Kenny has already called the penalty a joke so I await the investigation into him as well

Fuck them. You can't ban players from games for something like this
You said, I think I'm like Tennessee Williams, I wait for the click, I wait but it doesn't kick in

nice one Ryan... starting to like you again  :D
"I always say the same thing. What is the difference between 4-3-3 and 4-5-1? Only whether you play the wingers deep or high. Then if you press the other team they will play deep, 4-5-1. And if you cannot press them because they are stronger than you, they'll play 4-3-3. People talk about systems, but maybe they don't know a lot about systems.

The old farts at the FA seriously need to get a life. I'm sure there'll be some loophole given that Babel didn't say this in a media interview or on an official website. It's just a personal opinion posted on his private albeit open access Twitter account. What people say or do in their private lives amongst friends, real or virtual, is just that. Private.

If he gets done for that then he may as tweet that Ferguson is nasty demented bullying hard shoulder shitting filthy old tramp and be done with it. May as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb.

his right so what...?

Well he's half right, the penalty decision was wrong but the red card was dead right and that played just as big a part in our failure to win today.

Nice one Ryan.  I thought we lived in a free country, were we had freedom of speech.  Everyone knows Webb is a closet Man fan, he sent Masch off for moaning, but when Rooney swears and tells him to F off, he looks away. 

Webb is a Joke, a bent joke who is ruining the game.

He made a good run within minutes of coming on and made an improved account of himself but to be honest he should really have been given the ball far more than was. The opportunities to get him on the ball were wasted really. 1 by JJ, 1 by Raul and at least 2 by Dirk plus others.
Never mind.

Someone tell the FA that if they are gonna look into Babel posting a pic on twitter they might ant to consider using their resources more wisely and look into Howard Webbs record of refereeing our games aganinst the Mancs. The is upsidedown logic and hypocrisy

Or indeed any game involving the Mancs, but thats for a diff forum

Of course the FA are investigating him, this isn't a case of bias against Liverpool, or corruption of Webb.  Babel questioned the integrity of a referee, you simply can't do that as a player, it's bitter, and it brings the game into disrepute. 

If Webb really tries to help Manchester United, he doesn't do a very good job of it - this season in the Premier League at Old Trafford he made two decisions which directly lead to goals for Liverpool, in 2008 he sent Vidic off in a game Liverpool won against Manchester United early in the season.  Also, today, if he was biased he had several opportunities to award more penalties for United if he wanted to make sure they won, but he didn't, because he is an honest referee and he didn't think they were penalties.  That's not to say he's a good referee though.

If I was the FA I would be more worried about his musical tastes than him posting a comedy but true picture of Webb.

He's not an honest referee, he's clearly taking bribes, and when this all blows up and comes out in the media, as it did in Italy, there's going to be a few managers getting sent down.

Webb is one of the most corrupt and worst referees I have ever seen.

He's a Manc mate, look at his previous posts.

But yeah you're right, just paranoia, of course, how could a ref be bent? In this day and age? Even if he isn't bent, he is a shit ref, because he gets most of the big decisions wrong.

The main criticism I'd have of Webb today was that he was miles behind the play for the penalty and made no effort to get closer. But at the angle he was at, I can understand him giving it. Gerrard's was a red card.

Fair enough he's shit, and that pen was a shocking decision especially given that the linesman hadn't flagged it and was in a much better position.

Er...he doesn't want to make it obvious?  According to you it is already evident that he is 'clearly taking bribes', so it must already be obvious.  If it's not obvious and clear, then what the fuck are you doing saying that he is corrupt?  You're vilifying because he's made some decisions which you disagree with and you're upset that you lost against Manchester United.    As for the Vidic red card at Anfield, I agree he should have gone earlier (he nearly killed Agger to get his first yellow card) but if Webb is only interested in helping United, surely he wouldn't have sent him off?  What's more, he would have given United a penalty, or made sure the game swung their way.  If a referee wants a particular team to win, he can make sure they do.

the lad is crap with his back to goal, well not crap but his touch can be a bit heskey-like at times, but play the ball in behind and he's dangerous. notice how ferguson immediately brought on smalling to deal with his pace. He's a massive threat and our quickest player by a mile.

Will play a big part for our run in as he offers something different. Kenny loves his fast inside forwards too.

His twitter is always funny, and it shows he cares. Time to shine

A fully deserved red card you mean. Two feet, off the ground, studs up and he played the man not the ball. That's a red card nothing else. If people are going to hammer Webb over the penalty at least maintain a bit of integrity over the other decision.

Good on Ryan, anyone who says he doesnt give a shit about the club couldnt be more wrong, he often speaks of his respect and love for both the city and the club, he's been putting in 'a shift' that so many people are desperate for a long time now. Hopefully under Kenny he'll get a run in the team, to finally one way or another prove that he's worth our time or not.

I seriously doubt it, but that doesn't mean it is impossible.

You're right. Lets just assume he is because he got one decision wrong and one right. Yep, that makes perfect sense. I presume that approached can be applied to any ref that gives a decision against us then? That'll be handy.

PS - there is such a thing as 'innocent till proven guilty', or do we not bother with that.

I'm basing my opinion on Webb's performances over the last 5 or so years, not just today. Feel free to disagree, I may be wrong, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that one man can consistently be given the same fixture every season, balls it up almost every time, and still be retained.
