A strange one this, Webb missed many incidents in the game, some were blatant, but he did not influence the outcome. Two incidents of note, Ferdinand gave away a penalty just before Newcastle scored, it was on the assistants side which made it doubly disappointing, I am starting to become numb to missed penalties not given, and non-penalties given, to be frank it is the norm, and not acceptable, these are game defining incidents wrongly called, no other sport accepts this level of mistake in the application of the laws.

 

The other was a Rooney incident on 62, I was under the distinct impression Webb was going to issue a caution, he sprinted to the incident, with his hand going to his yellow card pocket. But on arrival he changed his mind, was it because it was Rooney, or was it because he realised it was nothing, only Webb knows the answer, I know what I thought.

All in all not a great day at the office for Webb or Man Utd, two performances that summed up the Christmas period.

  2. Just looked at your link, very interesting and confirms what we all know. However Arsenals rating should have been worse. If you look at the Arsenal decisions against stats they left out Mica Richards handball and the offside decision against RVP which denied him a goal both in the game we lost 1-0 at Man City.

  3. @ Strus , here is an important flaw in the site: They state that they don’t watch full matches only MOTD highlights which we know are very easy to manipulate.So they are bound to miss some incidents and I am not satisfied with their conclusions on some of the decisions as they all don’t agree and only decide by majority and each one of them tend to favour their favourites.
    Off the topic, Good start for the weekend after chelsea drew,newcastle losing and hoping for a win for bolton.Big chance to make a mark and put pressure on chelsea .

  4. Another review, keep it going chaps.

    Watched this game live and I have no doubt Howard Webb tried his hardest to keep Man Utd in the game as long as he possibly could. The game was still goaless when Ferdinand fouled Ba in the penalty area and it had to be a spot kick but Webb and his assistant simply refused to acknowledge his trip. In the end Newcastle overcame this poor decision and deservedly won the match in fairly comfortable fashion.

    I’m not quite sure why Howard Webb was allowed to Ref yet another Man Utd game so soon after officiating their game against QPR in the EPL when poor old Martin Atkinson hasn’t been summond upon since Utds defeat against Chelsea last season, nearly eleven months ago now.

  6. Saw the game as well Tasos, and completely agree with you.
    The lesson – you just have to play a lot better than the opposition to overcome these refs, but not so easy with our injuries.

    Same old Webb…….

  7. About the debatable decision website which in it is a very good website and adds more credibility to what we are doing over here in a way as we come to almost the same conclusion and this is: Arsenal is hardest done by and for some reason Stoke is the favourite team in a way.

    But the problem I have with this site is that they sometimes come to the conclusion in a way that we don’t consider as right. For example: the Yakuby offside goal from Blackburn against Arsenal. They reached the conclusion that it was a good goal because ‘it was difficult to see for the linesman’. On here at Untold we look at the decision and just see: was he offside (he was) and then come to the conclusion (the goal should have been disallowed). In a way it doesn’t matter if it was difficult to see or not. The only thing that matters for us: was the call right or wrong.

    At debatable decisions they do their judging in a slightly different way. But as they are not Arsenal supporters they sure add something to what we are doing over here.

  8. @finsbury – the kick on Frimpong was not a penalty because Frimpong’s head was only a couple of feet off the ground, below waist level. Also, the kick didn’t appear to be intentional either.

  9. I’ll never understand how people can say Webb is top ref. Once again he scores poor to average.

  11. I hear you JD, but the ball was already out of play! The Villan was more then a little late, could easily have not followed through as the ball was almost in the crowd by that point. Probably a foul outside the box, so why not a penalty? I don’t know. Looking forward to the ref review opn that one.
