David Webb will take charge of the Swans on Wednesday night for the second time this season – the other being the 0-0 draw against Reading at the Liberty at the end of December.<\/p>\n

In 21 previous Championship appearances this season he has produced 55 yellow cards and 5 reds – his red card tally being the joint highest of any Championship referee, while his 4 straight reds is the highest.<\/p>\n

After taking up the whistle aged 20, David Webb became an EFL Referee in 2008 following various spells in the Northern League and the National League.<\/p>\n

David has taken charge of over 300 matches in professional football, and joined the Select Group 2 list last season.<\/p>\n

Webb represented PGMOL at the Dallas Cup in 2009 and as part of the exchange programme to Australia in 2018, and also refereed the League Two Play-Off Final between Coventry City and Exeter City in 2018.<\/p>\n

Webb was criticised by Steve Cooper last December after booking George Byers for simulation against Luton and was convinced a penalty should have been awarded “We’ve seen the decision on the penalty back,” he said at the time.<\/p>\n

“Not only is it an absolutely stonewall penalty, but George gets a booking.<\/p>\n

“With him being a midfield player he can quite easily pick up yellow cards and get a suspension down the line when he shouldn’t, so I’m disappointed to be fair.”<\/p>\n

Webb will be assisted by Ian Cooper and Daniel Leach whilst Marc Edwards is the fourth official.<\/p>\n
