There's no way wotsiname should have stayed on the pitch for a chest high late booted challenge. He was subservient to the occasion - Holland should have had 2 players sent off by half time and a cheating and violent team nearly made it to the lottery of penalties. Weak refereeing.

This.


That tackle on Alonso was disgraceful. Actually hoped that Webb would make a momumental fuck up and never ref again. Oh well....

I think we have had too many referees making match defining decisions in big games with sendings off and penalties. Webb made no hasty decisions and the best team won, he will be appluaded for this performance I reckon.


We all saw the bad foul on Alonso of course, but he did not see it in slow mo like us, overall I thought he did really well - he took no shit from the players, laid down the law early with a fair few bookings of the key prepetrators and also avoided controversial decisions. Well done I think.

I think Webb and his linesmen did very well. We all know what Van Bommel has got away with all tournament, Webb made no hesitation in booking him. 15 yellows and one red is more a refelction on the players than the ref and for all the prostestations Webb and the linesmen were spot on for the goal.

Thought the Ref was poor last night and spoiled the game, whether because of his reputation from the Premiership I don't know but he had no authority on the game. It's a World Cup final and there will be late tackles early in the match but instead of using his discretion he continually nipped the flow of the game. Yet when it came to giving a second yellow card to Puyol or Robben he decided to use his discretion.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      I think the Brixton Pound lives on, so there must be some kind of appetite for it, but I'm afraid I doubt it would be very useful for me.

      Fireworks

      My primary issue is the noise level and the fact that it begins at dusk and continues well into the early hours, the odd random bang being possibly the worst aspect as you never know when the next volley will occur. This is no longer about celebrating a turning point as the clock strikes 12am, but more a lengthy indulgence in ear shattering bangs, where there also seems to be competition as to who can create the loudest most startling barrage of sustained noise. A new thing is daytime fireworks, where buyers are urged to forget the visual aspect and focus on getting the biggest bang for their buck. I am lucky as I am not super sensitive to noise but I really feel for those who are. As for pets, I am afraid there are now many that require serious medication to get them through- and those meds are not cheap. The fault here is not with the animals or people sensitive to extreme bangs, but with those who insist on their right to impose it on all around them, not just for half an hour a few times a year, but for hours on customary dates and now  spreading to random events throughout the year.I  New Year fireworks is a very recent construct, and now Halloween Fireworks are becoming a thing. Why should we encourage and condone a proliferating societal noise addiction? It really is isn't healthy. Let those who wish to damage their eardrums enjoy their pastime through headphones; they can turn the volume up as high as they like.  If last night was the end of it then that is great but I think there'll be more through the weekend and more discarded jumbo firework boxes dumped in the park. I hope we follow other countries in adopting low noise fireworks and drone shows instead.

      NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.
