PGMOL: Webb Town Meeting Private - Ipswich Town News
Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) says their chief refereeing officer Howard Webb’s Portman Road meeting with Blues CEO and chairman Mark Ashton will remain private.
Ashton revealed on Monday that Webb had agreed to travel to Suffolk for a meeting following a frank post-match phone discussion regarding referee Tim Robinson’s failure to award a penalty for a foul on Conor Chaplin during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Leicester and then moments later red card Kalvin Phillips for a soft second bookable offence.
We understand Webb was at the club yesterday lunchtime for the meeting, the details of which the PGMOL says it won’t be commenting upon.
"The contents of the meeting between ourselves and Ipswich Town will remain private.” a spokesperson told BBC Suffolk in a statement. Town in turn say the conversation will "remain confidential”.
Referee Robinson is not taking charge of a Premier League game this weekend, instead he is the VAR official for the Nottingham Forest-Newcastle clash on Sunday.
