Howard Webb

Your thoughts on this
Ref missed the Handball consulted linesman result in no penalty and no sending off so do the powers of above get to reveiw video evidence and will seb larsson get a red card for this offence ?

 

No he wont. They only do that for violent misconduct that was missed by the referee

 

Sunderland have got away with 2 red cards in 2 games wtf is going on

 

If the referee makes the decision not to give the pen then the FA can't do a thing.

This is probably the reason why Rooney didn't get banned for elbowing that player in the face, and dare i say why Barton wasn't suspended for picking up Gervinho.

 

I have never liked Howard Webb, and probably never will. Imagine if we had lost?

 

I know the man was only a few ****ing yards away and if we had lost we would have had to kill him

 

Webb is a cheat, pure scum. Hopehe ****in chokes, he's a complete bent copper. He can chew balls the prick.

 

Barton got a yellow card for his troubles

 

Can anyone name a referee that is liked? Even if not liked is a decent referee??

I can't.

Years back there were good referees. Last good one was the bald Italian. Not anymore as not allowed to use discretion and commonsense.

So, who's fault is it really, the referees for allowing the authorities to tie their hands or the authorities for tying their hands?

 

I love Phil Dowd

 

Reckon he uses the same opticians as Arsene for his contact lenses?
Should've gone to etc etc!

Does anyone know the actual offence Barton got the yellow for yet?
Dissent? Wouldn't be the first (or last time) he get's something for
being too lippy... lol

 

Wasn't it for the second letter of his christian name matching the fifth letter of his surname offence?

 

Of course - I recall now a bit of a feisty exchange between practically the whole of the
two teams before a free kick - of course Barton was down Webb's throat which wouldn't
have helped but just wondered what the card was actually for.

 

Meh, Refs can only see what they can see. Do people really think they set out not to call the right decisions? Don't get me wrong, I was furious that we didn't get the penalty- however it just shows how much the game is crying out for video technology.

Get a video official in, give each team 3 'challenges' per half- unless the ref feels the need to double check- would hardly slow the game down either, the average person can make a decision based on seeing the incident replayed once over. Simples!

 

Usually within seconds everyone here, on the Sky panel etc has a firm
view and opinion on the matter of contention on the pitch.

A 'online' comms video ref is used in other very fast paced sports
- just not in football! Yet! Considering the high stakes and money that
are involved and the skew a game can take with a sending off or
penalty, it must make sense to have an impartial video official?

 

Webb conferred with his assistant, so why can't his assistant be a tv monitor?

 

This.

TBF Webb is a decent ref, he just missed a crucial incident. The way the players reacted suggested it was definitely a pen, but after the way Barton and Taylor behaved last week he was never going to take that into consideration; you live by the sword, you die by the sword.

Still, justice was done.

 

his failure to give bardsley a straight red was also an absolute disgrace ive only just seen the picture on the tackle... ridiculous

 

They both bottled it, any other ground in the country we get a penalty and Larsson would have been sent off.

 

I can see why most people hate refs but it must be tough for them; having to control a bunch of overpaid prima donnas, being constantly harassed and then getting serious abuse (see this thread) when they get a decision wrong.
