Wot, no fat lady?

A football match only officially finishes when the referee says so, an
Antwerp judge has ruled. The appeal court judge was ruling in a case
brought by a gambler who stood to win €10,000 on the result as it
stood at the end of the regulation 90 minutes. But the referee allowed
play to continue, and another goal was scored, wiping the man's
winnings out at a stroke. After consulting the official rules of FIFA,
the judge refused to intervene, and ruled that the ref's final whistle
is the only official end to the game. And the unlucky gambler can now
whistle too, for his lost winnings.
