Howard Webb, the FIFA Referee, officiated at Charterhouse School when the school hosted and played in the Independent Schools' FA Cup Final v Millfield, March 12th 2008 which the home team won! Webb was brilliant, making the most of refereeing a "minor" match as though it was a World Cup Final. David Elleray, the ISFA Chairman arranged this and with Millfield's consent, arranged for Charterhouse to host the match when there had been various postponements at the traditional "Football League venue", Leicester City FC. Below is Howard taking charge of the game which went to 0-0 aet and a penalty shoot out, won by Charterhouse following 20 (twenty) penalties.
16.30 TODAY-LIVERPOOL PLAY MANCHESTER UNITED a game first played on April 28th 1894 which Liverpool won 2-0 against Newton Heath in what was described as a "test match".
This match has been played on January 17th ONCE before in 2016. Liverpool 0 v Man Utd 1
On Sunday, January 9th 2011, Manchester United played Liverpool in a Third Round FA Cup tie at Old Trafford. It was Kenny Dalglish's first match back as manager.
Referee Howard Webb gave Manchester United a penalty in the second minute, which was converted by Ryan Giggs, and it proved to be the winning goal.
Liverpool's Gerrard was sent off 30 minutes later, United's Fletcher and Anderson were yellow carded, so the Old Trafford crowd of 74,000 were well entertained. Surely, the referee did not deserve the "Twitter" comment by Liverpool's Ryan Babel, a 60 minute substitute, who said, "And they call him one of the best referees, that's a joke!" This "doctored" picture of Webb, by Babel, didn't go down too well with the FA, who fined Babel £10,000.
