David Webb - Ipswich Town v Sheffield Wednesday |

A strange performance from David Webb, leaving my head in a |
|
little bit of a mess. Struggling to really describe his |
|
performance. Inconsistent? Erratic at times? |
|
I thought Webb started really well. Set a good level of foul |
|
detection from the start and always in control of the match. |
|
Unfortunately this didn�t last for long. |
|
For me, there was a pretty blatant foul on Furlong that went |
|
unpunished in the attacking third and it was from there where I |
|
felt Webb started to lose his accuracy in decision making. |
|
Some fouls were given and then some weren�t, irritating both |
|
sets of supporters. It was a sort of wishy washy performance I |
|
wouldn�t expect from Webb. |
|
The foul that led to the free kick for Sheffield Wednesday�s |
|
goal was harsh. I felt Kipre was much stronger than the forward |
|
without committing a foul. Maybe my Ipswich glasses are clouding |
|
my judgement but it�s no excuse for the poor defending for their |
|
goal. |
|
Then something started happening that was concerning. It felt |
|
like he wasn�t following the protocol regarding head injuries. |
|
There was one especially in the middle of the park for a |
|
Wednesday player which Webb went up to the player, pointed at |
|
him and then just played on. I expected the play to stop. |
|
There was another for a Wednesday player, admittedly while |
|
Ipswich were attacking, so it was more difficult to stop play |
|
but it felt far too long for play to stop. |
|
He had no influence on the result but I felt he got quite a few |
|
things wrong and that�s not something that I associate with |
|
Webb. Not a good performance for his usually high standards. |

I'm a bit of an outlier on here regarding opinions on David Webb |
|
and I'm afraid that performance was exactly what I expected from |
|
him. |

A similar performance when he refereed the Watford match here on |
|
4th November. Seems to concern himself more on having a throw in |
|
taken in the right place than picking up on fouls. |

I have seen David Webb live twice and he was excellent on both |
|
occasions. Two inferences to draw from this. First, different |
|
people are impressed by different aspects of refereeing and |
|
match control. Secondly, referees have some very good matches |
|
and some not so good. Neither of these observations are earth |
|
shattering in their profundity. |
