  1. My recollection is that Mr.Webb’s performance overall was not bad. I do however remember that he allowed Sandro to commit a series of bad fouls, notably in the first half, before eventually giving a yellow card late in the game Contrast with the yellow card for Podolski for a first offence.

  2. Lol John was you watching the same game.

    The Asre didn’t get a kick for the first 20 mins.

    Once Webb sent off Ade and Spurs went down to 10 men they fell apart.

  3. @John
    You are right John, as far as Sandro was concerned it was a case of ‘licence to foul’ courtesy of H Webb.

  4. @Mick & John, maybe this highlights an issue with assessing a referees performance with numbers, on paper it looks as if he (Webb) had a good game although biased towards Tottenham. Im not arguing he did not have a good game but you both have highlighted an area where a ref can seem to fail yet overall seem to succeed?

    Plus, I am in no way attacking this system of assessment.

    @Untold

    Are we missing the assessors conclusions? Or does the bias cover the indiscretion mentioned above?

  5. I remember sandro fouling everyone that came close to him. Had we lost would be we claiming blue murder or not?
    Loved the game though and they are on a good run now.
    COYG!

  6. @superyid let’s see the stats on that first 20 min then, see wat it shows?
    In any case did you see the other 70min?

    I normally find ref reviews a bit boring but when it’s about a spurs win, I will tune in!
