The Real Sandhurst Royal Why can't we have the top championship referees for both games.. Howard Webb's performance at the weekend was poor.
Are there any?

MOGGY Wasn't it Mike Riley's backside that gifted Norwich a late winner against us at home a few seasons ago - late in the season when we were chasing promotion?

West Stand Man Funny that, because I too was convinced that it was Mike Riley. Do we have evidence?

handbags_harrisThaumagurist* Oh no, not Mike Riley.
Howard Webb was shit, he failed to punish Birmingham's no 34 (Traore?) for barging into the back of Doyle (yes, he did give a free kick, but no yellow card?).
But by that token he did punish Traore then. He felt a free kick was worthy punishment. Correct IMO...
rhroyal I thought on Sunday Webb gave all the decisions Birmingham's way and was poor. However later on in the evening when I'd taken my blue and white glasses off and saw the highlights he wasn't bad at all. Phillip's goal was onside, contrary to what I believed when it went in. Jaidi and Traore were booked and I think it would have been harsh to send one of them off, neither were particularly dirty. He gave the benefit of the doubt to defenders contesting for headers most of the game - every ref does. Maybe Maik Taylor deserved a booking for his time wasting though. And Webb did get hit by the ball once and it fell to a Brum player. Shouldn't happen with a top ref, they should be able to read the game enough not to be caught in the wrong place. Aside from those 2 criticisms, no real problems.
gazzer, loyal royal got in the way of Tabb for the first goal. Tabb saw the danger, went to close down Fahey and Webb blocked him off
