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.
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.
Mind the gap eh!?!?
@John
You are right John, as far as Sandro was concerned it was a case of ‘licence to foul’ courtesy of H Webb.
@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?
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!
@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!
wtf 2 times, stupid phone!
