World Cup final referee Howard Webb: Who said what

English referee Howard Webb is still getting it from all sides today after officiating in the World Cup final on Sunday night.

Perhaps unusually, both sides are unhappy with his display, with both the victorious Spanish and the defeated Holland criticising his display.

So who said what about the Yorkshireman in the middle?

"The final was not exactly what I expected in terms of fair play. It's not up to me judge the performances of the officials, I can only say it was a very hard task that the referee trio had on the field of play. It was not easy, really not easy and they were really not helped in this task." - FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

"We are angry that we lost because we came so close. I know you cannot blame others, but the referee favoured Spain." - Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt.

"I'm trying to analyse the match as best as possible. But I read a few things today about how angry Spain were at the refereeing in the first match against Switzerland. If you view the performance (of the referee) today, you'd almost think now that that first match had an influence on this game now." - Holland manager Bert van Marwijk.

"He will never, ever, if he lives to be 100, referee a tougher match. I've never seen a referee put under so much pressure, I've never seen a team employ so much bully-boy tactics and the way they (Holland) harangued him at the end was absolutely disgraceful to be honest. If you take the De Jong tackle out - I thought that was a red card - other than that I don't think he's got much to really look back in anger at himself, because he's gone out, he's been tested to the absolute limit." - Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher.

"The tackle by De Jong into the chest of Alonso, Howard Webb must have missed that because that is a red card, you don't tackle people like that." - Former England manager Graham Taylor.

"I don't think the referee was up to this kind of game. I've seen him in the last few years in the Champions League and I find it unbelievable how he gets the best games." - Former Holland midfielder Jordi Cruyff.

"The referee did not meet the conditions required to run a football match. It's outrageous." - Former Atletico Madrid player and Marca columnist Juan Andujar.

"When I got my second chance, the referee should have given us a free kick and Puyol a yellow card." - Dutch winger Arjen Robben.
