Redpill me on Collina. Was he really the best ref ever?

Redpill me on Collina. Was he really the best ref ever?

Nie był.

Tuż po Mistrzostwach Swiata 2002 Włosi mieli u siebie konkurs na najgorszego sędziego w Serie A, zatytułowany 'Byron Moreno Cup'.

Do chwili gdy zainterweniowały władze ligi i konkurs zamknięto, Collina był pewniakiem do zwycięstwa w tym konkursie.

The most based for sure

He was a good protomeme

Not a bad ref but he his known for being a weird ass looking Italian more than anything.

>not based Heber Lopes

he always reminded me of those mars attacks aliens

not the best ref but the biggest meme

He was a top ref, but slightly overhyped
He stood out because:
>A. Baldy freaky looking bastard
>B. He was the only Italian ref from that era that wasn't corrupt and on the take from Juve/other big teams

Colina seems to be a cool guy irl

KEK. He's such an attwhore

He looks like Dr. Evil from Austin Powers.

He was a solid ref, no doubts, but way more known as a walking meme

Funfact: He's now in charge of UEFA's ref association, basically responsible for choosing refs for UEFA matches

He was. So his games many time back in the day.

y'all talking about GOAT refs?

>le rojadirecta man

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time my man

scum.

we don't forget

Kek
He got suspended for that.
Defineatly a meme ref

he was respected by players while most refs are hated. there was never any fight in his matches and I can hardly remember any mistake by him

What's the story behind this?

he made mistakes like any other ref ever but he was famous for how respected he was by players and coaches
in that department i think he was pretty much GOAT

contributing

This.
Contrary to what most people think there is more to being a ref than just calling the right decisions as dictated by a textbook.
Talking to players and how you handle situations matter. So does charisma which Collina had a fuckton of. He didn't look like the guy you wanted to have an argument with.

I take it you never watched Everton Villarreal

desu he rides off the Collina reputation of bald refs

...

This is now a Byron Moreno thread.

JUUUUNG-HWAAAAN-AAAAAHN

Everton fans hate him

Perugia - Juventus 2000

He was an atrocious ref, literally only rated because he was bald.

fucking hell

I think he was only a PL ref simply because of tokenism. Fucking awful decision-maker.

>Le Ref the Worst World Cup Final man

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT GAME??!?

>le ref 7-1 match
I miss him lads
