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.
spot on. i've been very critical of clattenburg in the past but our defeat wasn't down to him. some people need to rewind & look at the game again in the cold light of day.
