Howard Webb

@prestwich blue,
You said earlier that there was a dodgy match where someone was a late replacement for Andre Marriner & last night the Swansea v Sunderland match had a ref who was a late replacement for.....Andre Marriner!! I'm glad Sunderland won that match but apparently there were 2 dodgy goals that could have been offside?

I am just making an observation, nothing else.

In this match there was also an incorrect penalty when a guy tripped himself up and a sending off that non of the pundits agreed with, in fact one of them said it was not even a foul. Refs are either incompetent or bent, neither option is very good for us paying fans.

webbs opinion counts for absolutely fuck all after his abject performance in the world cup final showed him to be totally out of his depth.
and yet hes allowed to be a mouthpiece on tv, its a pisstake, how can anyone take him seriously

Like someone else already mentioned, what's the point of a camera that never lies if the person looking at it lies. Like Webb and the Aguero pen and Stelling and the sky panel with the Sterling one.

Then again, you do what they do in rugby when the services of the video ref are required, and you show his deliberations on a giant screen in the ground. That way he has to have a little think about his own credibility

And the paying public get to see the 'infringement' from every possible angle so there be no shite about not being 100%! We will see the daylight between attacker and defender when pens are given at the drop of a hat, and the clattering players like Sterling get!

When the technical director for referees comes out with the old 'hands in an unnatural position' line then we are in trouble. Im sick of hearing that shite from pundits etc; the law is straightforward, deliberate handball.

The change in refereeing decisions before and after the 6-1 at the swamp proved corruption to me, the clubs statement through Vieira proved the club believed the same.

Scudamore's comments about a successful scum team benefitting the Premier League but needing to balance it out with putting on a competition should have seen that **** hung, drawn and quartered - corrupt twat!!!

I'd love to see this sort of openness in football but I doubt we will ever see it.

Poll, in particular, will totally contradict himself from one game to the next

When he was the ref, he contradicted himself ON the pitch, so hardly surprising he still doesn't know what he's doing.

Never forget these words from Scudamore.


"It's a double-edged sword," said Scudamore. "When your most popular club isn't doing as well, that costs you interest and audience in some places."

And that is exactly what caused ADUG to take action. It's quite likely we would not have had the Agueroooooo!!!!! moment if they hadn't. Time to do so again methinks.
