Other refs' must have been puzzled by some of Clutterfuck's decisions. Surely PGMOL must also had concerns about his performance. Perhaps other ref's yielding to outside pressures was so widespread, PGMOL just turned a blind eye (and issued a ban on any manager making accusations).

I occasionally bump into a rag fan when shopping in my local Tesco. A few weeks a go he was desperate to get Ole Gonna Failure sacked. Saw him again today, "Can't believe how much he's improved the team".

John Cleese "The BBC used to be the best TV in the world, now it's just dancing and baking".

I'm not sure if it was Jimmy Armfield or maybe Graham Taylor who called Alan Green a fool, live on air, during a radio commentary.

Roy Keane for me. not his United connection but to his moaning, whining and being kicked out of the Irish team in 2002. I wonder if Mick McCarthy was familiar with the memorable quote from King Edward 1... "A man does good business, when he rids himself of a turd"

If your god is Omnipotent, Omniscient & Omnipresent, then he knows everything, and everyone's life is pre-ordained. Praying is merely a desperate plea to get him/her to change his/her mind.

I assume that's just backup in case the ref' misses an opportunity to GIVE a penalty to the Heathens

I always have an image of Waldorf & Statler from the Muppet show when those two are in the commentary box.

Rags are still 8 goals shy in GD. I doubt even this bunch of biased refs' would give 8 pens' in a single match. Probably spread it over 2.
