Mr.Howard Webb
Howard Melton Webb (born July 14, 1971) is an English football referee who operates in the Premier League and has been a FIFA-listed referee since 2005. He lives in Rotherham, Yorkshire.His other occupation is as a sergeant in Sheffield 1 South Sector SNA of the South Yorkshire Police. (wiki-ripoff)

aside from reminding me of the great Italian ref mr.colinsmthng from the appearance the Englishmen just give me the feeling he had "i'm the law" tattooed on his forehead in the match he officials. the million dollar player seems to moan less and the managers divert their barking on the 4th official more, prefer to play the advantage and let the game play on then blow the whistle every 5mins, i like the bloke alot

i hope the fa or raf committee would let him official those big match more. although he is still rather young compare to other epl ref but i rarely see him get the big decision wrong. i just hate the way certain senior epl ref would pus$y under pressure of bigstar player or top manager. disgraceful as well with the players and managers trying to "work" the official of the match these day ..

LoL time to bump thread

what an awful 2nd yellow card given to Nicolas Burdisso. the refee should be considering burdisso intentionally left his trailing leg to bring down lucas :/

its always a god damn shame when the officials want to be the "MAN" of the match

what was it? 10 yellow 1 red card and not a single (really)bad tackle by my count

first half chelsea mr.riley have once lived up to his "reputation" thats how official lose the match spurs and chelsea players obviously not going to pay any attention to him for the next 45mins. more fireworks to come for the second half
