David Webb

Interestingly, he reffed four games involving Sheff Utd last season, and in two of them he awarded Sheff Utd a pen, and gave a red card to the opposition. Just saying....

I smell a conspiracy.

Was he on the Grassy Knoll as well.

Bit weird, all you can find out about his birthplace is Lancashire, what's he trying to hide?

According to an EFL article he was born in 1978. Although it doesn’t directly say, it looks as if he was born on Wearside and supports Sunderland.
He has a NE accent. He is not related to Howard Webb.
 
As a matter of curiosity, and I know the points are gone, but does a manager & club have a formalised complaint route to the league in situations like this?

Not really, the ref assessor will put in a report the managers both report, the refs association do fortnightly reviews I think but always behind closed doors and observations comments never published.
 
Not too long ago we had a thread about the abuse referees get at grass roots football and the response was that the parents and players were only replicating the actions of the professionals they watch week in week out.
A few days later and the ref from the weekend has been called all the names under the sun and everyone seems OK with it.
Was he bent? We'll never know
Is he a good ref? On yesterday's showing there is definitely room for improvement.
Will all the vitriol change the result? Nope

Despite what happened yesterday we were a bugs dick off beating top of the table on their own patch against all the odds. Yeh, we all get pissed off with decisions the officials make, we just have to realise that their not really that good at their job despite trying their best.

Yes, they are given marks for different aspects and a very low score is more trouble than it's worth apparently.
 
I still haven’t got over the ref who didn’t give us the pen against Man U when we were 2-0 up but this guy didn’t make just one mistake the second half yesterday was a disaster let hope the EFL give him bottom division matches from next weekend
 
Is the reason he's put just Lancashire down as his birthplace is because he doesn't want it to be known he was born in Preston in the hope of refereeing a Blackpool match
 
The referee, in fact, all the officials were awful on Saturday. Not all their poor decisions were against us. Their 2nd goal which was ruled out for offside was a bad decision, there was a clear handball from Connolly also. This just makes we think they are poor, not cheats. Ultimately all we can do is improve on what we can control. Marvin's 2nd yellow was rash, a silly challenge which gave the ref no option. Whilst the ref should have carded the Shef Utd player for the push on Thompson, his reaction was petulant and again gave the ref the option to give him a 2nd yellow. This is where we need to improve, it was clear the ref had lost the plot so it was even more important to keep a cool head.

A very good point with some excellent football played and also a true battling performance towards the end. Hopefully some sense is seen and Lavery has his red rescinded, which at least means we aren't impacted too much for the Nobber game.
