Mark Clattenburg

[MANC LOYAL]

hardest job in football and you dont have tv replays to help you
sky and the bbc pundits have about 10 looks at it before saying anything

i would not be a ref in the premier league

Watch it didn't see it the first two times.Sorry to say it was hard to see.Happy to get this game out of the way.Looking forward to tuesday night to see how good we are.

It all starts again - United get a penalty after 4 minutes for the most blatant dive since Ashley Young's two belly flops last season or the Welbeck karate kick on a Wigan player and during the same weekend we get fucked by Clattenburg twice with a "basketball" goal and the none sending off of Wilkinson for a clear elbow on Balotelli. How predictable.

Let's not forget the corner Webb gave us against Southampton at home, then when all our players were in the box proceded to change his mind and award them a goal kick and 20 seconds later the ball is in our net. Or the free kick for handball against Rodwell at Anfield which I'm sure even Slur Alex would have been embarrassed to have give if he had been referee.

Just saying....

I was having this conversation with my lad yesterday, same shit new season.

For us agendaists (if that's a word) the powers that be fucked up last year thinking the rags had already won it and took thier eyes off the ball, looks like it won't happen that easily again.

Clattenburg missed the handball but his view was clearly blocked. He should have had help from his assistant (which I will call linesman because that is what his job is).
The linesman on our side was so inept in his performance it was begging belief that he had done this job before. Within the first 10 minutes Stoke should have had a throw in the ball clearly went 2 foot out and this lineman whom was stood 5 foot from it didn't even give it. That lineman would have been the only one apart from every fan behind the goal that saw the 2 handballs.
I will be interest to see how we move on with the elbow my belief is that Clattenburg didn’t book anyone as he wanted to review it afterwards and act on it. Now we all know if Balotelli had elbow someone in the face it would be trial by TV and every 15 minutes Sky would be running this. But that is the Sky agenda.
If Clattenburg does review the elbow and act on it I will say he had an okay game if he doesn’t well just confirms what we all know.

He is a C*NT.

I refuse to acknowledge this fuckin useless clueless **** as a PREMIERSHIP REFEREE,he manages to give a big decision against us every time and has been doin this for many years now.

I have no problem with his lack of decision with the Crouch handball as its highly likely he couldn't see exactly what happened.

It's starting to do my head in when fans still don't realise that refs do not see replays and aren't positioned in the nice high position of the fans in the stands who can see things much more clearly from that viewpoint. They can only give what they see there and then from the angle they see it. They don't see replays.

The day video refs come into football is the day football becomes a proper sport, rather than an unreliable game where too many wrong decisions are made or not made due to the officials jobs being too difficult.

Considering he missed Crouch virtually bounce the ball and spin it on his finger Harlem Globe Trotters style before he scored, and then the fore arm smash assault from Wilkinson on Balotteli having a blind eye turned to it. Clattenburg had a good game

 

[gio's side step]

I don't buy into the conspiracy theories like some however I have never accepted the Bellamy penalty/sending off decision away at Bolton a few years ago. That was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in football.

It was left a bit too late last season and the blatantness of the dubious decisions was becoming a bit too obvious so its started much earlier this season.

Bellend in a shit wig.

Throughout the season I think it'll be interesting to see which way the majority of "potential game changing" decisions go for and against City and United, even the bookies wouldn't give odds on something so predictable.

For me the hand ball was tough to make out at real time, must have been harder for the ref. The elbow incident, i beleieve that maybe this is something the assistant ref (Lines Person) should be looking for
