Howard Webb

[Hades]

No red card and penalty against Mertersacker for more contact than Agger made against West Brom.

 

You can't win this league without the refs on your side, that much is clear.

[xerxes]

He was generous to Pepe for the foul at the end and ignored a possible red for Gerrard when he slid in for a tackle, nothing to complain about today.

Gerrard won the ball and hardly made contact. Vermaelen feigned injury as usual.

[RobbieOR]

The referee for our game on Sunday.

[Jairzinho]

He'll be torn though, surely?

 

If he's too nice to Chelsea it'll damage United's title chances.

[Chip Butty]

I hope he dies of Hypertrichosis.....or Lou Gehrig's disease.

 

 

Or both.

[robslappa]

How the fuck has that twat got one of our games?

[ngogswilly]

Chelsea have to get their rub of the green after getting shafted against the Mancs.

 

Get your money on either a dodgy pen or a red card against us.

[ZonkoVille77]

He shouldn't be near any of our games. End of.

[Gym Beglin]

It's highly dubious that he passes the conflict of interest test.

He never has and its done my head in for years. You would think that now the wider public are aware of what has gone on, that he wouldn't be anywhere near our games, but he is and it fucking stinks.

[Unrighteous]

Webb is currently stinging from being dropped by Ferguscum for United's starting 12. He'll be out to earn plaudits from his manager.

[RedPaul]

Who decides if he can ref our games or not taking into account conflicts of interest? Does the club have to raise an objection?

[Reacher]

How the fuck has that twat got one of our games?

 

Because LFC are too soft. Have been for years. Incompetent too!

[dave u]

He shouldn't ever be allowed to referee us again.

 

Even if he makes an honest mistake that results in a costly decision going against us, the accusation is always going to be there that he's getting us back on behalf of his SYP buddies.

 

It's a farcical situation, the club should object to it.

[Gym Beglin]

Multi billion pound industry, you'd think there was publicly accessible mechanisms to ensure that noody is doing anything untoward...but that's the PL for you.

[Nightcat]

The club doesn't care. The owners don't know anything and don't care enough to learn.

Ian Ayre has no clue apart from spreadsheets. The guy is a joke for a club like Liverpool to have him as a CEO. He can't defend the club's interests inside the FA corridors

[Bjornebye]

Can't we have clattenburg

[DaveT]

Big dilemma here for Webb. Does he shaft Chelsea because they are one of the only two threats ManU have for the title, or does he shaft us because, well, that's what he does? He'll probably just send off 22 players and have a win-win for himself and Ferguson.

[Gym Beglin]

Can someone not tweet a journo and get this question publicly asked? Come on, let's get a fucking answer to this, or at least a response.

[diamondjoe]

I hope he dies of Hypertrichosis.....or Lou Gehrig's disease.

 

 

Or both.

 

reminds me of dennis leary-

 

"Gotta love Lou Gehrig. Jesus Christ, poor Lou Gehrig. Died of Lou Gehrig’s disease. How the hell do you not see that one coming? You know. We used to tell him, Lou, there’s a disease with your name all over it, pal!"

[Redder Lurtz]

For anyone who can be arsed to read it there are some interesting points here, on a gooner's site. For starters he fucked up all 10 of his red card decisions last season.

Out of interest, has he ever passed comment on Hillsborough or is he under any kind of scrutiny about his time served in the SYP?

Fucking hell, some effort gone into that blog.

 

They reviewed twenty of our games last season (revealing some unsurprising Webb results):

The events early in the season really look very strange to me. What was the reason for this sudden swing in the bias numbers? Why was Liverpool suddenly being targeted in some games when going first in the league? Who didn’t like this?

[bouncebrigade]

Why doesn't somebody at the club raise the potential conflict? If nothing comes of it, at least it will be in the public eye and will put his (probably incorrect) decisions under more scrutiny.

 

A bit like old ginsoak's tactics, or should we be stooping that low?

[Gym Beglin]

Liverpool journo's would rather be sticking the knife in on FSG or Rodgers than do something fucking useful for the club they profess to love.

 

 

Ask the fucking question in a press conference, tweet it to nationals, casually mention it on a national phone-in, do something useful with your journalistic status.
