Title: Champions league linesman!!! Post by: mjrevie on May 16, 2006, 02:13:16 PM One of the linesmen for the Champions League final has protested his impartiality after being photographed in a Barcelona shirt on Monday.
Norwegian Ole Hermann Borgan wore the shirt for a photoshoot with his local newspaper, Drammens Tidende. "There is no reason to doubt my impartiality - I don't support either of the teams," Borgan said. Uefa has no plans to replace Borgan for the final in Paris on Wednesday, a spokesperson told BBC Sport. The newspaper wanted Borgan to wear both Arsenal and Barcelona shirts for the photoshoot, according to its sports editor Per Jan Brekke. But the official found out he only owned a Barca shirt - and this was the picture that appeared in Tuesday's edition of the paper. If that happened in glasgow, there would be riots!!!
