A whole chapter dedicated to his time in Mississippi in the 50s.
Heard some wild stories about him.

Funny John looked like him too.Dennis Rowbottom. The only similarity with Collina was he also had a totally bald head. A very poor referee.
That’s an easy one to answer.Did he use the "N" word when he sent him off, or does he have a history of only sending off black people?
Struggling to grasp the racism bit.
What makes Funny John so funny?Funny John looked like him too.
Aye, on here.Heard some wild stories about him.
Come in one niner, one niner. You’re talking pish, over.I never understood the "love" for him. He was ( IMHO) a rascist cheat. He sent Paul Ince off in Italy when, at a corner, Ince was stood with his hands on his hips. The keeper ( maybe Buffon, but I can't remember) threw himself on the ground with his hands on his face. Collina races over and red cards Ince. He couldn't have seen anything to warrant any card, except to the keeper fo simulation. As far as I am aware he has never even apologized or acknowledged his "error", he seemed to get a lot of his reputation just for looking scary.
Yes mate, it was sarcasm, the ease at which people call someone a racist these days is frighteningAye, on here.

It was a terrible decision.Baldy Rowbotham!
Sent off Gazza at Parkhead after he and Morten Weighorst clashed, the correct outcome for which should have been a yellow card for each player. However, he gave Gazza a straight red, and wouldn't even give Weighorst a yellow, as he had been booked earlier, and would have had to walk.
In many folk's minds that decision was a pivotal moment in our bid for TIAR.
Leaving aside the racist comment I don’t think he’s too far away.You have had a nightmare here.
I was about to post the same Craigie, the press and media absolutely slaughtered him for not sending gazza off. He was a complete pr1ck after that.With regards to Rowbotham, he started off as a fairly decent referee then was hounded for supposedly failing to send Gascoigne off during a game against Aberdeen,
He was never at the same level again afterwards.
Baldy Rowbotham!

And how would he be the referee in a Man U v juventus, or England v Italy?or have I misread?So he’s racist based on the fact he, allegedly, wrongly sent Paul Ince off once?
The poster is full of shit but he was presumably referring to something he dreamt happening while Paul Ince played for Inter.And how would he be the referee in a Man U v juventus, or England v Italy?or have I misread?
Thank you, I missed the Italian league game possibility.The poster is full of shit but he was presumably referring to something he dreamt happening while Paul Ince played for Inter.
He suits they corrupt b@stards.He’s the head of refereeing for fifa
Williuigi Colummina?We used to have a Sottish referee that looked a bit Collina-ish. (in looks not ability)
It would seem that the bold Pierluigi was not a Bear.As mentioned above,

I was going to post I remember him having a shocker against us in a European game but couldn't remember which one.Absolutely robbed us in Turkey

Maybe I was over the top with the rascist bit, biased against non Italians in his domestic league may have been a better way to put it, appologies.Come in one niner, one niner. You’re talking pish, over.
Me too loved the bit where he describes the camaraderie of the Referee Association of Italy as ...' The brotherhood of the members and help and assistance is like being a Mason' or something similar, is good mates with Dallas.I read his autobiography a few years ago, a decent read
What about the story about sending off Ince?Maybe I was over the top with the rascist bit, biased against non Italians in his domestic league may have been a better way to put it, appologies.
Rowbotham, worked for General Accident, told my mate who was a colleague, that he'd never give Super Ally a penalty.We used to have a Sottish referee that looked a bit Collina-ish. (in looks not ability)
Correct.He just looked an authoritative figure.Collina wasn't that great. His appearance was responsible for his reputation rather than his performance.
I was convinced he cheated us away to fenerbache. Seemed to give them every decision , but maybe my bias and alcohol has clouded my memory.
Pretty sure we protested his appointment as he had never referred a game in Turkey that the Turkish side had lost.
Denied us a stonewall penalty.
He was a disgrace v Gala. Amo said ge did a lap pf honour after the game.As mentioned above,

Racist? Did he make a monkey gesture as Ince walked off?I never understood the "love" for him. He was ( IMHO) a rascist cheat.

Anyway, you couldn't be more wrong. Ince was sent off by Collina in a match against Sweden in 1998. It was two yellow cards, the second of which was for a foul on that well known white supremacist Henrik Larsson. You've had a nightmare there mate.
