Do we recon this ref gets the final?

"Quality Teams"

 

But what about the ref?  

[JonnyZeroFox]

Hope we don’t get a red like that against Mexico 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Genuinely awful refereeing, fair play to france 

[fazzyfox]

Pah, handbags! 
Walshy and Duncan Ferguson in the tunnel, now that was a fight.

[RowlattsFox]

 at the Paraguayan players complaining about the ref 

[kingfox]

Thank you France

 

In all my years watching football, that’s the most disgraceful performance I’ve ever seen from Paraguay, a disgusting bunch of ****s.

 

Referee was also pathetic too, should have sent about five of their players off.

[bovril]

Off you **** Paraguay, back to obscurity 

[Raj]

Not 1 Paraguayan  booked🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Well done France especially  Mbappe under that assault

@Rajmakes a glib comment questioning an Uzbekistan referee being appointed seemingly from what he wrote on the basis of his nationality. I made a glib comment insinuating nationality doesn’t matter even if this one is bad.

 

If that insults you, I’m very much fine with that. 

Nah. The ref is bad no matter where he's from. I got no inference of nationality from what @Raj said and there was no implied racism which is what you seem to think.

Anyway... it's all over.

Especially the fact that they made most of us root for France

[Muzzy_no7]

Yeah the fact I was rooting for France towards the end says a lot  

[J.Lisemore]

That is the most unbelievable refereeing performance I’ve ever seen  … has to be investigated for betting or something, bloody hell

The worst I've ever seen. Even Sunday league ref's are better

[kingfox]

The ref tonight made Gavin Ward look competent.

Think it's more the ref's incompetence than what Paraguay did, as shit as it was. 

 

[Thefox81]

Such strange refereeing in that game. Can only think of something dodgy going on. My mrs couldve reffed that better and she doesnt understand football at all. Probably never find out but no ref could be that bad.

[Jonezy]

That was unreal. Never seen anything like that going unpunished before. 3 or 4 of the Paraguay players could have had 4 or 5 yellow cards.

We're not. It's more about the incompetence of the ref to keep control and have the minerals to stand up to the Paraguayan players. He was wank.

[Hales]

Well i enjoyed that 😂
