Peter Green (referee)

Peter Daniel Green (born May 29, 1978 in Brisbane, Queensland) is a football (soccer) referee in the Australian A-League. Green was awarded a FIFA badge in 2006 and is now eligible to referee international matches. He was also selected on the AFC Elite Referees Panel for the 2008 year.

Controversy

While refereeing the 2009/10 Preliminary final between Sydney FC and Wellington Phoenix Sydney FC striker Chris Payne scored a controversial goal with his arm, which he awarded, despite protests from the Wellington players. Replays show the ball clearly came off Payne's arm, although it remains unclear to whether it was fully intentional or not. As a result it has reignited calls for Video Technology to be brought into the game.
