Quite. Sportsmen and officials are taking bungs in every other sport. Why should football be immune? Clearly it isn't.

Can you imagine how much a penalty to the away side in such a tight game would be worth? Hugely naive to think the refereeing of games in this country is clean.

Couldn't get his whistle to his mouth fast enough for the penalty. Took absolutely no time to even consider it. Almost like he was waiting for his chance?

Anyone know this cunts address ? Winston Churchill statue anyone ?

The cnut deserves some sort of payback,both matches against Spurs he and the linesmen have seen us fucked over...

 

[dubblue]

Why did he twice put his whistle in his mouth ready to blow for a handball against Spurs but then not give anything? Cheating scumbag

It was very strange...not sure I've seen that before,he had the whistle in his mouth for ages!

I can easily accept that referees will make mistakes. The pace the game is played at and the fact that they only get one look at decisions mean that it is inevitable that they will mess up.

The decision to not award us a penalty against Leicester is the perfect example. On replays it shows that it was a clear penalty. In real time I was screaming for a clear penalty, not because I was 100% sure, but because as a fan we will appeal for anything. The fact Taylor was not 100% sure justifies his decision not to give the penalty IMO. Whilst I was disappointed and annoyed, I could understand the decision. You don't want officials guessing as that is where their elements of bias will come into play.

That said, Clattenburg 100% guessed at the Sterling/handball decision. Replays show that he did not have a clear view and the fact he went ahead and gave them a penalty anyway certainly suggests so. Why he felt the need to give a penalty for an incident that he was clearly not 100% sure of, as he couldn't see it, is another matter. It could be because he is corrupt, or pro-Spurs, or anti-City, or anti-Sterling, or just wanting to be the centre of attention. In fact, it could be all of them.

One thing that is for certain, the FA cannot have referees who guess at decisions. It undermines everything that they aim to achieve.

He reacted to the appeal from Danny Rose as he couldn't have had a clear view of the incident.

How can he be classed as a good referee when he has made 3 wrong decisions against City in 2 games - if he isn't corrupt ?

Going a long way back, I remember him not seeing a stamp from RVP on Adebayor when he was 3 yards away from the incident and had a clear view.

The man is a clear and blatant cheat, and should be removed from the List of Referees .

The little twerp just could not wait to give the pen
From where he was stood I cannot believe he saw it hit Raheem's elbow anyway.
Bent as fuck.
Pellers was outspoken post match and will prob get a touch line ban.
Ironically that may actually help us...why the fuck did he take Clichy off for Kolaflop?!??

It's curious that for instances like the Sterling pen v EFC and the Navas pen against EFC the ref has to be 100% certain in those circumstances. If Crappenberg was 100% certain that was a pen today then he shouldn't be refereeing kids games on the local croft. Probably the most perverse decision by anyone reffing on the planet this weekend. I call Crappenberg a cheat because he ain't gonna give that at The Emirates, Old Trafford, Anfield or The Lane any time soon!
