UEFA should be worried if that's the standard of ref's they have lined up for '08

Thought it was a great game, the dutch dominated as the game went on which wasnt really surprising as we seemed tired and invited them onto us.

The ref was abysmal, he seemed to be picking at random which collisions to give as backing-in and which as pushing. He bottled the decision on Taylor because the manager came on the pitch which was embarresing to say the least, if onouha could walk off in normal time why couldnt Taylor walk off at the very end. Still top marks for the injured penalty.

The goalkeeper encroaching issue bugged me a lot, i thought the ref might wait till he actually saved one due to coming out but it then seemed the ref was just going to ignore it all together. I've heard some people say Carson stepped out too but he was never as blatent or as far forward as the dutch kipper.

Still there are some positives, some great penalties under pressure and Lita looked class.

Anybody else think Reo-Coker is very overated?, gave the ball away and took a penalty that i wouldve been dissapointed to see my mum take.
