Did you wish him well when he chalked off Vidukas 'goal' v Fulham? No, but I don't believe a mistake makes them terrible at their job- same with players and managers.

Howard Webb reffing the final- well done to him!

Gareth Southgate and Andy Townsend really don't get on.

There was a fight at the end there but Tyldsley was too busy doing his pre-scripted bollocks at the end that he totally missed it.

THought it had been worse myself, the f***er just didn't stop talking. Not surprising if he's by himself though is it? You can't have too much silence

This ref has been one of the best of the tournament prior to this game- he did the opening game, England-Algeria and Holland-Argentina without any major incident.

Desailly is in the stadium, not sure why he's not doing it.

The stadium is in Cape Town and the studio is in J'berg.

Jim Beglin was taken to hospital before kick off.

No co-commentator- must be a first on British TV.

Nice of the witness to help the police with their enquiries instead of selling their story to a newspaper eh.

Aye, made a lot easier by the fact they were all on the 6 yard line!

Fair enough to the first point, I wouldn't want to see the player celebrate though. Seeing a player being glorified just for breaking the rules reflects badly on the game in my opinion.

I think it was disrespectful to Ghana to carry on like that. Yes, I know, outdated values and all that, but if I'd have handballed it (which I probably would) I'd have stayed out of it out of embarrassment.

The sight of Suarez being carried on his teammates shoulders at the end of the game is fucking awful by the way, will stick in my mind as one of the worst bits of any World Cup.

They don't come with football though do they? They've got a lost worse in recent years and a lot of people dislike it.

Who cares even if there is? It's not relevant at all to what's being discussed People were probably more concerned that two of our players had started fighting each other during a game.

Why are you such an arse tonight? There's actually some decent points being raised on both sides and you're going on like a kid because you don't agree.

That's the point surely.. But then there'd be no need for the rule? It'd be a deterrant- I'm guessing people don't want them to do it! Actually, re-reading, I have no idea what argument you're trying to mark ya dafty.

Devils advocate- penalty goal and yellow card?

That's the point surely.. But then there'd be no need for the rule? It'd be a deterrant- I'm guessing people don't want them to do it!

Fake Andy Townsend- superb!

That's the point surely..

Now I think about, Suarez's gamble only paid off considering: - It was the last minute of the game - Ghana missed the penalty - Ghana lost the penalty shoot out Also, Uruguay didn't have Suarez for the penalty shoot-out and they are without him for a match. Can you legislate for a crazy situation like this?
