Howard bloomin Webb

[Rudo]

I cant blame the refs for our bad season last year. If we would have scored more goals than the mancs we would have won.

We were poor, and no amount of bad refereeing changes this

No-one's making excuses for last seasons catastrophe dude. Just making the point that Webb isn't the ideal Ref for this particular fixture.

[-V-]

To be expected though, Its the biggest game of the weekend and he's the world number 1 ref apparently

True enough.

With the coverage he got Referring in the WC, his profile is at an all time high.

let's just focus on game, **** that scum cunt!!!

But he reffed the final appallingly. The guy's a complete 'look at me' cunt.

That task is made nigh on impossible when the ref's mantra is for United to win the game.

I dont think he did it intentionally though. He said afterwards he didn't want to send anyone off in the final and ruin the spectacle. Holland ruined the final with there filthy tactics. I dont blame him too much, i do think he said after as well that he should have sent off De Jong.

Penalty to the Mancs, guaranteed.

I don't know much about the FA's method of choosing referees but if Howard is the only one they think is 'qualified enough' to referee this 'big game' then that is a ****ing disgrace.

Logically it's ****ing stupid that the FA can choose the same referee for a fixture two seasons in a row. He was the referee in this same away fixture in March and he ****ed that up by giving them a penalty for Valencia's dive outside the box another one of the many poor decisions I remember was when Maxi got kicked in the head, hard twice and not even a single booking.

Howard's world cup final refereeing was a disgrace, if the arsehole had any respect for football integrity the **** would have quit.

I'd bet my entire salary this month that:

1. United will get a penalty at some point (from nothing).
2. We get denied a clear penalty.
3. We get a goal from corner/free kick denied due to 'pushing'.

That makes him an appalling ref, and makes it even worse. You cannot legislate for occasion and other factors like that. If it's a red card it's a red card. It was a gutless, cowardly display of refereeing.

The only thing I regret Rafa not doing is "punching Mr.Ferguson in the face"

I agree it was a terrible decision, but think the game was refereed with good intentions. I think he was worrying too much about the game not being about sendings off, but what acually happened was that it was a game were we all talking about people not getting sent off.

[Shaggy]

Is he your Dad?

[Alex]

Is he your Dad?

No, but i think hes not the terrible referee that people make out.

[danperkins]

Webb is a banker to make a **** up, after his initial season in the top flight were he was excellent he has been absolutely shocking.
