Peru Players Give Ref the Andy D’Urso Treatment
This is from a recent friendly between the Peruvian national team and Extremadura. Which is techinally a Spanish football team, but Extremadura is also an autonomous community, so this was also sort of an international. I think.
Anyway, Peru led 2-1 with the final whistle approaching, until the ref awarded Extremadura a spot-kick. No worries though, because it’s only a friendly. Right? Wrong.
The Peruvians felt differently and gave the poor ref the full Andy D’Urso vs Man Utd treatment. He did some pretty nifty back-pedalling but refused to change his mind. They never do, do they? So why do players bother?).

Do they still wonder why they’ve become the laughingstock of South America? What a joke.

I seem to remember Mark Halsey giving Fulham a penalty against Arsenal a few years ago and then changing his mind because the Arsenal players protested (that was the reason he gave for changing the decision). So, whilst it doesn’t happen often, you’d be wrong to say it never happens.

By Weston | December 30th, 2008 at 10:53 am nifty backpedaling, lol. I wonder whats its like to suddenly have the whole nation of peru out for a bounty on your head with only a handful of greatfull Extremadurians to protect you. (thats how you say it right? i hope im not doing a Bush-esque Iraqanese thing…)

By Alejandro | January 16th, 2009 at 12:18 am I must correct your post, though the players are Peruvian, that team was in no way the Peruvian National Team.
If you have any doubts compare the shirts they were wearing to that the Peruvian National team wears.
