Tom Henning Ovrebo's name to any Chelsea fan and you'll send a shiver down their spine.It's been exactly 13 years since he became public enemy number one at Stamford Bridge after controversially waving away four strong penalty shouts as the Blues were dumped out of the Champions League by Barcelona - courtesy of a 93rd-minute Andres Iniesta winner.The image of the Spaniard wheeling away in ecstasy is a memory every Chelsea supporter will have tried desperately to supress, but as far as Ovrebo goes, they've refused to forget.The Norwegian's blundersome performance sparked all manner of conspiracy theories, and to this day many Blues fans are still convinced of his corruption, but after nearly a decade-and-a-half Ovrebo has finally admitted that he should have awarded Chelsea at least one penalty that night."I don't think the Chelsea supporters are correct when they claim four of five penalties, but I think everybody that knows football and the laws of the game knows there should have been a penalty given," he told the Daily Mail.Michael Essien had given Guus Hiddink's side an early lead with a thunderous volley from the edge of the box, but the visitors only needed to equalise to progress to the final. As such, Chelsea went hunting for a two-goal cushion, but found themselves battling more than just the Barcelona players to get it.The first penalty appeal came when Florent Malouda was hauled over by Dani Alves just inside the box, though Ovrebo bizarrely decided to award a free-kick instead.

signed a bill into law that prohibits discussion of LGBTQ-related content in primary grades, and in secondary grades if the topic is broached in a manner that is not “age appropriate or developmentally appropriate.” Critics, who have dubbed the new law the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, argue that the only way its provisions can be enforced is either by trampling on the speech rights of LGBTQ students, students with same-sex parents, and teachers, or by censoring entire lessons related to history, biology, or sex education.On Tuesday, Louisiana’s House Committee on Education rejected the Pelican State’s own version of the law by a 7-4 vote, with three Republicans joining all the committee’s Democrats in opposing the legislation.Chief among the objections to Horton’s bill were that banning gender identity — writ large — would not simply censor transgender-related issues, but might bar teachers from using gender-related titles like “Mr.,” “Ms.” or “Mrs.” — since even cisgender people have a gender identity of their own. While Horton said that was not the bill’s intention, the committee struck down an amendment that would have removed that provision before ultimately killing the bill, reports Forbes.But Horton insisted that the legislation remains necessary, arguing that it is inappropriate for teachers to share details about their personal lives with students.

He said on his Weighing In podcast: "[He's an] absolute punk.
