Quote Seth at 01 Apr 2014 6.53pm I was merely pointing out that saying a ref deserves respect just because he's a "FIFA ref" is ludicrous given that FIFA knows as much about ethical governance and probity as I know about quantum mechanics. What the hell has "Ethical governance" and "Probity" got to do with the selection of top referees ? I like to think that to qualify as a FIFA referee one has displayed a great deal of competence in the field of refereeing and NOT been selected as a result of any dubious practices.

It's quite simple - you said Webb was ok because he's a "FIFA ref". But FIFA are the sh*ttest, most corrupt organisation in the history of football, so your useage of them as a byword for credibility is patently ridiculous. Do you get that?

FIFA would select me as a ref if I arrived in Zurich with enough cash in brown envelopes. They're more corrupt than Robert Mugabe and about as credible. "You can feel the stadium jumping. The stadium is actually physically moving up and down" FA Cup MOTD 24/4/16

No I don't accept that there is a "Credibility" issue surrounding the appointment of FIFA referees.You clearly feel that "Corruption" enters the fore when it comes to FIFA selecting referees.I happen to believe that FIFA referees are selected on merit but we obviously differ on this point.

Webb was probably thinking about the four grand he would earn at his next after-dinner gig when he missed the pen at Sunderland. Great call, Howard! All is forgiven! The right place at the right time

Against Webb look at this: Promotion-chasing Brentford had to settle for a draw in a game which saw referee Eddie Ilderton change his mind about sending off Sheffield United's Kieron Freeman and awarding a penalty. Freeman was dismissed after he was ruled to have fouled Marcello Trotta. But, after consulting with assistant Mark Dwyer, Ilderton rescinded the red card and gave a drop ball. "He got it wrong but he put it right," said Blades boss Nigel Clough. "It takes a lot of courage to do that." [Link] '- Really? Honestly? Back in the USSR,,,you don't know how lucky you are.
