Howard Webb to referee City at West Ham

Last updated : 03 August 2011 By Michael Morris

ref1His assistants will be Darren Cann and Peter Kirkup. The 4th official will be Philip Gibbs.

Webb hardly covered himself in glory at Cardiff City Stadium back in May when he turned down a couple of good penalty appeals before awarding a spot kick to Reading. It was a deserved penalty to the visitors but City's were valid claims too.

Webb was the man in charge when City beat QPR in 2003 at the Millennium Stadium so he has had his good City moments as well.

He is also a World Cup final referee and a Champions League final referee so he can't be that bad.
