Benjamin Williams appointed as our referee vs Uzbekistan!

[AhadUzbek]

I do not think referees should be performing in favor of any team. If they do, they are in violation with their code of conduct.
Uzbekistan offers the best referee in Asia who is one of the best in the World (Ravshan Ermatov) and we still suffer from crappy refereeing of Asian referees. NOT FAIR!

[AhadUzbek]

This particular referee have always erred at our expense and I am sure our reps. will also make sure none is pressuring the referee against us.

Best Asian ref is Alireza Faghani, come back when you have an Uzbek ref in the FIFA Club WC Finals and Olympic Finals.

[Doctor DOOM]

^ actually thy do.
Roshan something. Akramov??? Cant remember

They do have several good refs, however compared to rest of the referees in Asia lately Faghani has been given the biggest stages to whistle. But that shall not undermine the merit of the Uzbek refs!

Ravshan Ermatov has been selected for a lot of important matches and definetly one of the best referees out there.

World Cup 2010

South Africa vs Mexico (Opening match)
Argentina vs Germany (Quarter-finals)
Uruguay vs Netherlands (Semi-finals)

World cup 2014

Netherlands vs Costa Rica (Quarter-finals)

Anyway it shouldn't matter. We need to play our game, regardless of who the referee is. Let's not create stress far ahead of the game!

[AhadUzbek]

My intention was not to trigger a phallometry on the topic of who has the best referee. My point was that we offer good referees and get horrible refereeing in exchange.

Some of the mistakes from Benjamin Williams:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA-O4taKdTc (watch from 1:58. Wrong red card and also it should've been a foul for Kuwait)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=webaR6nj2jg (watch from 0:35. Wrong penalty. Have no words for that call)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l9rJpx33Xw (watch from 5:00. Wrong freekick which led to an equalizer for Korea against Iran)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIt2B8oR3L8 ( watch from 1:27. Even Iraq was the victim of Williams)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY6obxxDzsA (China vs Malaysia - This was the most disgusting refereeing in Williams' career. Can't believe he wasn't fired after this)

This guy has a mental illness. I hope IFF someow solves this problem because he will destroy our dreams of qualifying for the world cup and once again break the hearts of million Iranians.

[Omid177]

Oh I forgot the wrong penalty call for Saudi Arabia vs Uzbekistan (watch from 1:03)

Irmatov is an amazing ref to be fair, almost never makes mistakes

[GolfePersique]

He's clearly mental, but we shouldn't make a big fuss, openly. It's the job of the incompetent Kafashian to use his "influence" at AFC to sort this out quietly.

Any over reaction will play against us, the same of what happened with Qatar with focusing too much on their international players, as if we were playing Argentina. We should play our own game, do not make any silly fouls/giving excuses to a stupid referee.

I have a feeling in this round of WCQ, we are our worst enemy, putting too much unnecessary pressure on our team with every single up and down. We have to accept that this will be a long bumpy road and we need to stick together and remain focused throughout.

Our next match will be key to this qualification campaign. I'm sure the boys will give their best as they did 4 years ago.

The best in Asia is Faghani...I will let you look up his CV...oh and he isn't Uzbekistani either Iramatov is a close second...at least on this forum...but as you know the squeeky wheel get's the grease and this is how they play bs Qatari funded mind games in AFC.

Benjamin Williams appointed as our referee vs Uzbekistan!

Ben Williams retired at the end of the 2015-2016 A-league season.

There has been no news of a possible comeback in Australian media (closer to Ben Williams than any Iranian media).

This is clearly a made-up story that would only come out of Iran.

According to Aussie media he retired from club matches in July 2016 and will officiate international matches until the end of this year.
