that's harsh on joey mate. bang out of order.Henkeman said:Lallana has basically proved Clattenburg's comment to be absolutely spot on by this pathetic whinge.
I really don't get why it is that at amateur level if you tell the referee to fuck off, you get sent off, banned and fined, but at professional level the referees just take it. You can lipread players all the time saying this stuff and worse - yet nothing gets done. It's one thing rugby has spot on. Call the referee "sir", any backchat and you're off. It'd be 8 a side for a fortnight and then the players would learn to keep their mouths shut.* And the game would be much the better.
*OK, Joey Barton would take a lot longer.

I don't know why any ref won't send off a player for swearing at them. Alan Smith has probably been the worst I've ever seen. Constantly shouting out ref and telling him to fuck off or go fuck himself. Rooney is just as bad.
I don't really have a problem with a ref swearing at a player if he's being a gobshite. I remember Graham Poll (decent no nonsense ref IMO) swearing at Terry and Cole for being gobshites then giving them a booking. Terrific stuff

Clatternburg is still one of the worst refs I've seen, along with Mike Riley and Poll
