County Durham referee David Webb is the man in the middle for Dale’s FA Cup third round tie at Barrow.

Mr Webb has been a regular at our games since joining the National List in 2008 and this will be his 12th Dale appointment in total.

We last saw him at the Crown Oil Arena on the opening day of this season for the 3-2 defeat to Peterborough, while David’s last Dale away match was our 2-1 loss at Swindon in December 2015.

Other notable Dale games refereed by Mr Webb are the 5-0 defeat at Barnsley in May 2015 and the excellent 2-2 home draw with Brighton in April 2011.

The full list of David’s Dale matches is:

dingdangblue added 19:52 - Jan 5 I remember the 2-2 with Brighton. Webb failed to award us the most blatant penalty for handball I've ever seen at Spotland in the 90th min to win the game. Even Gus Poyet said he couldn't believe it wasn't given.
