Referee regrets Lehmann red card

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4993994.stm

Referee Terje Hauge has admitted he may have acted too quickly in sending
off Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann during Barcelona's Champions League triumph.

Hauge dismissed Lehmann in the 18th minute for fouling Samuel Eto'o, with
Ludovic Giuly's resulting effort ruled out as Hauge had blown for a
free-kick.

"I would have liked to have taken a few more seconds before I made a
decision," Hauge told a Norwegian newspaper.

"If I'd done that, I could have given a goal and given a yellow card as
well."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and captain Thierry Henry have both slammed
Hauge's performance in Paris and claimed his decisions favoured the Spanish
side.

But the Norwegian said he was pleased with his overall display as Barcelona
won the match 2-1 thanks to goals from Eto'o and Juliano Belletti.

And he said the Lehmann incident was a difficult one to judge after the
German became the first player to be sent off in a European Cup final.

He added: "We had full control of the match and all in all I'm quite
happy with my performance.

"Under other circumstances I would perhaps have done something different
with Lehmann, but this mostly rested on the positioning in relation to
the situation.

"Everything happens quickly on the pitch and for me it looked as if there
was physical contact.

"As well as that it happened in the linesman's working area and I had no
reason to doubt him in this instance.

"It was obviously a big game for Arsenal, and to lose is a huge
disappointment so I understand their frustration. But we'll have to give
it a few days so we can discuss this more sensibly."
