World Cup Final - Spain vs The Netherlands

[Macky]

It's like watching Wimbledon in the 80's so far

 

[glyn]

Dutch should be down to nine men!

 

[Boy Genius]

Given up.... crap match being spoilt by a big headed **** of a ref.

Is this the World Cup Final, or the Howard Webb Show!

 

[Boy Genius]

****ing Hell! Spain have just brought Jesus on!

Talk about help from high.

 

[glyn]

Robben just had a 'and smith must score' moment. Good save, but still should have scored.

I think it's the players spoiling it.

no the ref is spoiling it.

 

[Jeff]

no the ref is spoiling it.

How is the ref spoiling it?

all the ****ing bookings. Why don't refs just use their head and have a word instead. This is the biggest match any one of those players has ever been in and the twat should be more lenient

So the ref's a twat for not letting players kick lumps out of each other?

don't be a thicko Jeff, you certainly know what I mean.

If he'd had a word with them instead of booking them they'd have just kept doing it anyway, until they got booked.

Why blame the ref when it's the players doing the fouling?
Or is it just because you hate the ref?

If they keep on doing it then he books them, that's what a good ref would do. I am surprised no one has been sent off, unless he is keeping that gem for extra time.

 

[FryattFox]

I've got to agree with Jeff - the fouling has been persistent throughout the whole game and some of it has been completely cynical. Don't think Webb's had the best of games, but not surprising given the nature of the game.

 

[glyn]

Most of them have been fairly hefty fouls. The one I don't understand is a Dutch player who fouled villa, Webb let play run on not because of any advantage then got them to kick it out of play when villa looked injured. Somehow he booked the Dutch player despite not having seen it.

 

[Jeff]

If they keep on doing it then he books them

And in the mean time we have even more fouls. The sooner they get booked the sooner they stop kicking opponents.

The players know what's allowed and what's not allowed, why do you think they should be treated by children and given a second chance?

 

[glyn]

I can sense penalties. Can't see the dutch breaking their shackles in et, and Spain will tighten up too

 

[MHS]

I have to say I think Webb has done extremely well.

 

[Jeff]

I have to say I think Webb has done extremely well.

BG hates refs, they remind him of the police and traffic wardens.
