The FA & Referees

[Wilson 358]

How does it work? Do they just get put in at random matches? I mean today, I find it ironic and can't believe we have that cunt Howard Webb today. That's Uniteds biggest advantage today. Fucking ugly stupid bald prick! He claims not to be a United fan, but judging by his poor decisions he gives United and gives against us, he clearly is. I used to like Marriner until 3 years ago. He is a bastard, especially with the bigger teams. He is more strict with them and usually favours smaller teams (mainly when they vs a bigger team) for some stupid reason.

It is strange putting in Howard Webb, especially after what's been said about him and Man Utd. Maybe he'll prove once and for all that he isn't a Man Utd fan today n give us a nice dodgy decision for fergie to cry about again. I am worried i must admit.

Because the fact is, Howard Webb is the best referee in England.

He was chosen to officiate the World Cup Final. So he must be doing something right! Yes there is an alarming fact that he's given 3 penalties in the last 4 United home games, but this can also work to our advantage because he'd be paranoid about that stat too.

Fergie's already said he's happy with it. So if we do get a decision our way he can't say sh*t. And they are judged afterwards on their mistakes by the FA, who review all decisions, sometimes they send them down to lower leagues as a punishment

Webb gave a lot of decisions in our favor as well, Ivanovic was very lucky to have stayed on the pitch.

We were lucky not to have conceded a couple of penalties as well! Lampard was the culprit of handling the ball in the area, which was waved off!
