[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

OK... the red was a bit harsh but to completely fall apart like Germany have since then has been criminal

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Didn't see the first Klose card, but the second one was a stonewall-miss-the-ball tackle from behind! McCarthy is meant to be a manager and can't see it

There really was nothing in the second yellow, in my opinion

Just going by what they said on the radio, though he now after the yellow for celebrating, is saying that the ref seems to be getting carried away and doesn't think he'll be reffing the final.

Well the guy jumped over a barrier, and celebrated with the crowd. Which is always a yellow card.

Sounds like the radio presenter is clueless.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Oh-oh... don't we get germany if they finish second and we win our group?

COME ON GERMANY!!!!!

Set his stall early on with bookings and has been forced to continue.

Germans hit the bar!

I have got no sympathy here.
The ref had made it very clear that he was not going to accept the constant fouling, and breaking up of play that was obviously in the Germans game plan.
Close is already on a yellow and he goes in from behind while chasing back. What the hell is in his mind.
Everything fell into place for them in the first game. Now 1-nil down with 10 men its all forgotten.
Game on. Come on Serbia

Germany 13-2, Serbia 2-9

7-1 on Skybet.

Impossible to resist.

On the radio the co commentator is saying the ref is actually making the right decision. That both tackles were from behind and that every card the ref has given in the game has been the right decision, even though it seems unfair that Klose has made two foul challenges and is off.

Well then that co commentator is a cock.

All the bookings have been soft. Ref has set the game up so that now almost any tackle is going to result in a yellow.

The referee's a WANKER !

We'll do Germany & from what I've seen so far there's no one to fear in this world cup!

Looking back it was a bit silly of Klose who already booked has seen the ref give quite a few other yellows. But still looks overly harsh to me

I agree and having seen the highlights, it's clear that Klose got a warning before the first card. It's no good moaning about the ref, that red card's perfectly reasonable

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I think i must have sabotaged the Germans, I brought Klose and Lahm into my dream team this morning

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Unfortunately the Germans are good enough to win this

 

[1066familyman]

Exactly.

 

[Mendoza]

ridiculous amounts of yellow cards that half, did the goal scorer get one for jumping into the crowd?

 

[1066familyman]

Think this has highlighted just how poor Australia were against Germany. Their defence was so flat that Germany had a field day. Serbia proving a different prospect all together.

Still fancy Germany to go on a win this though - even with ten men - which, with this idiot ref, is bound to be evened up at some point anyway.

 

[The Large One]

It's Pat Nevin on the radio, and what he's is saying the while the tackles were not vicious or nasty, they (certainly the second one) was from behind, and that if you have a ref who is behaving like this, then don't put yourself in a position where you give him the excuse to get booked, which is exactly what Klose did.
