Mark Clattenberg

I just hope we get to 40 points.

Corrupt officials dictate the league.

I thought he was pretty decent tonight.

Are you related?

Nope, just honest.

Was there something more sinister happening last night?

I have just been listening to a bookie on talksport who claims betting before kick off on Chelsea went through the roof after it being quite even before hand. Now I know this in itself might not seem to strange but with Mark Clattenburg refereeing following his shady goings on in the past added to Lyons very bizarre 7 goal swing in Europe the other night which he refereed it just makes me wonder if this guy can be trusted?

Many refs wouldn't have sent Evans off, Clattenberg did.
Many refs would have sent Yaya off, clatternberg didn't.
He got the penalty wrong for us, but right for them. He got the sending off of clichy right, but failed to send the idiotic Yaya off.
He had a typical refs performance but to those saying he gave the penalty to Chelsea - wrong. Lescott gave it them. Schoolboy error by him.

Bottom line though, we lost that game because we completely stopped playing after 25 minutes, Yaya stank the place out and Silva didn't get into the game - none of those factors were the refs fault.

This. Although he failed to give us a penalty at Old trafford for the foul on Richards also.

Too many games now are decided by incorrect decisions by refs. last 2 weeks alone you have had us 1 up and a penalty not given which if scored would have probably won us the game. Blackburn 1 up at Sunderland had a 2nd goal wrongly chalked off, which again would have won them the game probably and ended up losing. QPR last weekend 1 up at home to WBA and SWP scores a great goal for 2-0 only to be flagged for offside which he wasnt. Ended up drawing.

Fact last night though is after 30 mins, we didnt play. Toure was lucky to stay on the pitch and gave the ball away time after time, often in dangerous areas. Its no disgrace losing 2-1 at Chelsea and losing may actually help us, as 1) every team wanted to be the 1st team to beat us so most have upped thier game, this is now off and 2) gives the players a kick up the backsides. We have riden our luck in some away games of late, QPR, Liverpool. Luck ran out on us yesterday. Any other team in the PL would still prefer to be in our position though

Most likely under orders, he saw the penalty but chose not to give it. It's not his choice it's his job.

true.... reflecting this morning i realised that every manager at some point were complaining about referee decisions. although we have had them too, it never cost us a game. we were beat by a team that needed it ...you could see that in the fans reaction. as read elsewhere,if that s not a indication to whee we are i don t know what is. chelsea were celebrating like they won the league.....it was a home game with city?

less fingerpointing, more reaction is whats really needed !!!
