The fallout from the bitter Bundesliga derby match continued today when it was revealed Schalke captain Marcelo Bordon called referee Lutz Wagner a wh*re after his team threw away a three-goal lead against Borussia Dortmund.
Stunned journalists first heard the enraged Brazilian (32) yelled to them; “What a referee. Ask him what’s going on!” Then he twice yelling “puta”, the Portuguese word for wh*re.
Bordon was angered after the referee failed to give Alexander Frei offside when the Swiss striker made it 2-3, and also that Wagner awarded a dubious against Mladen Krstajic for handball which gave Dortmund the chance to snatch a point.
The defender now faces the threat of preliminary proceedings from the German Football Association, the DFB - as does his teammate Krstajic.
Bordon added: “In Germany the referees make such mistakes every week. At the end we were playing 9 against 14.”
Schalke squad were quick to show off when they were 3-0 up, and even their coach Rutten found his squad to be "arrogant".
Should Wagner even have refereed the match? He may be the oldest Bundesliga referee, having taken charge of games since 1994, but he is not considered one of the top five. A referee spokesman justified the decision, and said: “Wagner has over 150 Bundesliga games under his belt.”

Throwing a way a 3 goal lead is bound to make you angry but obviously the Premier League's respect campaign hasn't made it to Germany yet.
