What was the most outrageously bad/bullshit call for a professional sporting even in history?

What was the most outrageously bad/bullshit call for a professional sporting even in history?

One that didn't end up in the referee being charged with trying to throw the game

the whole 1995 rugby world cup in South Africa was the most blatantly bought tournament ever I have ever seen

Refs cheated to give two different #1s undeserved wins this weekend in college basketball. Usually they're not so bold.

South Korea's run in the 2002 World Cup.

Jim Joyce blowing Galarraga's perfect game.

Even the losing team was upset about it

The NBA gifting LeBron a title

m.youtube.com/watch?v=a2SYIrUnf5Y

1:30, seriously the dumbest shit ever

When?

>Match awarded to Flamengo after 37 minutes because Atlético had six players left after five sendings-off
wew

Chelsea - Barca 2009 Champions League


In fact Barcelona's entire 2009 Champions League run

But Chelsea cheated more in that game. The dive that got the Barcelona player sent off as well as the constant diving from Drogba

Lol...ok kiwi

What the hell is that pitch

I'd be kinda happy if I was Galarraga. Nobody other than Tigers fans would ever think about that game if Joyce didn't blow that call

2006 NBA Finals

Dirk should have 2 rings

so many free throws for wade, so many phantom fouls.... disgrace

lakers and kings playoff series whatever year that was

2013

this, our brave lads were poisoned by the smelly saffers

It was for the greater good. The great Nelson Mandela needed to see his own people united. There are some things more important than sport.

youtube.com/watch?v=mR3eK5gCChM

Wow cry more bitch nigga.. Wade went off during those Finals he earn that ring by going God-Mode.. that was no controversial referee decision.


Anyways a real referee disgrace was Italy vs South Korea 2002 WC

literally decided the cup

i still have no idea how he could have blown such an obvious call. it was like he wanted to ruin the perfect game.
>boreball
>not rigged

Northwestern v. Gonzaga was pretty clear, a Gonzaga player stuck his hand through the fucking net to block an important dunk

>most outrageously bad
As an AUSfag this was seriously fucking bad and kek worthy

youtube.com/watch?v=PW-jA7IjAIM&t=4m47s

This is what happened
>Game is super close and coming to an end
>Crowd is loud
>Players on field hear the siren to signal end of the game and stop play
>Umpire spergs out saying he didn't hear and play continues with a ball up
>Team kicks a point to tie the game but is awarded a free kick somehow so point doesn't stand
>Siren rings again only because some guy got up and started tapping on the booth with a beer bottle the bell cunt was already leaving
>Free kick results in a point again so it's still a tie
Massive butthurt lead to the tie result being overturned mid week and Dockers being awarded full points for a win and the stadium got a new siren kek.

The shit that resulted in tens of thousands of angry Clevelanders peltering the refs with bottles. They decided to review a play AFTER the Browns ran another play which is about the most egregious bullshit call you can think of.

youtube.com/watch?v=K-teMkx2vgA

Weren't the refs charged after that though? Or at least Fifa did an "investigation" and "fired" some people for it. Aka they moved some money around into their accounts on some Caribbean island?

Flames 04 as well

Brett Hull 1999 Stan Lee Cuo

There have been like 23 perfect games in history... they're all remembered

04 IT WAS IN NEVER FORGET

> There are some things more important than sport

what exactly is supposed to keep the NBA and NFL from being rigged? Their goal is exclusively to maximize profit

South Korea vs Italy

South Korea in the world cup

It's true user

WTF? you can be ejected for laughing in NBA?
Was he ejected just for laughing or am I missing something here?

lol, k newfag

...

joey crawford is a giant faggot who wanted to be the star instead of the players and pulled shit like this sometimes. idk what happened between him and tim but he always hated him

2015 Gold Cup was so obviously rigged

Those strike zone things were never accurate, especially in 1997... those all looked like strikes to my eye

how did they not get ALL of the suspensions for this sort of thing

you're full of shit
there's a couple that looked closer than the indicator, but not one of them was actually a strike

this and there is no arguing

youtube.com/watch?v=70YBjA0bLFM

Shit rule.

No holding called on the helmet catch

Tuck rule. League wanted them to win because of 9/11.

Right so leave them out of sport...y 'know since it's not important and all.

>9/11 having anything to do with Boston
If they truly wanted that they would've scripted a NYC team winning.

>"Patriots"

>the league rigged a team winning the owl because of their name
Not even a Patstard but you're a legit moron.

You're a legit moron if you believe they didn't.

It was an outrageously shitty call but there's a million possible reasons for why it happened and yours seems to be the most idiotic of them all. Do you happen to black?

It was story-line the entire season leading up to it and the league made no effort hiding it with the calls they got. It's obvious you're underage and a recent bandwagoner.

>league doesn't want patriots to win so burgers can feel patriotic
c'mon son

>It was story-line the entire season leading up to it
No, it wasn't. Nobody gave a flying fuck about the Patriots aside from Patriots fans while the Rams were the sexy pick and bandwagoned to hell and back.

>recent bandwagoner
Didn't know one can bandwagon the Browns but okay.

SInce when did the league give a fuck about patriotism? They didn't even suspend Kaepernick for his commie tantrum.

tuck rule had actually been used against pats earlier in the season
it was a stupid rule, but it was a good call according to the stupid rule

Yes it was. All over the media that entire season. The "Patriots" were destined to win because of 9/11. Please go back to wherever you came from.

the thing with this is like you almost want to rig the call IN his favor if its close, don't think replays were in effect when this happened, yet he completely blows it the other way.

You go back to plebbit with your retarded unfounded theories.

>SInce when did the league give a fuck about patriotism?
you must be very young

they care about LOOKING like they care about patriotism, which is why you have those ridiculous camo weeks and returning soldiers at halftime, all that rah-rah bullshit

Leave you underage faggot.

I'm probably older than you, nigger.

Leave.

You're an idiot dude. It was the biggest storyline all year and everyone knew pats were going to win

Hand of God

imagine getting called for fouling a guys elbow with your nose

They coudn't have the Jets winning a second time that season.

>scripted a NYC team winning.

Just imagine if they rigged it so a New York team LOST the Owl. Only five months after 9/11 and suddenly everybody in New York is celebrating the Jets only to watch in horror as they have to witness their world being destroyed by Jets crashing once again.

cant believe i had to scroll this far to see this. most rigged series ive ever seen

UEFA allowing Portugal to move on to the Knockout stage of the Euro's with ZERO WINS

The South Korean Campaign at the 2002 World Cup

The Mexican campaign at the 2015 Gold Cup

The entirety of the Real Madrid Champions League 15/16 Campaign.

The Penalty on Suarez in the PSG v Barcelona game

>UEFA allowing Portugal to move on to the Knockout stage of the Euro's with ZERO WINS
That wasn't poor refereeing, that was just how the tournament structure worked.

2002 Western Conference Finals. Refs even came out and said it was rigged.

Well lets see:
Some of these international hockey games have poor referring, along with the NHL who has some of the most blatant rigging. The Gretzky finals run with LA ranks among the worst calls (Doug Gilmore gets high sticked, no call, then gretzky wins game in OT)

FIFA has the 2002 World Cup Italy vs S.Korea, which stands as the worst refering in an major international game (within recent memory).

You've got just about every playoff season in the NBA that clearly is rigged.

You've got the blown perfect game for MLB, along with the 1999 Yankees vs Red Sox series and a shit load of games I can't remember.

Don't really watch NFL so I can comment on this.

Taking all of this into consideration, I would rank the rigging something like this:
1. NBA
2. FIFA
3. NHL
4. MLB
5. IIHF

So? Changing the tournament structure was the bullshit call from a professional sporting organization, so it fits the thread. Portugal winning it after that group stage performance was an utter embarrassment.

You dumb fuck, the only reason The Patriots won 'The Tuck Rule' is that Bill Belichick dreams about the NFL rulebook, so when that play happened and he challenged a ruling that hasn't been applied for like 50 years it confused the refs. That's why they got it ruled in their favor. The referees had absolutely no idea what they were looking for because the last time the NFL used the rule the refs were still sperm in their fathers nutsack.

>see his own people united
How's that working out for SA?

Poor Timmy smiled only once in his life and he got ejected for it.

he was being a literal nigger, good call imo

that look on the refs face is so good

Pic related.

Don't even try to defend this decision. Fucking look at Ozil's face. Even the Madrid players were stunned by the decision.

The way they set up those strike zones was retarded. Fucking 1997.

>The media wanted the Patriots to win after 9/11 because their name was "the Patriots"

I was like 10 when 9/11 happened, but that's fucking retarded. It may be true, but god damn is that dumb. Sorry if you're 35+ btw my condolences.

You'd have to be quite the customer so think this goes in the category "most outrageous calls".

Yes, it was a harsh call but it could be justified. Moral of the story is don't go studs first into an opponent's rib cage?

youtube.com/watch?v=X-6ujbLknUc

A few weeks ago there was an absolutely bullshit call in the Celtics-Bulls game. Celtics should have won but the refs love Jimmy Butler and they also don't want Lebron to lose the 1 seed. Marcus Smart barely grazed Butler's elbow on a shot that wasn't gonna go in anyways and it cost them the game.

give us some context and aftermath mate.

>Some of these international hockey games have poor referring
Yeah it's kind of irrelevant but USA - Switzerland at 2014 world champs in Belarus had two Swiss goals retroactively called back for non-existent offsides, where the linesman didn't call anything during play. There were also no coaches challenges back then.

There was no problem with it when it was used for the FIFA World Cup. Had there been, it wouldn't have been used 3 times from 1986 to 1994.

SUP Youngfags.

There is one correct answer and one correct answer only:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Olympic_Men's_Basketball_Final

The US basketball team became so asswrangled they decided to only have their best professional players on the team from then on. Truly something.

Muntari's goal was pretty fucking blatant
it's one of the reasons GLT got implemented
that and Lampard vs Germany

Miami-Ohio State 2002

context: quarter-final of the only libertadores ever won by flamengo

kek


not like it would have mattered
