Howard Webb

After a string of bad decisions in the Sunday’s derby game at St. James Park, Howard Webb has been dropped from the Premier League officials line-up and relegated to League One for the coming weekend’s matches.

Webb has been penalized for the error-strewn performance in Sunderland‘s 3-0 win against Newcastle.

Howard Webb, who officiates primarily in the Premier League, having been appointed to the list of Select Group Referees in 2003, and has been a FIFA-listed referee since 2005, disallowed a completely legal goal by Papiss Cisse while David Vaughan was allowed to score when he was offside. He also missed out on a bad challenge from Yoan Gouffran and waved away a penalty appeal.

His two assistant referees, Darren Cann and Mike Mullarkey, who also came under sharp criticism after Tyne-Wear derby, will join him to take charge of Colchester’s clash with Shrewsbury on Saturday.
