCHION.
@@PureExile Dictionary's aren't always accurate, y'know.
1992/93 season. Unbelievably, the referee (Les Mottram) continued on the FIFA list and worked some games at the 1994 World Cup in the US.
Whatever
This disallowed good goal (no infractions), is the reason why they have changed the building of the goal nets in all of the stadiums, making them look cookie-cutterish and boxy, detracts from the stadium's character. Back in the day, I could always identify the stadiums in Britain, sometimes by the shape of their goal netting and stanchions.
The Chelsea netting and stanchion were interesting, this didn't help the referee decipher the errant goal by Alan Hudson v Ipswich in 1970. This was a strange goal -- but, oh so pretty, the greatest non-goal ever, along with the new codes regarding building goal nets in new stadiums, we will never witness a situation as such.
I played through the academies at Leicester and England youth and I much preferred scoring in the box goals than the nets when they draped down. Made the ball ricochet out and was way better lol

I loved Chelsea’s deep nets. Wembley had its unique goals. West ham with the really shallow ones. We really lost a lot when they made all the nets the same. I hate it.
The goal at 2:35 wasnt offside, you cant be offside in your own half
Some years ago there was a referee who allowed a "goal" scored by ball-boy in a Brazilian league match. It was the most bizarre football incident I'd had ever seen and also the worst refereeing mistake. But this comes a close second. (The ball-boy goal made it onto the news here in the UK, so you may be able to find it on RUclips.)
"No DOTS above this decision." Actually decision has 2 dots above it!
That exact same thing happened to my team but we played the 1st place team who hadnt lost the entire season and that would have gave us the win but instead we tied 1-1 -____- damn refs are to old nowadays
haha! the same thing happened to me in a football tournament. our opponents shot the ball on our goal, but it hit aluminium and jumped near the line. they thought it was a goal and started celebrating, I catched the ball with the hand and ported it to the middle, but only after that the referee decided it wasn't a goal and our keeper got shoot off :D
So cool
Cheater I hope lose next match
@@Jacob_Vincent13 For a thing that happened over 15 years ago?
lol yeah, Exactly... its so unbelievable actually... i cant even think there is still people that doesnt think Barcelona gets help every time from the referees
What is it about firhill for bad decisions, this happend again recently at the same goal the ball hits the net and gets kicked out and everybody seen the goal just like this one except the refs, never realised this had happened to United as seen here.
Is the reporter Jim White haha?
Yes
@@ethanhenson3906 been waiting 7 years for a response and finally got one cheers lad
@@shizzlers0135 don’t thank me, thank the algorithm 😅
@@ethanhenson3906 😂
I wondered the same and found your comment. You waited seven years for an answer so somebody like me could wait just a few seconds. You're a God.
What a shocking decision, if i remember rightly wasn't that ref also a uefa/fifa official? Good to see future Everton legend Big Dunc get a typical goal.
press 8 sounds like peter griffin saying pork lmao
History lesson: Association Football(1863), Rugby Football(1870), American Football(1892). UK started calling "association football," "soccer" and brought the game to the US as such. "Rugby football" was named after Rugby school, and “rugby football” got shortened to "rugby". What would become “American Football” started in the UK and was based off modified rugby rules. At the time it officially became a sport, the US already had "soccer"(association football) and "Rugby" (rugby football).
Agreed with dan, the phantom goal at the Reading Watford game was worse. Bad as this was. To compound that mistake Stuart Atwell went on to make loads more dreadful decsions.
A 4 million viewed video spoiled by a space before the exclamation mark on the video title.
This puts Willie Collum on the same level as Pierluigi Collina.
I was at my peak interest with Scottish fitba around this time, having a season ticket for my local team in the third tier. I remember this era for its refereeing shambles, this coming around about the same time as the ref with the “Jimmy Sandison” debacle.
That was ridiculous .
What about the coat sturrock was wearing 🤣🤣😂
The worst decision of referee in the World Cup was the cancellation of zico goal against Sweden in the crown of 1974.
wow, 1.55, I thought neil lennon was the only manager, ever, in the entire history of scottish football to react angrily to a referee's ridiculous decision. Did the government of the day hold a summit? ....
All that happened is that he saw it differently and yes he got it wrong on the replay but refs don't have replays to check when reffing!! The referee is always right, even when he's wrong, he is right!!
Can only assume the ref thought the ball hit the post. I think after the world cup in the usa in 94 most clubs removed the stanchions from the goals.
Football is football....a universal game.
problem is the ball comes too fast out of the net, so the referee thought ball hits the post. But still definetely not the worst decision football referee ever made, that was back in 1966, world cup final, "the third goal", in germany known as "Wembley-Tor".
that is unbelievable. Definitely the worst referee decision I've ever seen!
The phantom goal for Reading against Watford was worse. The very worst.
I just couldn't stop... laughing... at the canadian accent!
Soccer was invented by a caveman when he kicked a rock off another caveman's head and it landed in their fishing net.
Clearly not a goal. Only a blind man would think that crossed the line.
Busteddon you clearly do not fully understand the offside rule. A player in his own half cannot be adjudged offside. To be offside, you must be behind the last defender on the opposition side, whilst in the oppositions half of the pitch.
It's one of those crafty dives that will always fool the ref. That said, we're talling about Les Mottram here....
No one should be allowed to ridicule a Referee, they shud refuse to ref any game until everyone learned to respect the ppl who Ref this game - then where wud they be! what a terrible example they are to children and the rude bad behaviour they learn from their influential behaviour. Be adults and take the good with the bad and give the impression that football is played, commentated on and managed on by mature 'grown ups'.
I swear, I can't think of another sport where the referee is so often wrong, like in football.
@grenda5 "A player is not in an offside position he is in his own half of the field of play" (source: FIFA rules). When the ball was passed, Paddy Connelly was in his own half. No offside.
I can understand the call actually. It hit the back post so fast and then came out, the ref probably thought it hit the crossbar possibly. I actually couldn't tell without the slow mo replay on the first try.
Les Mottram the diddy🤣🤣🤣
Is that Jim Shite commentating?
You cannot be offside if you are in your own half of the field. He hadn't crossed the half way line before the pass to him!
Jason Candy’s goal for Spurs against Man Utd that the referee thought was a save despite the goalie scooping the ball out from 4 feet over the line. Plus that was in England not the third world goals and pitches of the jocks !
Oops not Cundy Mendes
Did you notice when Connoly was fouled that he didn't roll around on the floor like the current footballers/money machines???
Football as it used to be before it became a business first, sport second!!
at first, I saw his first decision to give a free kick and I was like "meh, I've seen worse" but then I saw the goal dismissal. FAIL.
PENALTY TO RANGERS
received four "most excellent referee" awards in the 1998 to 2002 seasons
excellently named video - that is beyond doubt the two worse decisions ever.
no, it is only when at the attacking part of the field, the player was before the mid line, in his team field.
I respect Barcelona and all.. but last night was a drop that filled the glass. That game was a disgrace.
it wasn't so much the player catching it than the actual goal being disallowed. the guy caught it because like everyone else, he knew it went in and was a goal
I'm American I love English football always watch it
I still think 3 yellow cards is the very worst thing a referee has done short of beating up the players
@SweSmiile These guys are right. He was on his own half of the field at the instant of the pass, so was not in an offside position. Where the opponents were doesn't matter in this case.
No, that's the ref on Barcelona vs Milan semi final of the UCL.
...when the ball bounced out and the defender caught it, surely if the ref doesn't think it went in and decides to play on then that's a straight red and a penalty!?!? Maybe the ref is Narcoleptic?
Add Instant Replay for scoring plays and problem solved. The England - Germany World Cup match may have turned out differently with Instant Replay and it's also a check and balance against corrupt referees.
Man - You think we would have got better since then... Mon the Jags!
Goalies always yell at their teammates. It's so annoying. Shut up and play. If the other team scores or almost scores, you don't need to yell at your teammates to play better defense...they already realize it.
This goalie in particular messed up enough times on his own that he should have kept his mouth shut on the occasions where his teammates could have done more.
@10Ranga Not offside, the player was on his half of the field when the ball was kicked. That's not an offside call.
when you play our brand of football, the foot is predominantly kicking the ball. hence the name "football". Your brand of football, whereby the hands are the tools for moving the ball is what is universally known as "rugby".
I love the fact that in 2010 an offside decision in a Scottish league match between Dundee United and the Jags in the early 1990's is still being debated!! Three million views, this video must be perhaps Partick's most famous moment! They can put a print out of the link in their empty trophy cabinet at Firhill along with some manuscripts of debates between Americans and Europeans about the which sport it best!
Charlie brown, that rule still stands today, so he was NOT OFFSIDE.
What about the goal in Germany, Schalke I think awarded a goal after the shot missed but ball went through net into goal
I was so astounded that the goal was missed by the referee that I completely ignored the subsequent catch by the Thistle defender (who was NOT the goalie by the way). Methinks the ref messed up TWICE! He missed the goal AND the penalty. Wow, this is really bad. What was the ref thinking???!!!
The worst decision was by a referee in the semi finals of the cl Chelsea and Barcelona.4 penelties didn't count for chelsea.
poor goalkeeper looks like he's playing alone!!!
The goal at 2.20... That's a beautie!
As for this 'decision', it seems unbelievable but I think that the referee thought it came off the post! Or, I don't have any other explanation.
Wasn't the penalty at the start from a dive with no contact? Two horrendous decisions.
It's actually called soccer because football is a category of sports. Rugby football (rugby), Association football (soccer), american football, etc.
No doubts about this decision? for 0:19???? WTF is he smoking? That was the clearest dive I've ever seen in my entire life. I thought that was the decision!!!
Where the hell is the contact made? Straightaway the first time I saw it I knew it was no penalty. This commentator is DIM!!!!!!!
FIFA chair should resign for all these wrong decisions.
"Duncan Faggyson"? "Scott Crap"? U got to be kidding me :D
I could've sworn we were in America were soccer was called soccer and not football
This isn't football. It's soccer.
The Player was behind the half way line as the passer passed the ball thats why it isn't offside
Thats The ref of the Real Madrid vs Barcelona semi final match of the UCL
i have never respect them.. they have been doing the same thing 4 years in a row
Why are people moaning the first goal was due to a dive he was not tackled so the second one that didn't count is only fair
I actually thought he hit the post at first.
I had to watch it three times before i saw it hit the net, i kept thinking it was hitting the post, thanks god for hd.
This is why blind people isn't allowed to referee a game....
If it wasn't a goal it was a handball, PENALTY!
2:38 is an offsides mannn. the guy obtained the ball with no defender ahead so you can't pass forward for a teammate
this is not a football referee, its a soccer referee for crying out loud. Its called soccer not football. goodness.
No the worst decision was the Thistle coach not telling his team to just stan still and let United walk up and roll one into the net for free
@JamieGonz
no offside, the player was still on its own half when the pass was played.
Why do they call it football when they play the ball off their heads, chests and score a high percentage of points not using their feet?
In American football the highest scoring player on every team is almost always the kicker who scores exclusively with his feet.
Just asking. :-)
Haha, hopefully that referee won't be doing many more matches...
13 thumbs up for a call to assassinate a referee for a poor decision! Who ARE these people? I wonder what the family of Andres Escobar Saldarriaga would make of that. We live in seriously warped times.
THE DEFENCE IS TERRIBLE!
offside only applies after halfway line. If not everyone just stand at the other end of the opponent court and have a freekick at their opponent's goal line (:
after this game, the posts that hold the nets back from the goal-line were removed in most professional games. i've seen this happen three times in professional games but never the defender throwing the ball back to the keeper lol
American football was so named because the ball is a foot long.
You can never trust the referees!
I think it would have been a different situation if they'd lost. Worst decision was Australia vs Italy in the '06 World Cup... personally =P
That's not football...that's soccer!
Lighten up people...I'm joking.
there are far worst than this, all of those found in Chelsea Vs Barcelona UEFA CL 2008-2009 . and I'm a United fan
you can score from where you want with your hand. the only part you have right is not touching the ball with your hands (or arms)
So guess what? "American football" got shortened to just "football.” Obviously we weren’t going to call it “American.” If the Brits hadn’t called “football,” “soccer” in the first place, we wouldn’t have this issue of disagreement. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that Brits stopped calling it “soccer” in favor of “football” anyway.
oh well i'm not a football fan anyway so didn't know what play on was i thought it was just a sign that there was no foul
That American "imitation" sport just won a gold medal. Who cares about it's title, and calling out an entire country over it is plain ignorant.
What about the dodgy penalty he awarded and Ferguson decking our goalie to score?.... seems like 2 calls for you and 1 for us!
