http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21580408 interesting article this, reading between the lines you could say that he is admitting to man u bias in the 1994 Fa cup final " Referees still feel mistakes. In a way I'm still hurting about a decision I made almost 20 years ago in the FA Cup final. What decision was that? I gave a debatable second penalty in the FA Cup final in 1994. On reflection I would prefer not to have given that decision. I had already given Manchester United a stonewall penalty beforehand. But the second one was justifiable, but not a strong penalty. I was disappointed in that decision and it clouded my enjoyment of that major game. In a way it's spoiled my memory of the cup final. It was my big game and I made a disappointing decision."
He ruined that cup final. We were playing well with peacock clocking the bar. I remember getting drenched on Wembley way afters, only consolation was united aborting their lap of honor cos Chelsea fans were raining so much stuff on the pitch when they came down our end
He just fell short of saying if he had not given the penalty and United lost his career would have suffered as a result as with every other ref that doesn't give them a decision and they go on to lose, the pressure of that forced him into giving the penalty. How many can Webb look back on, he gives United more debatable penalties than any other ref. How many years was it there were no penalties at OT or just one in how many seasons? Ref's that ref a united loss are fat stupid or just really bad on the day according to Fergie in the media, and it has worked, nearly all refs do not handle the spotlight like players and managers, not at all To say they do not sway\influence\scare referees is just complete nonsense rather than agreeing being a conspiracy theory
