An Open Letter to Ben Williams, Aussie referee



  Ben Williams doing what he does best...


Benjamin Jon Williams,
Aussie outback,
Australia continent.

Dear Mr Williams,

RE: Asian Games - China v Malaysia

I hope this  letter reaches you in the finest of health so that you can continue to make a mockery of the beautiful game.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rizal Hashim, a former journalist with the Malay Mail, an English tabloid known for its no-holds barred commentaries and analyses (those days are gone, however). Before I proceed, I must insist that I believe in objectivity and seldom allow myself to be swayed by sentiments or emotion.

However I cannot help but put your refereeing ability into question based on the way you conducted the China-Malaysia tie in the ongoing Asian Games in Guangzhou, where two Malaysian players were given the marching orders in the 27th minute.

The perception was that you were out to facilitate China's entry to the knock-out stages.

I suggest you study the footage of the game.

You would then notice that:

# A few seconds into the game, Malaysian right back Mahali Jasuli was fouled. Not only you refused to blow the whistle, you gave advantage to China. Subsequently Mahali's two-footed lunge was rewarded with a yellow card, with less than three minutes into the game.

# When Mahali lost his composure and kicked the ball away, it was because he felt a sense of injustice as it should have been Malaysia's throw in.

# Now, was Malaysian captain Safiq Rahim spewing obscenities Down Under style that you would be so quick on the draw, brandishing a straight red card seconds after giving Mahali the marching orders? Two players being sent-off simultaneously? Virtually unheard of in these parts...but in A-League, there's every possibility it happens on a weekly basis.

From thereon, the game was no longer being held on a level playing field.

S. Kunanlan's second yellow card? It was neither a life-threatening tackle, a tackle from behind or a karate lunge ala Nigel de Jong. But he became the third player to be given the red card and you duly rewarded China a penalty, how convenient. The 3-0 result became immaterial.

Perhaps Mr Gary Power, the biggest influence in your career and a one-time Asian Football Confederation director of referees, could admonish you in private. Or better still, I hope the match commissioner in tonight's game, Kul Sophana from Cambodia, would have the moral courage to take note of your incompetence and make the necessary recommendation.

In the interim Mr Williams, please consider sticking to teaching. It will serve the rest of the world better! But I would not be surprised if your name is shortlisted for the AFC Awards, if not this year, next year!

Oh before I forget, a friend of mine Syazwan Marzuki, reminded me of the fact that you were also the referee when Malaysia were given a hiding by UAE in early 2009, a loss which drew the infamous "M-League is not football" by coach B. Sathianathan. Read here. I sure hope you have nothing against Malaysia, Mr Williams.


Kind regards,

Rizal Hashim

P/S To my fellow Malaysians, coach K Rajagobal and his boys, I salute you.

Mr Rizal Hashim:
My name is Ahmad Haziq. I agree what you have stated in your blog. I think almost all of the bookings that was given by Ben is shit (I'm sorry to say that. Im angry). That was all accident and he should give an advantage rather than give a lot of bookings because of silly fall by the Chinesee

Tengku Firmino said...

yup..totally agreed!!! spot on..daripada skala 10.patut dapat -1 !! congrats to our boys and K.Rajagopal..Malaysia boleh..

you voiced out Malaysian's feeling on the issue. Ben William is a disgrace in the refereeing world and the football world as a whole. He is "KILLING" the game. A serious action should be taken by FIFA on this kind of manner/conduct shown by a referee. As a representative from a respectful body such as FIFA, his license should be re-evaluated and his fitness should be checked again, perhaps his mental condition too. Thanks

Encik Rizal Hashim,

Congratulations for a well written open letter. All emotions aside, there was something obviously wrong with the quality of Ben Willians judgement tonight. I agree that some of the tackles deserved bookings and sent off but definitely not that many.

The way i see it, it's living with 'i want to be famous' attitude in him.

wrote soemthing about this on my blog as well http://bit.ly/bBIjqZ

Stupid-bullshit ref from kindergarden school.. shame on u.. better hold a ruler or rotan to bit the player if they did mistake rather than show too many cards.. very shameful if im an aussie..

Riznal said...

Agree with you Bro Rizal (quite surprised that it was quick of you the write the Open Letter). FAM or NSC or whoever should submit an official protest at his atrocious performance. He should've just put on the white jersey of China. Everytime a Malaysian player tackles a Chinese player, a card comes in. And somewhat he was blinded by the stud rake on the knee of Gurusamy, or the elbow on Norshahrul Idlan's face? TYPICAL MAT SALLEH BUTA!

Apparently, this twat of a ref is on the AFC Elite Committee! What a farce! I have never seen a more piss poor refereeing from a so-called 'world level official'.

Malaysia played a hard game, but it was not dirty (ala the Dutch vs Spain) - the tackles were something which are common in BPL and surely, the A League. But what would you expect from a league that cannot give a fight to the Korean and Japanese clubs in the AFC? And it was far from maintaining the spirit of the game but not allowing 11 v 11. Were the words said by Safiq really deserved a red card? Takkan tak boleh bagi yellow card dulu? I'm still reeling from the disgust for this ref.

About time too other AFC nations consider the Aussie's participation in the AFC! Buat apa bagi one spot to them when they cannot even qualify to the world cup via Oceania? Get the hell out of Asia lah.

saya tahu semua rakyat malaysia x puas hati dgn ben williams tu...saya pun sama..tapi tahukah anda begitulah juga perasaan peminat sesetengah pasukan dalam liga super,liga perdana dan piala malaysia terutamanya pasukan kelantan dimana pengadil yg diturunkan FAM amat berat sebelah...diharap dimasa depan FAM dapat menyediakan pengadil yg berkualiti dan bukan seperti ben williams ni...kejadian semalam boleh dikatakan sebagai balasan utk FAM tetapi kita rakyat malaysia yang terasa..

Mr Rizal..I totally agree with you...yesterday's game was a DISGRACE...not to our player but to that IDIOTIC and UNPROFESSIONAL REFEREE-BEN WILLIAMS...I don't even know why he was qualified by FIFA...perhaps its about time FIFA re-evaluated his license and mental condition... Even China won, that doesn't bring any means as they won not because they are good players!!

EVEN IF CHINA WON LAST NIGHT,STILL IT DOESN'T BRING ANY MEANS AS THE GAME WAS TARNISHED BY DIRTY TRICKS OF THE TEAM AND THAT B*ST*RD BULLS**T REF-BEN WILLIAMS...

FAM or whoever it is should submit open protest to FIFA or whoever regarding this IDIOTIC,BIASED AND UNPROFESSIONAL BEN WILLIAMS

Anonymous said...

Hi Rizal.

I visit the blogs of my former colleagues regularly but never given to post a comment.

But I feel compelled to respond to this particular post.

I watched the game and my heart went out to Rajagopal and his players. Malaysia weren't just playing China but also a referee whose quality and ability come into question.

Did you notice the smirk everytime he flashed a red card? I got the impression that he was deliberate, that he knew he was making calls against the rules of the game.

He had only one function last night -- to ensure China qualified for the round of 16.

The best form of revenge against Williams, and the other perpetrators, is for Malaysia to do well.

I just hope Rajagobal will use this "conspiracy" against Malaysia to rally his troops. I hope the team is as angry and upset as I am as I write this.

So what if we are up against Iran next? So what if they seem the better team?

Remember Denmark when they became Euro soccer champions, and New Zealand when they won the Olympic hockey gold?

There should be a way to get a message across to Rajagopal and his boys -- that they are in our thoughts, that every Malaysian who watched Ben Williams' debauchery will be rooting for them to GOLD.

Thank you.

Ben William is not fit to be
AFC referee.

This is evident in his handling of China vs Malaysia last night where he gave 3 red cards to Malaysia!

Ridiculous.

You give red cards after two yellow cards, stupid.

You dont issue a red card for every offence. Idiot!

Obviously Australian are better suited to rugby. Soccer
is a tough game played by men.

3 red cards hahaha. This is not world cup.

Ben William is nincompoop mat salleh. pommies...stupid australian.

Lol yes this referee is being an asshole giving advantage to China team.

so its 30% advantage.

But even our politicians in parliament say 30% is no big deal...lol

Malaysia with 8 players can hold on with only 3 goals by 12 chinese players. i shall say 13 players . 1 form referee and 1 from china supporters. but deep in their heart i beleived china supporters will say " dammn you china players, with only 8 players you could only score 3 goals" what a pathetic bunch of players we have. and someone will add , that refree will go back to Austaralia and laughing all the way to Bank.

Mr. Ben Williams, your country must be ashamed with your act. You should be hiding in your room under your blanket because now people lost respect towards you. Don't come to Malaysia, people with throw their shoes at you and that time you will realised your red card is useless.

Anonymous said...

Tahniah kerana rakyat Malaysia bersatu hati dalam membantah keputusan yang dibuat oleh Ben Williams. Ini menunjukkan betapa rakyat Malaysia kini sudah kembali menyokong pasukan kebangsaan. Cuma sayangnya semua bantahan dibuat atas dasar emosi.
Saya mengambil pendekatan berbeza dengan menyalahkan pemain Malaysia sendiri kerana bertindak juga dengan emosi dan hilang pertimbangan di sebalik keghairahan ingin menewaskan China. Akibatnya pasukan negara menanggung rugi. Pengalaman ini perlu dijadikan iktibar oleh setiap anggota pasukan negara supaya tidak mengulangi kesilapan yang sama. Saya sempat merujuk kepada beberapa pengadil bolasepak negara yang bertaraf FIFA dan mereka bersetuju bahawa keputusan BW adalah TEPAT kecuali kad kuning kedua yang dilayangkan kepada S.Kunalan.
Jangan marahkan saya kerana saya juga punya persepsi tersendiri dalam menganalisa apa yang berlaku. TQ TQ TQ

"Adelaide United defender Iain Fyfe has escaped suspension after the A-League's match review panel found he was incorrectly shown a red card in Tuesday night's loss to Perth.

Fyfe was sent off in the 61st minute of the match at Hindmarsh Stadium for impeding Socceroos striker Mile Sterjovski while the home side was leading 2-0.

The send off changed the game dramatically with Glory captain Jacob Burns scoring from the ensuing freekick and Perth going on to win 3-2.
The panel found referee Ben Williams made an error in sending off Fyfe for "denying the opposing team a clear goal-scoring opportunity" and overturned the red card.

It means Fyfe will not have to serve the mandatory one-match suspension and is free to play in Saturday night's match against Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

But that will serve as little consolation to Aurelio Vidmar's last-placed side, which had badly needed a win against the Glory to revive their hopes of making the finals".
Taken from an Aussie soccer league.

Ben William is "the best in doing his job".

please whatch the CHINA VS KUWAIT ... asian cup

same ref ... poor quality

Anonymous said...

Ben Williams last night did all the same in Kuwait VS china in Asia cup 2011 where he simply gave away the match to the china team by
1) denying the Kuwait team a very clear penalty
2) sending off a Kuwaiti defended with the red card after he is fouled and kicked by the China player.
3) did not count a goal to Kuwait although the whole ball crossed the goal line.
4) did not call a loose ball foul in the chinesee strikers 3 times before the score the chinesee gool.
all the 3 Aussie's referee were bad
and seemed to be fixing the game.

Just an update to the case of Kuwait and China, The Head of AFC Mohammad ben Hamam admitted last night that Ben Williams was not fair to Kuwait!!!! but till now ther is no actions taken against him!!!!

Ben Williams should be sacked as a referee. It’s been a long time since I watched such an abominable performance by a referee as Ben’s. Watching the match between Sydney and Melbourne Heart on Friday night, I was thinking Peter Green is the worst referee in the country but I was wrong, very wrong; compared to Ben Williams’s performance on 1 February 2014; Peter’s performance was brilliant. Ben Williams gave so many free kicks to Wanderers, most in good kicking positions that one of the attempts just had to land in Jets goal (I would question most free kicks he gave to Wanderers anyway). In addition; I have a question for Ben as well. There was a clear red card offence committed by Wanderers goal keeper just before full time. The referee stopped the game and in the process gave a red card to Joel. I am not sure whether I am right, but from my understating the game should’ve continued with Jets getting a free kick. Wanderers keeper should've got a red card and Jets should’ve get a free kick out of the incidence.

Is that right or wrong?

Is Ben on the take???

I can't believe Ben Williams has been picked to referee the World Cup, after last nights game Adelaide v melbourne heart.
