Not all believe IEBC can be an honest broker

Your average football fan cannot name more than five referees in the world game. However, most remember all three names of the man who officiated the 2009 UEFA Champions league semi-final between English Club Chelsea and Spanish giants Barcelona. Tom Henning Ovrebo.

Barcelona at the time was by many accounts in some of the best form in that club’s stellar history. They had all the big name stars and played the beautiful game beautifully while Chelsea always had a different philosophical approach to winning. Still those of us who favour Chelsea always believed if the team had a good day, played like their lives depended on it and above all got a fair referee in charge of the game, they could beat Barcelona easily.
