Englishman Howard Webb has been chosen to referee the World Cup final between Netherlands and Spain in Johannesburg on Sunday, Fifa has confirmed.

The 38-year-old Yorkshireman has had a good tournament so far, as have his assistants Michael Mullarkey and Darren Cann, who will join him in the final.

Webb is the first Englishman to referee the final since Jack Taylor in 1974.

He has refereed three World Cup matches in South Africa and has neither shown a red card nor awarded a penalty.


Congratulations!

Why does hypocrite come to mind with that comment!!!

Do the decent thing and close your account for wanting a fellow Englishman to die  (thats twice today you have wished someone to die!)


whilst on the other hand - Congratulations to Howard.  From the matches I have seen (and remember inbetween the pints) he has had good games.

This is leading up to a great final Smiley

I didn't know he was ex-filth. One to remember is that, cheers!

He is indeed, he used to be a decent referee but like all the other's once they become one of the "better" referee's it goes to their head and they suddenly start bottling decisions when it comes to refereeing games involving the big teams.

I forgot about him being Stelios' good luck ref, that was before he started bottling decisions.

Love that photo! Stelios's talisman!

I always though he was an Inspector, not a sergeant.

Personally, I think he is one of the better refs tbh.

PS Did I tell you I am selling Stelios's shirt on Ebay. You know it makes sense.

I also think him one of the best refs in England and I wish  him a good game on Sunday.

By the way, he's on a 5-year hiatus from the police force to do his reffing, is what I read.

Whatever happened to Uriah Rennie?  He was an excellent ref for BW.  Did he retire?

I hope he does us proud and has a good game, and that he doesn't have any moments that make him look like a dick in the World Cup Final.

Dunno, but I wouldn't mess with him though.
