    and I don´t know about the rest of you, but I always thought he tried be fair and firm, in what is a ruddy difficult job. I feel sure he will fill his new role with the same sort of professionalism as he did out on the pitch.

    I'm not a huge admirer of many referees, but he is one I did have 'respect' for.

    Webb stood head and shoulders better than the majority of referees. The game will be far worse for his absence.

    Ref`s used to be old bald and blind , also their physique was not the same as the modern stocky ones so it is a surprise to see him hang up his little black shorts at his age.

    Really? The s**t he has had to put up with over the years I be the couldn't move upstairs quickly enough.

    Having footballers run their mouths at you every time you make a decision they don't agree with sounds bloody awful. Fair play to those who do it.

    I'd say Howard Webb was more burly than stocky. <whistle>

    One of the better modern refs, sad to see him go.

    I think with van Gaal they´ll probably get them anyway, with or without refs - top manager. :)
