I can’t remember it entirely but wasn’t it especially harsh being so early in the game ?

Instead of making a splash statement and skulking away he should release the lot. He won't though, just did it to get his name in the papers like the rest of the refs in this country.

Yes, the red was drawn quicker than Clint Eastwood's gun in the good the bad and the ugly

Clattenburk once missed a refs training session a few years ago where he was going to be taking a couple of the sessions. His reason. He was getting his teeth whitened

It's a claim worthy of investigation I would have hoped, but I haven't seen any journalist so far want to take it on, like previously with Halsey's comments. I hope that changes.
We, and the FA especially, should be looking to champion the integrity of the game as much as possible, and should be very keen to understand the comments, even if historical, as to whether this runs deeper.
My suspicion would be that it does. Any big business attracts darker elements, football has been no exception, and i find that for the biggest and most attractive league game in the world, the Premier League and the FA are notably silent on what they are actively doing to guard against corruption and imbalance in our game.

The 14th February 2016 Danny Rose crosses for Spurs and the ball hits Sterling on the back whilst he was off the ground and impossible to say whether he was in the penalty area or not without VAR. Clattenburg without any hesitation whatsoever points straight to the penaly spot.
The fact that the ball hit Sterling on the back and there was uncertainty if he was even in the penalty area was ignored by that complete prat of a referee. He should have been sacked on the spot for that decision alone.

They remain silent because the worst ‘dark element’ in football is Manchester United. Unfortunately instead of calling them out to be the odious cheats that they are and have been for years, the FA and media don’t want to upset their cash cow.
I don’t see why they shouldn’t be held to account though, if Utd are relegated or disbanded then the FA and PL can still generate vast sums of cash from its other clubs coming even more to the fore.
It would be a wonderful thing if Utd were exposed as cheats and corrupt bullies and forced to start over as a non-league outfit, stripped of trophies and synonymous with all that is wrong in the game.

I can confirm it did hit his back, outside the area, and Clattenburg is a bent ****.The 14th February 2016 Danny Rose crosses for Spurs and the ball hits Sterling on the back whilst he was off the ground and impossible to say whether he was in the penalty area or not without VAR. Clattenburg without any hesitation whatsoever points straight to the penaly spot.

Phil Dowd was a close 2nd cheating **** too.

I'd suspect that those behind the corporate greed that's been slowly but surely ruining football since 1992 would've ear-marked him for promotion...!
