Kewell's handball was less deliberate than Vidic's AFL (ateepmt to) catch.

I am hoping Ghana to get another lucky penalty and red against a German player and will have to face England and get thumped while we come 2nd and get Slovenia

Vidic did look like he wanted to mark the ball. I guess our luck is shithouse because we're not a Euro team, or South American, and African (in that order).

How Cahill got a red in the other game and that one Ghanian didn't is amazing.

Vidic didn't stop the ball hitting the back of the net though.

The way England are playing at the moment, I'd rather go up against them than a confident Slovenia.

It Was an absolute joke , wasnt a pen or red card seen thousand of them waved play on and the ref completly rawted
us and it is a real shame. The ref sould be dropped as his disgraceful performance and should never ever be aloud to ref a game again. WE WERE RAWTED

Thought i would post a section from the French Sports newspaper Le'Equipe this morning... Very well written and fitting even in translation:

"Certainly, Australia is experiencing a complicated love story with the World Cup. Out on a refereeing error for their first experience in 2006, the Socceroos have returned to competition Supreme painfully, losing heavily against Germany (0-4), while losing badly and Tim Cahill being denied a blatant penalty. Against Ghana, team Pim Verbeek may once again consider themselves aggrieved by the decisions of referees. The double penalty - expulsion from Kewell and penalty - imposed by Mr. Rosetti (25th) has relaunched the Black Stars, albeit a penalty which was totally apathetic and harmless. Then the man in black has shown mild with Ghanaian Lee Addy, only cautioned for a tackle from behind on particularly dangerous Bresciano (39th).

Despite these injustices, the Australians, valiant and brave, got caught and proved one thing. They have talent and heart. And today, it was these two features that allow them - yet - to aspire to a better tomorrow.

Gee FIFA Have a LOT TO ANSWER FOR. Fancy Appointing an ITALIAN REFEREE after the debacle of 2006 ! Both AUSTRALIAN RED CARDS were 40/60 DECISIONS. ( ALL I CAN SAY THAT IF IT WAS GERMANY, ENGLAND, BRAZIL OR ITALY the decisions would be completely DIFFERENT. THE 2 SERBIAN PENALTIES WERE MORE BLATANT THAN KEWELL'S BUT YELLOWS WERE ONLY ISSUED. We have clearly used ALL OUR LUCK IN THE QUALIFICATION ROUNDS ( BAHRAIN, JAPAN AWAY). I am so proud of YOU SOCCEROOS AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST v SERBIA.

Like the Serbian player Kewell was punished 3 times for the one foul. The red card, penalty & however many games they will miss as punishment for a hand ball FIFA will issue. And yet the foul on Bresciano got nothing but Cahills got a straight red. And I have some jokers on this blog supporting the refs.
