Babel may face FA action over Webb photo

09 January 2011 20:00
The Football Association could launch disciplinary action against Liverpool forward Ryan Babel after he tweeted a photo of referee Howard Webb in a Manchester United shirt. The mocked-up picture appeared on the winger`s official Twitter page a matter of hours after his side exited the FA Cup at the hands of United at Old Trafford. Webb, who refereed the game which the home side won 1-0, angered Liverpool by awarding a first-minute penalty against them and then sending off captain Steven Gerrard. The FA confirmed to Press Association Sport: "We will definitely look into this matter." As well as the photo, Babel wrote: "And they call him one of the best referees? That's a joke."
