A strange one this, Webb missed many incidents in the game, some were blatant, but he did not influence the outcome. Two incidents of note, Ferdinand gave away a penalty just before Newcastle scored, it was on the assistants side which made it doubly disappointing, I am starting to become numb to missed penalties not given, and non-penalties given, to be frank it is the norm, and not acceptable, these are game defining incidents wrongly called, no other sport accepts this level of mistake in the application of the laws.
The other was a Rooney incident on 62, I was under the distinct impression Webb was going to issue a caution, he sprinted to the incident, with his hand going to his yellow card pocket. But on arrival he changed his mind, was it because it was Rooney, or was it because he realised it was nothing, only Webb knows the answer, I know what I thought.
All in all not a great day at the office for Webb or Man Utd, two performances that summed up the Christmas period.
