Suarez dived in to the foetal position clutching his face. His intention was to get a free kick and get demichelis carded. It was clear simulation and unsporting conduct. As clear a yellow card as there is. Complete bottle job by clattenberg. I'm still fucking angry about it.city5189 said:I find it bizarre that clattenberg blew for the dive by saurez but did not book him for it. I thought any simulation results in a booking??
Boney said:even carragher at half time along with all the other 'so-called' experts said it was a pen.Barcon said:Anyone that doesn't think the Dzeko penalty was stonewall is just as bad as clattenberg.
Gillespie said:You should have had a pen for the Skyrtl forearm smash but to be honest you can't blame the ref. No one noticed it at the time and we wouldn't have known except for the replay from Sky.

He chose not to book him because he knew he was walking if he did, no doubt about it

Clattenberg didn't have the option to view several replays of the incident. If he did, he would have given it.
He didn't cost us this game today. None of the 5 goals today had anything to do with a refereeing decision.
Prestwich_Blue said:The only really stonewall penalty was the Skrtel handball but who saw that in real-time? Suarez could easily have gone and probably should have but I guess he's got to be 100% sure in a situation like that.CityFan94 said:I thought the ref was actually pretty good today.
He wasn't going to give a penalty today to either side unless it was a stonewall decision and I don't think any of them were.
Suarez probably should have been shown a second yellow for his dive, but Clattenberg definitively didn't cost us this result today.
The Dzeko one he went down far too late and Sakho didn't really take him out. The one on Milner(?) was a closer call but still not stonewall.
