  • Slavic savages, scum of the earth.

  • @VisionThing Umm I hate to break this to you but Latvians are not slavs they are balts.

    So before you go all nazi on everybody get your facts straight you fucktard.

  • Classy fans

  • It's not Rick Looker, the referee's name... it's Dick Fucker....

  • Why did they even care to put up a fight....i mean they were playing Canada its already a guarenteed loss for Lativa.

  • crazy

    

  • what did the hockey paler say on the mic?

  • @rickmerceristhebest That, let us finish the game, and we know refferee made mistakes, but let us finish.

  • Looker is still stupid as hell...LOOKER YOU SUCK!

  • Four years later that ref still stinks!

  • Comment removed

  • can someone translate :( lol

  • I think that referee now poops himself a little whenever he hears "Latvia" :)

  • When was this?

  • @AmAtOrY7 During WC in Riga 11 May 2006

  • Referee was ABSOLUTELY one-sided, and it's not fair in any sports...

  • @mazaischickens but he didnt score the goals ?

  • referee epic fail

  • Latvian fans - the best!!!

  • Latvian fans - the best!!!

  • what language is the commentator speaking?

  • @siivvald It's Finnish.

  • @ShorthandedGoal :D :D 

  • I loved what the Latvian fans did in this game, I was present at the stadium that day. I have a lot of respects for ref's but boy did this guy ever dig his own grave.

    Is there anyone who can translate what the #5 Sprukts said to the crowd?

    BTW, You Latvians are the best fans in the world!

  • Malacis SPrukts, cik ta var huiņu dzenāt, spēle ir spēle nevis cirks...

  • But they need those pennies!

  • I`d love to get my hands in this ref.. I would know all his teeths out..

  • wow you have great speaking skills.

  • I mean - knock. ;D

    Misspelled. ;D

  • Americans throw beer bottles Latvians throw coins

  • makes being a ref worth it.

  • @chunkeymonkey91910

    latvians throw shoes too...

  • @chunkeymonkey91910

    Obviously, there are not as many Jews in Latvia :-)

  • He is the worst ref in Germany! But he is a professional! :D

    I saw that game live I did not really wonder this happened. The Fans of my Club in Kassel usually don't thow things on the ice. But once we got suspended..now guess who was the shitty Ref... :D

  • He is a referee in the German league and he is still a asshole and will referee the next world championchip in Germany!embarrassing fou us! Sorry for my english

  • Comment removed

  • Latvian hockey fans are like the 6th player on the ice - it was proven after this ^^

    /We roll - 5 stars/

  • @baibucix He said :"Dear spectators, please... we all are displeased with the referee but please don't trow stuff on the ice. I understand that the referee has made mistakes today but please let us finish this game."

  • @IreinisI They should fine and suspend the player for making that statement or whoever made him say it. It is up to the the legue of the federation to decide if the referee made mistakes not the player or his coaches. For him to say it like that is completely wrong and rather arrogant. If the fans wanna act like jackasses let them , the game will be called and they can go home early.

  • @Towndrunk26er He didn't go out there to blame the ref but to calm down the public. He asked the spectators to let them at least finish the game as they would not allow that to happen before this statement. Was he wrong by speaking about ref in this situation? I guess so, but not to that extent to be suspended. Given the situation he did the best job he could at the time. Emotions took over and thats about it. I bet you would go out and say stuff like that as well if you would be in his place.

  • @IreinisI My understerstand is from someone elses post that his words are "Dear spectators, please... we all are displeased with the referee but please don't throw stuff on the ice. I understand that the referee has made mistakes today but please let us finish this game." With those words he is passing judegement. That is big no no for a player. I don't think it is a players job to go out and calm people down. That is the job of the organizer. The players job is to play Hockey.

  • @Towndrunk26er Nobody likes officials in Latvia. Had it been the president of Latvian hockey federation, he would have been shot by an unknown sniper right on the spot.

  • @Lachausis Like them or not you still have to obey the rules.

  • @baibucix  6th player is Sergei Zholtok...

  • @baibucix The sixth player on the ice would be the goalie.

  • @baibucix

    more like the 7th. :D it's already 6 players for each team on the ice rink. guess forgot about the goaltender. ;)

  • Canada won 11-0, and the ref was still a asshole to Latvia, on their home-ice. stupid unsportsmanlike american, what does he think the crowd of mostly latvians wont notice?

  • ha wat a great idea . they should introduce that in the nhl

    all the proceeeds can go to charity

  • He speak Finnish! He is Antero Mertaranta from Finland!;)

  • personally i dont blame them for being mad at him, i was mad as a canadian fan watchin that, it was brutally reffed

  • Shindler is mother fucker...

  • what is sprukts saying??

  • he is saying to the fans to stop throwing things on the ice otherwise the game will never end.

  • He's saying smth like this "i understand that you all are upset about the referee and he's made some mistakes,but please stop throwing things on ice otherwise the game will never end" sorry for my english

  • Letsgorangers30, he is saying,that we all know that referee has made a lot of mistakes,and said to people to do not throw boots or money on the ice,because injuries may happen.And finally he told let them finish game... :)

  • Sprukts says: ''I know ref made some big mistakes but let us finish the game''

    Some thing like that :)

  • Latvija!!!!!

  • If somebody didn't watch this game then just SHUT THE FUCK UP! You didn't saw it, that's why you don't know the fucking problem why latvian fans did this.

    That's why - JUST SHUT UP and don't be idiot!

  • Reminds me scene from the french movie Asterix and Olympic games, where the Roman guy bribed the referees of the Olympic run and instead of running around the the stadium, he just crossed it directly to get to the finish and won :) Everyone saw he was cheating, but if referees don't say anything... there is nothing that 'everyone" can do. Sadly this is very often the case in sports, where big money and politics make rules, and sports and honour has no value, sadly.

  • 0:40 reps :DD

  • mēs klausamies tikai savējos...pati esmu fane un saprotu kas un kā notika šajā spēlē..TIESNESI *opaaa vajadzēja..xDxD.. JĀNIS SPRUKTS ..))

  • ak tu dieviņ tētiņ, Tev , jaunais cilvēk, NEVIENS neliek te apmesties uz dzīvi un dzīvot. Ja jau esi TIK apkaunots par savas valsts hokeja faniem, kas vienkārši nepiekrita tiesneša lēmumam (kas, btw, bija ļoti un galīgi sūdīgs). damn. nevarēju Tev neko nerasktīt, jo šādu indivīdu dēļ man vienkarši.. grrr.. Tev neviens neliek darīt to par ko tev būtu kauns un par ko Tu justos nelaimīgs.

  • Kur pie velna Tu izrāvi, ka es vainoju tiesnesi??

    Es veinīgi teicu, ka tā lēmums bija sūdīgs, nu un? Tā jau nav vainosāna.

  • Lai nu būtu, bet neredzu, kur tiesnesis būtu bijis tik "netaisnīgs".

  • Could anyone please translate the whole thing Janis said there? Thanks :)

  • was too lazy to translate myself so i copied it from previous coments : "please don't throw the things on ice, becouse, maybe this game won't end today... i understand that refere are making some mistakes today but please... just let us and the game."

  • @Laulujouthsten translated

    Dear watchers. (can't exactly understand a little part he said there) Please don't throw thing on the ice or this game will never end.

  • Continued (pressed accidentally add coment)

    Nobody wants this to happen. I understand that referee made mistakes, but please let us play this game to the end.

  • Who grows up thinking "I want to be a referee?"

  • Jeb kurš pasaules fans pateiks ka Latviešu fani labāki

  • Well, Latvia is wealthier than some of the American states and every decent country has some immigrants. Americans also have a shitload of Hispanics, so what?

    And on a sidenote, stop mixing Latvians with Russians.

  • LV is not poor.

    There are 2,3 million inhabitants.

    27% are of russian nationallity.

  • you are an idot there are no 1milion russians lol maybe 300 000 but not million lol

  • You are dumb... Dived 2.3 mill with 4, and u get aprox 600 000, not a mill

  • in Riga 55% of people are russian, dont know about other but thats what i found in some government statistic page.

  • Idiot. Where you found this information ??? :D

  • ''government statistic page'' well if you would be smart inuf you would understand that ment from internet, just go to google and write Latvian statistics and they should throw web sites with stuff like that, and i heard that from my friend who is Latvian so dont call me idiot becouse you the only idiot in this conversation.

  • It's 45-48% russians here.

  • sorry then for wrong number but the fact is that the number is huge.

  • Nah it's okay. It's hard to find precise information on internet anyway about this kind of things.

  • Comment removed

  • What a bullshit.

  • and to continue..They are more as a count as the 2nd biggest country, but they are not better as funs!! That is the whole point!! And think how much it costs to travel with the team from Latvia to Canada considering that most Canadians are richer than any avarage latvian hockey fun who travels as a fun, but canadians still sit on home games excedpt maybe some huge funs attending some huge final games abroad.

  • The bottom line is...it's not about how MANY attend..because abviously Latvia has only about 1500000 latvians ..comparing to Canada, USA with millions of people living there..so of course maybe Latvians are less in amount..but it's actually about the support, noise, team spirit, cheering and traveling with their team anywhere they go..loose or win..still support..not only attending the home games and calmly sitting a crowd...that's what the real funs are all about and that is what Latvians have.

  • watch?v=GiPR-QZSHEo&feature=re­lated

    look at this NBC vid!!!

  • latvia owns ofcorse.. you can say anything u want.. but we are 2,5mil contry + 1mil of them are russians.. so its 1,5mil latvians agains whole canada.. and look at our fans.. arent u shame to open your mouth noob.. latvia owns..!!

  • Atceries Šindleru? Tas bija vēl trakāks!

  • Latvia hawe 2.000.000 mil.population,Canadians hawe ower 500,000 profesional ice hocky pleyers.we have only 5,000 so I think thet seys evrithink.

    LATVIA AND LATVIAN FANS THE BEST.......

  • were only have 37 000 000 people we make up 60 % of the nhl

  • Oh Rick, you screwed this one...

  • the Ref is now rich!! :D "go and buy a candy for your self"!! :D GO Latvian fans. Latvian hockey fans really are the best ones.. :)

  • ha ha. :) we are the best fans, arent we?? :) and..we arent the worst tm if we play in the 1st division!! :D we are one of the best in da world!!!

  • U said that Latvia could never beet Canada? couple of years a go we playes 3:3 against you guys...go check ur hockey diary!

  • yous aw the game? you think we were upset just because we lost??? it was a fucking ballet not a hockey waht that reatarded ref made . ofcourse we dont stand near canada bu we arent such a pussies who loose 0:11 in NORMAL judged games.

  • NOOO ITS NOT!! :P

  • canadians r talking like a fuckin smart asses,but imagine if u had population like in Latvia and financial support like in Latvia,where would u play then ? in a group with mongolia or something i guess haha.and of course these pussy referees who r always closing eyes when a strong team does a mistake and giving penalty for the smallest bullshit to weaker teams should be banned

  • we all know that the referee has made some mistakes, but please dont throw anything on the ice so the game can end, as we all want to.

    By Sprukts

  • canada scored 9 powerplay goals in this game!

    can someone plz translate what sprukts said?

  • I think someone told you already but yeah he sad!"we all know that the referee has made some mistakes, but please dont throw anything on the ice so the game can end, as we all want to."

  • not nice, but ref was an idiot.

  • an american ref wouldnt help the canadian team out on any day...

  • Comment removed

  • And if he would include, than we could won this game!!

  • Sum41forlife41 - Fuck you .. .. refree didn't include two goals .. and there were 2 GOALS!! . There were two fucking goals!!!

  • I were there! :] Refree realy suck! :/

  • Jaa ! tas bija man liekas 2006 gadaa, kad latvieshu speletaju noraidija, un moneetas, toletes papiiru un pudeles meta uz ledus.. tas vnk psc :D skatiitaaji :@ :@ :@

    Daudzi arii tika sodiiti...

    Yeah, i remmember it was hmm like 2006 year when the referee judged Latvian player, but the Latvian Audiance, didn't realy like it !

    Throwed coins, bottles and toilet paper on the ice .. :D Thats us !

  • Žēl ka netrāpija tiesnesim ar zābaku pa galvu :D

  • The latvian said "I understand you are very upset with the Judges decision(It's about not counting our only goal in) we are unhappy too,but please let us finish this game"

  • In Germany we see Rick about two times a weekend. It's horrible. Thanks to Latvia! You did the right thing. :D

  • Damn...If he would be even once in Latvia after this that would be a holiday for hockey fans. He would leave our country in wooden casket!

  • throwing items on the ice this is the real support!wankez

  • All best to Riga.Greetins from Slovakia,Worlchampion from Goteborg 2002.

  • Janis Sprukts "we all know that the referee has made some mistakes, but please dont throw anything on the ice so the game can end, as we all want to." that was the main idea. And Canadians, Go f*ck yourself!!!

  • i ll even pay for your english school if you going to attend one

  • WHat did the player say near the end? Anybody know?

  • I was watching this game. And I think the announcer said he asked the fans too stop throwing things on the ice.

  • Thank you!!

  • No probs.

  • pfft. The scots invented the game. So go rape a chicken.

  • look pal, i dunno how they do it in scotland but what you do to your chickens is between you and the chicken. and is anybody going to actually argue my point. i mean come on...canada IS hockey country nobody can REALLY believe otherwise

  • Hey man, there's no better way to get scrambled eggs. And the latvian guy kinda has a point... At games here you scream yourself hoarse whereas at some of the NHL games I've been to it was like being at a pub - everyone just yammering away to each other like it was some sort of social club...

  • nhl is american and commercialised. we mean business when we cheer for our COUNTRY (see this year's past World Junior Tournament). and just wait till vancouver 2010, then you'll see how feeble your fans look in comparison to ours on the world stage. i'm still willing to bet though that a leaf game is louder than any other latvian game, but for sure you guys can't compare when we cheer for our country.

  • Maybe Canada is hocky country, but not hocky fans country :p

  • oh ya? is that why this past world juniors tournament held in Canada absolutely destroyed all sorts of attendance records? did you even whatch the coverage? Ticket Sales, Stadium Attendance, TV ratings, Online Viewers and Arena Sound Decibel records were ALL shattered. And these were our JUNIORS playing, not even the real deal guys and we showed that kind of support. Let me know when latvia or any other of these soft european countries break the records we set this year.

  • You don't like the truth?? You think that in latvia isn't the same situation?? WE love our hockey .. We are in the record book .. AND YOU ARE???

  • are you asking me or telling me something? cuuuse that last entire comment you just left was one long question.

  • Jesus. You just don't like the truth. Latvian hockey fans are in record book, but Canadas fans are not. What don't you understand?

  • See, I gave a concrete example in talking about this past world juniors tournament. Again, if you were watching the coverage, and you should have been seeing as how Latvia was IN the tournament, you would have known that each game broke a new record because they mentioned every single game. THAT is SOLID undeniable evidence because you heard it too.

  • Buy a ''Guiness world record book'' and read it. :D :D Damb ass :D

  • How many Canadians go together with their hockey team to the other countrys? How many? How much noisy are you?

    We are fanning about aur team all game long. You just don't like the truth . :D

  • Latvian hockey fans are 100 times better than yours. We are the best.

  • remember the 1980 usa team

  • The fact that the Latvians even play at Canada's level is amazing, when you consider that Canada is about 500 times more populated than Latvia. Latvia was the winner.

  • Canada would've beaten Latvia anyway... but that American referee totally favoured Canada. And I do understand how upset those Latvian fans were. I got there one day afterwards and they told me that the noice from the crowd was way over the limit on the decibel measurement tool. The limit was 114.. it reached that in a second. I heard that the amount of money thrown on the ice was huge too.

  • damn, those was responses to other comments. wtf?

  • please don't throw the things on ice, becouse, maybe this game won't end today... i understand that refere are making some mistakes today but please... just let us and the game!

    that's sprukts is saying...

  • kanāda

  • The ref was a parody in this game

  • Canada would have beaten us any way but that would have been an honorable fight but this was absurd that referee is the most hated person in Latvia

  • Latvia fans are not crazy, latvia has no ultras fans orr hooligans in football, they are just people ho live a normal life,

  • What did Sprukts say?

  • anyone els just not fucking refery from u.s.a

  • I was watching this game at TV !

    In and there was son that laoud was 109 decibels!

    Lot of peoples have problems withs ears after this game!

    And i agree that , that wasnt Canadas fault but referees was in canadas side!

    Latvians cannot touch everyone!

    Then fans sown that refrees are idiots! :)

    And i can say that LATVIANS fans are the loudest and crazyest fans in the world!

  • Hyvä Sprukst

  • Oh I remember this game all too well...

    I was there and I can say that the noise was almost as unbearable as the referee.

    It was an unfair match judged just so that latvians couldn't do anything at all.

    I remember one guy walking inside with two huge cups of beer. Before the guards could do anything about it, the cups were flying straight at the judges...served them right though

  • Canadians are not guilty. They just played a game. But a REFERRE can sucks our asses....

  • ... what did Canada ever do to you... and Canada has great fans too
