I'm not so sure we should be blaming the officials wholesale. Take the Arsenal game; Once again, the referee got blamed for the 2nd goal, but what quick thinking from the Porto players, and how stupid of Campbell and notsofabianski to give the ball straight back. Campbell should have cleared it. The keeper (I think he's a keeper, cos he had a different colour top on and some gloves) should not have come off his line, either. The ref indicated it was an indirect free kick as he ran back and Porto reacted, end of story. Arsenal have themselves to blame and the sooner managers like whinger go and read the rule book, the better.
I heard about the Bayern game and the offside rule is fast becoming a joke. I don't know if there was a chance that the player is not seeking to gain an advantage or interfering with play, as I didn't see it. The game is so fast these days, but that adds to the fun. And having something to discuss or debate the next day, too.
