Said last week that I'd sooner have a blindman with the whistle.

Clattenburg today.

Thought he reffed it excellently today, and got most of the big decisions right.
You could argue Richards deserved a pen, but it wasn't nailed on. It was a close call, and I would've argued if it had been the other way round and they go it.
Wasn't particularly pleased when he was appointed ref, but credit where it's due. I don't think any Blue can legitimately claim he's biased against us after today. Still think he's a bit of a dick, but there was no bias today. He did well.

even with the sending off i'd still say he swung 70/30 to united today.
what still mind boggles me is the anderson tackle on Silva, absolutely disgusting!
an ankle breaker and not even a yellow, it was reckless, it was horrible.
apart from that he wasn't brilliant.

completely professional performance, lip reading him you can see what he was saying and it was very reasonable and fair, very good refereeing.
Well done Mark I slagged you off and now I apologise. Excellent performance and I really hope you can keep that level up from here on in, and just think of the huge games you can keep getting if you keep reffing like that.
So nice to have a really good refereeing performance after all the negativity this season alone.<br /><br />-- Mon Oct 24, 2011 12:30 am --<br /><br />
disagree, maybe the odd mistake but otherwise I thought he was excellent.

Considering it was at the swamp I thought he did fine apart from not giving us the penalty. He let a few heavy challenges go from both sides early in the game which is how a derby should be reffed. Overall I thought he was even-handed and didn't favour either side. Good to see he didn't hesitate over Evans red card
For the ppl complaining about Mario's booking, he had to do it. As daft as it seems it's a FIFA regulation and any ref knows they will be marked down (and possibly even demoted) if they don't show a yellow for that.

Thought he was really hard on us in the first quater and should have given a pehalty for the challenge on Micah...but that makes the 6 - 1 scoreline even better as the reds can't even use the excuse that he favoured us..

Like you say, Balotelli had to be booked for that, just because of ludicrous FIFA regulations. Can't blame Clattenburg for that.
I agree, there were a couple of heavy City challenges early on that other refs would've booked them for. He showed common sense throughout, fair play to him.

Tbf he had a good game.
Ball got away from Micah a little so I can see why he didn't give it.

Aye. Bet I wasn't the only one bricking it when Mario scored his 2nd as well :D
So glad he celebrated like he did though, that moment will go down in history and I absolutely loved the audacity of Mario having that t-shirt printed up knowing he would score and then standing there like it ain't nothing.
Getting giddy again now lol
