As a neutral football supporter with no financial involvement in the game. I cannot believe what I saw. If he is England's best referee then God help the rest of them, he totally screwed one team out of that game.

Manager's might still cry, but they couldn't really argue if a call can't easily made via replay.https://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/28899359/howard-webb---disgraceful?post_id=516012747#516012747Perhaps Jason, but if a Video ref took a look at a challenge and couldn't make a definitive call on it, then he'd just have to give no foul and play on.
