Clattenburg, the FA & Adebayor - proof that the system is bent

[Oystercatcher28]

I won't defend the officials but we dodn't help with years of chanting, "The referee's a w**ker."
They didn't need to go Specsavers either, it was premeditated.
I think we need to place our trust elsewhere. Churchill? Banks? Jimmy Saville? Lance Armstrong? Joey Barton? Russian athletes? Referees? Turns out humans are just humans and sometimes inhuman.

It's this type of shit that wants to make me give up on footy altogether. Bellend blatter and froggy platini, the ffp bullshit and making Qatar the desert nation hold a word cup in midsummer. Footy is corrupt, the ref is now on record saying it is bad to the very core in the English game. Disgusts me.

Just to keep you updated, the World Cup is now in winter in Qatar.

prob coz it's not twattenburg sticking ther stools/elbows into the opersition.. Don't give them the excuse to be the cunts they re..

Stick their stools into the opposition should be a bannable offence. It certainly didn't sound hygienic.

Lets not forget the rag Riley running the refs and how any referee that gave a rare decision against Utd and incurred Fergusons rage went ages without reffing Utd again

I thought this would've blown up bigger than it actually has.

A Christmas day world cup final?? Point even further proven, and didn't even mention Russia or the rags. That'll be fun. The opposite of a summer tourney as is normal. Can't wait.

BBC reporting that PGMOL dent Halsey's claims. They didn't actually report Halsey's claims at all until the PGMOL had denied them.

Wonder why the allegation was not deemed newsworthy but the denial is?

Balance! But never believe anything until it's been officially denied twice.

Gotta love talksport.

Having not reported this story all day they are now running this as an exclusive. YCNMIU

They're citing a particular game. That may be the "exclusive" - unless it's in Halsey's book and they read it.

It's pretty simple. United win millions of plastics switch on. United lose they turn off. Being plastic they have to see their team win. It's a weakness in their dna. Sky etc know this and simply have to obey.

To get back to the original point I have read all 19 pages and no one has mentioned the Rooney elbow a couple of seasons ago. Sorry cannot remember the game but it was clearly shown on screen, Clattenburg ignored it and FA later stated the ref had seen it but decided it was a coming together. Which was strange as the only contact was Rooney's elbow and the defender's ear with both of them jumping for the ball.

On the topic of bad refereeing what about the cup game against Arsenal several seasons ago when Arsenal should have finished the game with 7 players on the pitch. Apologies for the less than detailed memory.
