Eau de MacGowan posted:Webb was intimidated by Raheem Sterling manhandling him, couldn't sleep, couldn't get it up, severe PTSD, RIP The way he handled that was an indication of why he was one of the best refs. Sterling was loving well out of order and a lesser ref would've tried to save face by booking him or worse. Webb just does the "really?" face and tells Gerrard to have a word. Even with his big club bias he was light years ahead of anything else out there in the UK.

Not sure how bottling it and doing nothing is the mark of a good ref tbh. Made his career being soft but looking tough with that big bald head.

Webb was the only ref in the league who actually looked like he could gently caress players up, sad to see him leaving.

With Webb out its Clattenburg as the big man for the forseeable future then they're hoping Oliver develops into something right?

straight up brolic posted:With Webb out its Clattenburg as the big man for the forseeable future then they're hoping Oliver develops into something right? Yep, this is exactly it. Webb's retirement leaves England with only 6 FIFA listed referees (age out in parethesis): Atkinson (2016), Clattenburg (2020), Marriner (2016), Oliver (2030), Probert (2017), and Taylor (2023). Webb's new role will probably be helping England develop young referees that can be FIFA eligible since most of the new guys to the Select Group that do the Premier League tend to be older because of the time it takes to gain experience. Especially after how well Stuart Atwell panned out.

Well Clattenburg is refereeing the UEFA Super Cup on Tuesday and Oliver is an 'additional assistant' which I think is one of those twats standing on the goal line so he's in the mix.

I never would have guessed Webb retiring would have gotten so much press. Here is a thing that shows Points/PPG for his matches in charge.

Howard Webb was the kind of guy who grew up in Yorkshire in the 80s and thought "hmm, I'd really like to be a copper"

I think FIFA should make a new rule that if an organisation you're a member of kills a load of one teams fans you shouldn't be allowed to referee that team's games. For example, a member of the Nazi party wouldn't be allowed to ref Israel games. Thoughts?

Its because football fans are loving morons with a warped perspective who see evidence of bias and cheating even when the most basic explanation and obvious is that they got shown up. Just flip the United/Liverpool scenario around and look at the Old Trafford fixture last season and you'll see a lot of people complaining about bias there as well. Its the exact same situation, except it happened to a different side.
