Ovrebo ready to move on

Infamous referee Tom Henning Ovrebo is looking forward to getting his life back to normal after his performance in the Chelsea versus Barcelona game. The official caused uproar in the Blues camp after he turned down at least four penalty appeals as Barca grabbed a last minute away goal to send them into the UEFA Champions League final last week. The 42-year-old is set to referee his first game since the incident packed clash at Stamford Bridge at the weekend when he takes charge of a Norwegian league fixture. Ovrebo was venomously surrounded by Blues stars Michael Ballack and Didier Drogba during and after the game while it has been reported he has also received death threats in the aftermath of semi-final tie. "It's been normal," he told Verdens Gang's website. "I have been visiting my family and I have been to work, my other job as a psychologist. "I have it good, my kids are fine, everything is fine." Although the official has been banned from talking about the game by Uefa he hints that he would be prepared to talk at a later date. "Uefa have decided with the situations due to the game and the reactions that followed should not be commented on," he added. "When I am allowed to talk then you can ask me everything you wish. I wish to take everything at once."
