Yes, some strange controversy with the guy, but a top ref.Raheem Sterling just sent me a text to say you missed the bit where clattenburg makes stuff up.

I may be in a minority here, but no ref plays the advantage better than Marc Clattenburg.
Clattenburg was a cheating bent lying ****, where did you get this shit from , did us over numerous times.Pre-Prem days, I worked with a guy in the civil service who was also a lino in the old First Division. He was primarily a Rugby League fan not immune to dishing out good natured abuse (in his opinion) to rugby officials from the stands. He used to talk about the assessor in the stands, and always maintained that every significant error was reviewed in minute detail in a firm but fair way. In those days refs and linos were paid expenses and a modest fee. But in today's game with refs being more high profile and much better paid, I wonder whether the assessors are as rigorous. It's not as if Dean's standards have dipped - he's always performed to this poor level. There's not a single ref that I now trust. In recent years (and don't laugh), setting aside the student haircut and tattoos, Clattenburg is the only ref I trusted - comfortably able to keep up with play, always playing the advantage (only bringing the ball back when the move breaks down), few mistakes and appreciates that football is a contact sport.
Can only remember being at one match when we were on the end of a poor Clattenburg decision.Clattenburg was a cheating bent lying ****, where did you get this shit from , did us over numerous times.
I know I'm in a minority of one (like I said).Can only remember being at one match when we were on the end of a poor Clattenburg decision.
I knew I'd be in a minority on this one.Did you miss Clattenburg's incredible decisions in the Palace vs Rags cup final a couple of seasons ago?
That was one hell of a bent refereeing performance
What about him booking Bellamy at Bolton after he had been hacked down from behind.Can only remember being at one match when we were on the end of a poor Clattenburg decision.
