Babel sorry for twitter attack on ref

RYAN BABEL has apologised for comments he made about referee Howard Webb in the aftermath of Liverpool‘s FA Cup exit to Manchester United.

The FA have confirmed they will be looking into the matter, as Babel also wrote: “And they call him one of the best referees? That’s a joke.”
