maybe Webb just penalises sh*t play acting, which I actually applaud.
completely disagree on this mate. i get your sentiment and i do think that diving and play acting should be stamped out of the game. if a player dives to try and get a penalty, he should be yellow carded, that's the refs job.
but, penalising a player for "over-acting", which is, it must be said, one of luis' weaknesses, by not awarding him a legitimiate penalty is unacceptable and should not at any stage, be a part of a refereeing guideline. it's a dangerous train of thought.
my preference is that persistent divers are retrospectively penalised by way of fines, retrospective cards and even bans by the fa. the ref's job is to ignore any theatrics, reactions from players, emotional outbursts and referee a game on merit...something webb has repeatedly failed to do so and thus proving my point that he is indeed a human turd.
