Howard Webb

I usually have a lot of respect for Webb but he bottled it today. There were quite a few challenges in the first half that should have been bookings and then chasing after Cole to book him made him look daft. If a player walks away from a Ref he should get sent off!

actually thought he did very very well today in the face of relentless chelsea harrassment/intimidation

Agree! Terry was at him all game and he knobbed him off.
Did anyone else notice the look of hatred in Terrys face when he went in against Carlos just before the end it happend 10 yards in front of me and I am glad Terry hurt himself because it could have been a season finisher.

In the end I was quite pleased he was lenient - Chelsea could have lost a player or two, but I think Barry was lukcy not to get booked for a challenge late on when he was already on a yellow.
 
Today was one of the most in-consistent refereeing i have ever seen.

He was absolutely SHIT, he was poor for both sides, mainly us but how chelsea had 11 men on the pitch at the end i'll never know

belleti cleans out tevez, 30 seconds later he does another foul on adebayor in a more threatening goal position, then after the ref gave the free-kick he kicks the ball away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, how the fuck in gods name did he stay on?
 
We won today despite the referee, he was crap. As has been mentioned already...............How Chelsea kept eleven players players on the field is between him and Sky.
 
his decisions were ok but he kopped out on a number of occasions in terms of getting his cards out, that pissed me off.
 
How anyone one can say he was ok is beyond funny Richards played the ball off Cole for a goal kick, Webb gave the corner which lead to their goal. Gave Anelka his last warning mid way through the first half then didn't book him in the second for at least two more fouls bottled out of a red card.....Only plus side what a spot by the officials when Carvalho kicked Tevez in the back for the free kick for the winner.
 
Shocking refereeing. Never looked like a corner for their goal. Consistant fouling by their players as indicated by the 6 Yellow Cards he managed to give them. Couldn't wait to give the penalty as Terry had already worded him after he reckoned he should have had a penalty earlier.

Chelsea at times make me want to puke. They have got top drawer players but persist in constantly cheating, diving, slyly tripping, crowding the ref to win games that are not going their way. This is why they'll never be considered a truly top team, they can win well but choose not to. And refs like today let them get away with it.

What made me laugh was the free kick for our winning goal. The wall was about 6 yards away when the free kick was taken and this IMO contributed in Cech not being able to see it til late. Thats what you get for cheating you southern twats!
 
Very poor :-

Tackle on the edge of the box in the first couple of mins and failed to book the player
Anelka - he pointed out his 3 other poor tackles and then let him off
Corner for their goal when it clearly wasn't

So overall only 1 booking out of a lot of poor tackles in the first half yet then went card happy in the secold half yet missed some key moments - waving play on, foul and the going back for the booking and ignoring the second foul with free kick from the first - second time he did it the linesman had to remind him of the second.

And these are the highlights from the rose tinted glasses of a blue that other could add more to and then rthe view of those sat the other side of the ground.

Bottled out of a number of key decisions (how many times did he give Ivanovic his last warning, Deco tackle on Barry, Beletti on Bridge etc). Got the corner wrong for their goal and looked to have gotten a handball wrong for our first.

I don't think he did get the 'handball' wrong ........ as things stand for handball to be given it has to be supposedly 'hand to ball' , and not 'ball to hand' ....... and Micah Richards made every attempt to get our of the way of SWP's shot , even pulling his arms in ........ the ball flew at him so fast he could do little else but deflect it.

I agree, but hasn't cole got a history of walking away from refs before they book him !
