Howard Webb

[SammyAftershave]

Rejoice, rejoice.

[magicrat]

United have lost their best player . Happy days

[Russ Atmosphere]

I don't even believe he was bent, just phenomenally bad at refereeing like most Premier League referees. The standard in other countries is on another level where they aren't attempting to be the players best mate.

[JohnnyH]

He's going to be all over the TV now. He'll be a refereeing pundit on Sky or BT before you can say "corrupt, SYP-tossing, Fergie-rimming prick"; giving his over dramatic views on bog-standard decisions so he can eke out a meagre wage to pay for his never-unproven penchant for the slavery and eating of orphans.  The cheating, possible-enslaving-of-children, wanker.

I hope he is and get's quizzed about some of his decisions but BBC reported he is going to be chairman of the referees association actually so I cant see him being on the box where he would have to comment on his members performances..

Unfortunately he's dead but not yet buried and in a position of some influence.

I just don't see this. I'm not saying your wrong but from what I've seen referees seem as bad everywhere else as they do here. Admittedly I don't see a great deal of foreign football but the bits I have seen has always led me to believe it's just an impossible job. The world cup was supposed to be a collection of the best refs in the world. Some of the decisions in that would have people in this country setting up spy cams to catch them recieving their brown envelopes. It was horrendous. Webb of course is the worst of a bad bunch here, but I don't think collectively we have the worst refs at all, if anything - some of ours actually seem like the better ones.

I'm as happy as the day that aul cunt maggie died.

That's about 6 points extra a season and a cup tie we are up now.

 

And Major Tom, don't start wading in here defending the bent twat or I'll have to break my self imposed ban on abusing you.

[Dr Nowt]

Its not Webb being dragged repeatedly through a pit full of sewage via the hook inserted in his rectum, having been shamed in front of the nation and sentenced to live in Elton John's sex dungeon, but I'll accept it.  Grudgingly.

[thompsonsnose]

As Peter Griffin would say... Guud.

Top news.

[aws]

Like a new signing.

[setreal]

Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra and now Webb? How will they cope?

[Trumo]

Agree with the point about him being more prominent in the media from now on. As he no longer has to think about being selected for World Cups, I expect him to praise referees who send players off early for Eto'o-on-Henderson style leg breakers or De Jong-on-Alonso style kung fu kicks to the chest, and for not awarding Man Utd soft penalties at Old Trafford. Basically praising them for doing the exact opposite to what he would do in those situations.

 

As for the World Cup, it looked as though the referees had been asked to let games flow a lot more than is normally the case. Yes the officials still made some bad calls but we didn't see any games that descended into a kicking contest as has happened at previous World Cups where the referee was too whistle and card-happy. Normally before a World Cup, FIFA come up with a clampdown on certain infringements which results in a flurry of cards and suspensions in the group stages. When that is pointed out to them, they soften their stance and the referees often end up turning a blind eye to those same infringements in the latter stages. At least in Brazil 2014, there was consistency all the way through. Whether it was a high enough level of officiating is debatable but we didn't see wildly varying performances from the officials.

[J-V]

Good riddance to the piece of scum. Gave us a parting shot of costing us twice last season the fucking bent cunt.

[AL66GOLF]

Big blow to the cunts in Manchester-  Van Gaal is going to have to sign at least 2 refs to replace him

I'm lucky, I didn't have a ban to break.......you fucking halfwitted moron

Fuck off Howard and go enjoy your retirement ya manc twat.

[Boss]

Fucking bellend of the highest order, good riddance. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

I couldn't give a fuck.

[DanDanShaw]

Don't believe the hype, it's all a cover up.  He failed his medical, AIDs I heard.  Cunt.

[Tj hooker]

Nailed on for a testimonial at Old Trafford me thinks as a parting gift

[Allan]

Retired to spend more time with his family.

 

[Nightcat]

heard that his penis enlargement operation failed.

[smilezzz]

3-4 games a season where we actually stand a chance without this oaf officiating? excellent.

 

i can't stand this fucking turkey strutting around as if though the match is all about him, with his chest puffed out and that smug look on his face, fucking bent twat.

[Bjornebye]

Fuck off you baldy bastard

[Captain]

Good riddance!
