Vedran Corluka slams Howard Webb ahead of Euro qualifier

Vedran Corluka has slammed referee Howard Webb ahead of Croatia's Euro 2012 qualifier against Greece.

The Tottenham Hotspur defender has said that he has had "negative experiences" of the English referee in the Premier League, particularly when his side have faced Manchester United.

"Almost every time I get at the game when Webb was in charge, I have had negative experiences," Corluka told SportskeNovosti.

"He was referee at some Tottenham games and almost every time he wasn't good for us. Especially against Manchester United. I hope that this time it will be different."

A point for Croatia in tonight's (Friday) match would see them book their place in next year's finals.
