...for a second if I may.
One thing no-one's mentioned about Shels' run in Europe is the fact that the referees in all three of their ties have been different class compared to what most of us have to put up with in the eL. There are no excuses for this either, as many of our referees officiate at the same level as those in the Euro games. The players have moved on a level, now it's up to the referees to do the same.
Not sure if refs from this part of the world (see the Premiership for perfect examples) have the temperament to keep their ego out of the game, though.
