And what about the polish offside-goal?! Or the not-given penalty for Austria after break?!Only in 1 situation (the last one) Webb helped a lil’ bit Austria.
But when you see the whole game, it was very unfair FOR AUSTRIA!!!

@Larry I know it is hard being a referee, no one is 100% happy. However, it was not just one call that got fans upset it was the whole game he was ignoring cheap shots by the Austrians. Go back and look at the guy from Norway he was attacking the Polish play with his fist who was just standing there. I should find the youtube of it. It was all the events that lead up to that moment not just that moment. I can not imagine how he could have ignored so many cheap shots. Maybe Howard Webb did not see it. But if so Howard Webb should not referee another game if that was the case. I think personal threats against him go too far as ‘peace and love’ its only a game, but man Howard Webb is either very dishonest or a strange kind of an idiot.

I’m a football referee myself who referees semi professional. The comments I’m reading are bang out of order. It was a penalty. He warned the Polish player before the free kick was taken then made the free kick be retaken, which was superp refereeing. Then the Polish player decided to ignore Howard Webb warning, then correctly awarded a penalty kick to Austria. If you want to blame anyone, blame the Polish player for giving away the penalty.

Yea… the guy saw foul when the young Austria player (blond one) hit Jacek Bak (Polish defender) and as Boruc saved the shot He gave another chance to those Fritzl sons… and then PREMIER LEAGUE REFEEREE Gave penalty for a normal fight! That kind of “fouls” is common in UK…so why didn’t he give 11 penalties per match during Premier League matches?…
