Webb bottling it big-time. Disgraceful performance for the WC final. Why FIFA picked this dud for the WC i'll never know.

Nonsense, if he bottled it he'd be sending off all round. He hasn't really made a bad decision apart from the De Jong incident,. As for Van Bommell and De Jong well they're just a complete law unto themselves. It's just in their nature to batter all around and they won't be stopping soon

If it was just lots of little niggly tackles i wouldn't mind so much, but its fuckin' war out there!

Game needs a Spanish goal so the dutch might actually have to come out and play some football.

Bollix. He doesnt want to ruin a WC final either. 2 yellow cards have been 'dark yellow' I imagine. He's a good ref IMHO with a tough assignment.

ye the dutch should just bow down to spain and stop tackling,cause they play the best football:rolleyes:

By all means tackle, but stop committing red card offences over and over again.

Some leap on Puyol

FUNKY LOVER

What van Bommel and de Jong did were certainly not tackles. GBH comes to mind though.

...there have been 2 very easy to call straight reds. Or is it ok to kick a guy in the chest and slide through the back of another guys standing leg?

Yes thats already been said no need to repeat it.

Boskowski

That's what we should have done. Kick the sh1t out of them. Instead we had 22 fkn minutes without a free

PHB

Not a bad tackle gone in yet this half.

~Rebel~

At the moment this is on a par with the 90 final... hopefully something changes in the next 40 minutes.

argosy2006

Second half has been better so far,less stops in the game

_Bella_

And Van Bronkhorst joins the list of yellow carders!

ragg

I have an Idea - Why don't we all over react about a few tackles

chupacabra

That was no yellow. Ramos gesturing for a card again.. very poor form.

Turtyturd

GTFO the ground Villa.

argosy2006

he never saw it but booked him

Insect Overlord

He should get an Oscar for that performance. What is it with Spanish players and pretending to be in agony?

namloc1980

Heitinga in the book now.

Reganio 2

Webb is losing control,. Booked him for nothing there he didn't think it was a free but a yellow? Just a joke.

chupacabra

poor start to the second half by Webb.

bad2dabone

looks very soft there, don't think that was a booking.

Spains new instructions, act up?

I dont get why peopple get so wound up about this??
Why is it bad form? Have you never played football and shouted at the ref to book someone??

gandalf

Isn't he supposed to book players gesturing for a card as well?

_Bella_

Oh Van Bommel!

Leiva

Van bommell = Muppet in English

PHB

Jesus, at this rate, it's entirely possible every single Dutch player will get booked.

Heitinga deserved to be booked. He was way late into Villa, nowhere near the ball and into the back of the player.

Turtyturd

Iniesta's lucky he aint wearing an orange jersey.

Sherifu

Great final. NOT.

Nah Kuyt won't

Jimmy Iovine

Sickening thing about van Bommell is that he can certainly play football. He's a quality midfielder but he doesn't seem to want to play that side of the game

Of course i have.. but its still poor form

baldbear

Players will playact now to get someone sent off. Webb knows he missed that red in the first so he wont miss the next one.

His major contribution in the game so far. Been shocking imo.

I mentioned this earlier, been getting on my nerves the whole tournament.

He should get a mandatory yellow for being Kuyt :pac:

namloc1980

This is horrific. Makes the 1990 final look tame.

Leiva

Webb is not a "stop start " ref but in fairness he has no fooking choice !

_Bella_

Hmm... Navas coming on

PHB

Navas is a good sub, Spain need some width

efb

Is Webb just going to book every Dutch player, whether he sees the foul or not?

Mr.Nice Guy

The players aren't making this easy on Webb. A lot of silly fouls being given away which is not allowing the game to have any rhythm.

Reganio 2

He is doing what he does in the Premiership, letting players crowd him and force his hand. Gesturing for a card is meant to be a yellow as well. Van Persie should have been taken off about 60 mins ago.

Totally agree, he is there on name.

Not Navas:rolleyes:

Great save

Insect Overlord

World class save!
